The wife and I were working on things.......until today I think.  To make a long story short..........

Went to a casino last night for a really late holiday party.  We took out $200, $100 for each of us to spend.  Well, the kid has been wanting to go and see WWE Smackdown when it comes to town.  I decided to take $80 and just go back up to the room and hang with the kid so I didn't get tempted to spend the money.  Yes, I just left the wife on the casino floor, but she was with a friend and we were apart most of the time anyways.  Well, the wife is pissed and said what I did was decietful and underhanded.  And she's all sorts of pissed off wanting to leave again.  I'm not getting it.  I decide to save some of the money and made a choice to save some of the money so I can do something else with the kid that the kid wants to do and she's mad.  Yes, it's something I want to do too........so that makes it all about me.  But........I didn't ask for her not to spend the money or her to not hang out on the casino floor with her friend (one of my co-workers). 

I'm not understanding this whole thing.........I apologized for leaving her on the floor and not telling her I was going upstairs........but she didn't even bother to see where I was at till almost 2 hours later.  I also felt guilty about leaving the kid in the room alone all night.  My parents used to do that to me when I was a kid and we went to Vegas every year.  Just didn't feel right to me.  So in turn when I think I'm doing something good and doing the right thing, I'm an asshole.......

WTF??????

Ya... you should have at least passed by the wife and said you were going up. When you'reout with your wife and you just disappear... that's not going to end well kids or no kids.

I'm with Tank. Just check in so she knows. The rest could be a control issue though.

It's funny that you think you could win an argument with your spouse under any circumstances. I'm pretty sure that if God himself stood next to me, absolving me of all responsibility for every shitty or stupid thing I've ever done, I would not be out of the doghouse.

I agree with the whole check in thing and think it seems a bit over reactive....but, and I hate to say this, it sounds like there is another issue beyond the Casino floor. Though I could be wrong, I was not there.

Yes, you are an asshole. :) She did overreact though. Get her a hooker and all will be good.

If you ever win an argument with your wife, you still lose, because now she's pissed and wants you as miserable as her. Always check in so that she knows where your vagina is. 8D

You're right about not feeling right leaving your kid alone all night at the hotel room. THAT's what the both of you should focus on, IMHO.
