Angry, should I be?

This evening I got home from work and found a note from my wife saying she had gone to Paris for 4 days and she would see me next wednesday.

Am I right to be annoyed by this? I am fuming, I know why she's done it, she mentioned wanting to go a few months ago and I said we would, anyway a few weeks ago she asked if we could go over it and I said we'd talk about it another time, I was tired, just got in from work and wanted to relax, not go on about booking hotels etc. So I think she's done this to prove she can go without me. If I had done this she would've gone mental.

What are your opinions, am I over-reacting?

My suggestion to you is this:

  1. Clean the house,
  2. Make dinner for Wednesday (or better still, a dinner reservation somewhere nice)
  3. When you see her, ask her what she saw in Paris (galleries / monuments / people watching etc) and what she enjoyed most.
  4. Listen

But so true Diva....I was talking to dh the other day, nothing mind blowing, just about my day...and he proceded to pick up his mail and start reading it, totally ignoring me..

He then wondered why I became upset. Forgetting the fact that I can go days without speaking to another living soul (except him & dd), due to the fact that we have only been here 12 weeks and I haven't got the whole circle of friends thing going yet!

They get so engrossed in their worlds to the detriment of all else! As lexmark is just finding out!

I was assuming she'd gone abroad with a man but I might be wrong of course... so turning up there might not be a good idea.

What 'DontLookAtMe' said.

She wanted to go to pris, she wanted you to go too, you were busy watching TV - at least she has sorted the childcare and hasn't left you with any responsibilities.

4 days on seaparate hols is no bad thing if yu have a good relationship...talk and sort!

I have to say that I am rather full of admiration for your wife.
