If this is true like you say then you need to divorce. No reason to be around toxic people like that. Get the trash out of your life.

Just sounds like she was just as frustrated as you were and she misplaced the aggravation (with the missing hardware).

Not saying it was right but that's what it sounds like. I don't blame you for just walking out. That right there should send a signal to her that she said something she shouldn't have (aka taking out her frustration on you as if you had something to do with the missing hardware) and she'll think about what she said.

If the situation was reversed and you snapped at her for something that was completely not her fault, she'd be like, "What the heck? I didn't cause that...."

So just don't say anything, at least for the time being. She should bring it up and apologize for snapping at you. She saw you leave and didn't say a word so that right there should be a clue that she messed up.


But I get what you're saying.

You did the smart thing and said nothing and walked away. Sometimes you say the most when you don't say a word.

strip the bedroom bare... nothing but a mattress on the floor. No headboard, no dresser, not even a box spring. For damn sure no night stands. And those throw pillows that were on the bed... burn them.

You’re poor responses because you don’t buy handmade furniture from Italy?

I've never been married to a woman that would say a thing like that to ne.

If they did, I wouldn't be married to them for much longer.

I don't know you or your relationship with your wife. But for me, that kind of comment would make me seriously reconsider who the frick I'm giving my life to.

IMO a spouse is supposed to be in your corner. The one person who is always supportive and on your side.

That toxic comment is DRIPPING with hidden contempt, lack of respect for you, and who knows what else.

That's an attack on you in SO many ways that you might not be seeing.

She’s probably tired of just not being able to buy something and be done. Why do you always have to build it? It’s a damn night stand.

Tell us more about you? Are you one of those people who can’t ever call something done for fear of something, somewhere not being perfect? Those people can be pretty frustrating to deal with.

Doesn’t excuse her behavior but seems like there’s a bigger issue here.

Cad,

I'm sure y'all were both just frustrated. good idea to to just walk away and let things settle down.

I am sure your wife loves you vv much, and you her.

Might I suggest though, in the future before you start assembling things, that you check the diagram included with the furniture to make sure you have all the pieces before you get started?

That list thingy is included for a reason.

I have some extra hardware that I can swing by and install for you, free of charge.

What time will you be out?

Just built a shite ton of furniture for Christmas, I only got frustrated one time. My wife was kind enough to evacuate herself, the kids, the dogs, and brought me a drink before someone was caught in the crossfire

She knows damn well if she had said something like that I would have got up and said "ok you do it then" and walked to the porch.

Around here, if you can't do it you keep your mouth shut and don't judge someone that's trying to do it.

Your daughter is not getting older? Like a female Benjamin Button?

Kind of precludes me from asking for pics. Damn.

OP: The “I guess I’m going to have to call someone who can do it” line would have been the bridge too far line for me.

I’d have told her that to make sure whomever she called had enough room for her shite arse for an extended stay.
