How I Got My Playstation 3

It was early July the Year, 2008. The sun is shinning as the birds are singing. Everything seems to be going exactly the way the earth has planned it to be. My son, (who is now 1) is going to turn 1 year old on the 8th of this month. My wife and I had already planned ahead of time to throw a huge 1 year birthday bash for him. As like any other party, we had lots of planning to do and items to buy! Exactly like any other plans, the confusion and frustration comes into play when one is seeking a different view than the other.

The problem escalated on the 3rd of July, 2008. My wife and I had an argument over me spending way out of our budgets and I blamed her for the lack of planning / helping me with the birthday party. The argument fast paced to a boiling point, to where she knew she had to leave or it’ll get physical (not that I’m abusive). Blasting her way out the door with our son, I puzzled and thought to myself, .o0(what is her problem?) Coming back to my senses I went to my computer and continued working on the Birthday Invitation cards.

Meanwhile, approximately two hours later my wife came barging through the door and ASKED ME TO TURN DOWN THE MUSIC!? I replied, “hi honey! You like our new speakers?” Suddenly I was confronted with a rush of anger as I felt my stomach ache. She had struck me with her bare hands! What happened was Amazon had this deal on a Logitech G51 5:1 Speakers for $80 after a $40 mail in rebate. I had to jump on it, although she had deliberately told me not to buy it.

After that heated battle I had to get out of the house myself. I left to mall with my brother and his friend. Inside I was feeling really frustrated and angry. I knew I had to get her back! The only one thing I knew that would get her really agitated was to buy the Playstation 3 Metal Gear Solid 4 Bundle. Plenty of times my wife has scolded me about games . *quote from my wife* “Stop wasting money on GAMES!”

To be continued….... The End =(


Thanks for the great comments all. Every little tips help. I just want to reassure everyone that my wife and I are doing great and so is our handsome 1 year old son. Every relationship has it's struggle. In the past we've been through many arguments because our relationship was still blossoming. Yet we've manage to always come around and go to what matter the most, Our Family.

So you and your wife argue about money and you go a spend $500+ on a PS3 to just "get her back". Good luck with your marriage.

But at least he'll still have a PS3. And that's all that a man really wants in his life.

Your actions - wanting to "agitate" your wife - don't make any sense for the situation. I don't think I want to know the end of this story either, as no good could possibly come of it. Also, if you are coming here for "counseling", you've made a huge mistake. You need to seek real, face-to-face, counseling.
it sounds like you are both idiots and never should have gotten married.

This is intense, can't wait to read more! I must admit though I really hope everything worked out between you two and it didn't lead to any real trouble...

Sounds like the classic case of mis-communication and "things will be different once we're married" syndrome. The physical abuse was probably present before marriage and should have been a red flag. I don't care if it's a chick beating a guy that's just not acceptable. Even still if you know that possibility is there you should try not to provoke the situation. Also, not sure if your wife is a stay-at-home mom or not but you have to understand her frustrations that come with having a young child (or child period) and the insecurities that can come along with it. You should be comforting to her and not alienating. One last thing, laying/taking blame on either side does not solve problems and you need to work as a team to make your marriage work because you don't want your child to be witness to this at such an impressionable age.

Wow, this is a lesson on the completely wrong way to handle relationship / marriage problems, kids. Take notes.

If you're married and have a child, you need to grow up and work together with your wife to setup a budget and stay within that. This isn't going to end well if you keep doing this, and your son is going to be the one to pay for your pettiness. Please stop.

I'll admit I would have bought the PS3 myself. But then again I don't know how it's like being in a relationship/married.

Buying something in spite of someone else is not that cool

talk things out instead of provoking one another. be the bigger man, go first, and say i'm sorry for being a _____. i'll try to get the money back asap. either try to return or sell the ps3 + games, etc.

the physical abuse thing...marrige counseling? if you don't get it under control now, jsut wait until your kid gets older. that leads to all kinds of psychological problems -.-

Your guy's problem is that you still acting like you're in high school with some BS drama.
You guys are spending time planning a freaking birthday party when you guys haven't even got the marriage thing down yet.
I really don't see the reason to throw a huge birthday bash for a freaking 1 year old.
At that stage the party is more for you, your wife, your friends, relatives, but not your son.
And trust me party's are not going to help your marriage only compromise and counseling will.
Its not like hes going to remember the damn thing.
Do a nice little gathering with friends and family and takes some pictures, thats it.

I'm sure years from now when your kid is older and both of you have been bitterly separated that he'll look back and say "Well, at least i had a big banging one year birthday extravaganza"

If you didn't have a child then whatever screw up your marriage any way you want.
But you do have a child and your responsible to raise him and make sure he grows up in a good environment.
This is not about you anymore and your petty little drama and paybacks.

Now take care of your son before he robs me in 15 years
