Halloween 2023 disappointment...

So I got home from work with the idea to get my jumpsuit, belt, boots etc on to greet all the trick or treaters that came to our door (and there were lots because I set the front of the house up for halloween) and said to my wife “you listen for the door while I go and get changed”. She said “you’re not getting dressed like that!” so I said “why?”. What she said next I probably can’t repeat on here, but needless to say, it ruined my halloween and made me question my 20 year marriage.

I did not wear my gear.

that sucks sorry to hear

If you’re feeling that way about your marriage, then it sounds like you and your wife might benefit from speaking to a relationship counsellor. Her reaction and what she said may be part of a deeper issue you’re both experiencing.
