Damned if you do, damned if you don't!

I swear when all is said and done I'm gonna write a book about my marriage. And in that book are gonna be reasons I love my wife and reasons I can't stand her. Right now what stands out the most are the things I can't stand. For instance...when two people have a disagreement it helps if both parties try to see the other sides point of view. This helps to come to an understanding. Even if one of the parties is wrong. Today's example: My mom called to tell me she went by one of her old girlfriend's(like an aunt to me) job. She found out the woman had left because she had a stroke. But she didn't have a current phone number or address for the woman. I said I could email my ex because her daughter and my aunt's youngest son were close. Well I sent that email yesterday and found out my aunt died yesterday. Blower right? Well, I was conveying this information to my wife and decided to leave out the part about my ex right? Just so she wouldn't think there was something goin on with the ex(that I hardly EVER talk to). Well she get to calling my mom and realizes that instead of me findin all this out from my mom, i'm the one doing the finding. So then I tell her how i came about the information(truthfully) and she goes ballistic. I'm like, ok i shouldn't have lied but try to understand I was just tryna keep the ex's name out of it. But of course, she is gonna make a big beef outta it when all she had to say is "you don't have to lie to spare my feelings" or whatever. Followed that by mumblin under her fuckin breath and shit and me telling her "enough already" and her then hanging up. My book is sure to be a best-seller. I know it will.
