I don't know but I personally find it hard to believe that all of this happened because you wanted to "discuss" her trip.........there's lots of things missing here pal
I dont find it hard to believe at all.
Maybe the wife is one of those people whose egos are too big that they feel insulted when their wish isnt completed immediately.
In my life, i have seen quite a lot women acting totally ridiculous and childish (which are too nice words to describe their behaviour, but ok) and still people take their side, always assuming that no women would act like that without a reason.
well, sometimes they do act like that for no reason. Yes one reason there is: they are spoilt.
