Hey all. My wife had some work friends over last night for a karaoke night. Usually these types of things take a lot of prep and planning on my part and aren’t cheap for us to host as we’re usually hosting up to 15 guests. She works nights, so it’s usually on me to get everything arranged and set up.

The night started great. The food was going over well and everyone was having fun! It was getting late and people started to trickle out so we switched to just talking in our family room with a few remaining friends.

My wife clearly over served herself. In the past, this has been a problem that we’ve discussed because it typically ends in her embarrassing herself, getting sick, or being mean to me Including calling me out in front of others for things she views as sleights against her.

Last night, it ranged from her calling me names (namely Pendejo) and then loudly complaining about how I proposed to her in front of a few of her friends. It ended with her bringing up my dating past before her (admittedly I was a bit promiscuous in high school)Not wanting to make it awkward, I just kind of took it and said nothing.

I was exhausted after everyone had left so I went right to bed.

Waking up this morning, I really started to think about it some more. I’m really not sure if I’m being overdramatic and this is just playful ribbing or if this is an actual issue. What really got me thinking about this is just how positive and supportive the other two couples were towards each other while being in a similar state. I’ve tried to maintain distance today (she’s been sleeping) and don’t really want to be around her right now. To make things worse, I had bought us tickets to an event tonight but have genuinely lost all motivation to go. I’m tempted to list them for sale to see if I can at least recoup what I spent.

Am I being dramatic over this whole thing?
