The worst thing you can do is ask unrelated people their opinion about YOUR relationship with your wife.
Man up.
If she broke it, she replaced it. She did the right thing. Where's the problem?
 
I don't know...to me its just feels like if she didn't want to tell him what happened to the phone..which really when ya think about it isnt really a huge deal...what if something really important happens...would she say anything?
Perhaps there is something else there where she feels as though telling him will be followed up with repercussions that she simply wants to avoid.


OP You say:

Because we're adults. She's not my daughter and she doesn't have to hide things from me.


If that is the case then why this comment (kidding or not) along with other stupid ass ideas of "trolling" her. If you're an adult then you should know that it's silly to avoid asking her and turn to this community for answers.

I'm thinking I'll tell her I dropped my phone today and shattered the back glass, see what kind of reaction I get :D Or give her a black eye.....I kid....she did get it fixed.



OP, I honestly don't know which is worse..
1) her fixing her mistake and just not telling you (for whatever reason - and i'm not saying she's right in doing that, she should be able to tell you anything since you're her husband)

or

2) you KNOWING what she did and letting it build up and not saying anything about it right away but asking complete strangers what you should do in your marriage..

Just my 2 cents.
Agreed.

There is so much agony over this, it's remarkable.
 
Just tell her you had to go to Apple because your phone heated up and exploded. Apple said it was a faulty back glass ;)
 
Thank god you have a wife who is smart enough to know that the back glass can be fixed, and get it done the same day all in an attempt to keep you happy!!!:D
 
What would be funny is if she didnt replace the back glass and you just didnt realize the condition of it. I also think your P-noid, i understand it would be nice if she decided to fess up and you think she's keeping secrets but if thats all it is then let it go, be glad she's not having an affair with an Apple genius.
 
Something like this happened with my wife. While I was deployed she accidentally backed my truck into a post (in fairness, that post was hard to see as I almost hit it a few times) and scratched the rear quarter panel all up. She had it repaired and wasn't going to tell me. She then broke down crying and confessed it all.

I just looked at her and said "Sweetie, it is ok. I'm just glad you weren't hurt, the truck was easily fixed but you can't be". She hasn't hidden anything since.

I would rather my wife trust me enough to tell me that she damaged something rather than be scared to confront me about something like a simple phone. Why does she feel she has to hide it from you, that would be my concern.

THIS

Don't you love all the serious answers. The guy simply wanted to mess with his wife a little bit. I see some of you people lead very boring mediocre lives. :eek:

AND THIS

I ended up just telling her I noticed. She said that she dropped it getting out of the car and told her friend who knew a place that could replace it. She paid $60 for something I could have done if she were honest with me.

As mentioned by Greatbape, we constantly have fun with each other. We do not lead a dull marriage by any means. I feel really bad for couples that still can't have fun with each other. And I never meant it to be anything vindictive, just some light humor to make an embarrassing situation a little more bright. Jeez.
 
I have to slow down when reading early in the morning... I read the thread title too quickly and thought it said...
"Swapped phones for my wife" :eek: :D

The bold part is something called sarcasm.

There is no agony, sorry your reading it that way. Lighten up, it will do the world some good. Thanks for the female perspective though....
 
My wife dropped her iPhone in the toilet and never told me. Boy, I felt stupid arguing with the Apple Store that it was not water damaged when I took it in for a repair because she claimed it was acting funny. She fessed up once I came back with the replacement I had to pay for.

At least your's fixed it on the sneak. Hahaha.

I'll trade your's for mine. Wife that is. HAHAHAHA.
