I went w/ my wife to her home country for 2 weeks when I didnt even speak the language. Yet she cant even watch the superbowl w/ my family?!?

So...why don't you just go and spend the day with your family? I've had dental surgery and it's painful for more than a week. Forcing her to go see your family and watch a football game that doesn't interest her is cruel and petty. Let her stay at home and rest, while you drive 15 minutes and watch the game. Then drive home. Everybody is happy.

I would divorce you. It’s probably like being with a giant baby.

Man you're pathetic, you don't see your dad very often yet he only lives 15 minutes away and you're using that as an excuse? Someone needs to put their foot up your rectum. It's not going to be exactly peace and quiet there, be more like a madhouse and someone who is in pain certainly don't need that. Go by yourself. And a football game certainly isn't a 2 hour game.

Dude you're her husband, not her owner

So because you went on a vacation you genuinely enjoyed, she is now obligated to go to a social event she won't enjoy, while she's in pain and just wants to be home? Oh yeah, that sounds really reasonable. Especially the way you present a fun vacation as a huge sacrifice you now demand payment for. By the way, is there any particular reason you can't go spend a few hours with your dad without having your wife hold your hand? Are you disabled, or literally joined at the hip? Because it sounds to me like you can both get what you want without a fight: you go watch the Superbowl with your dad, she gets some peace and quiet at home.

I don't watch the "Superbowl" either. This is England not America, what the fk they show it here for is a mystery. I bet they don't show the Ashes (Cricket) in America. I say fk the Superbowl.

you do not sound like a husband that wants to make your wife "happy" at all, maybe she dislike drinking and party and loud cheerings? just let her stay home, a game do Not matters more than your wife, i do not see any problem at all

Maybe your family was mean to her at some point.

What you need to do is be the alpha you claim to be, put your foot down and tell her "Honey, I spent two weeks with your family, if you can't spend a few hours with mine when it's important to me, then pack your stuff and get out." Then tomorrow morning you file for divorce.

Argument today, divorce tomorrow? Because you both seem to be unreasonable, short tempered types who want only what's best for yourselves, not each other. It's not a union which will last unless you learn to talk to each other in a reasonable way and really discuss what's troubling you.
