Back in the day I was arrested for some petty theft. (I was an idiot 21 year old)

I never have bothered to tell my wife what I stole as it is not important anymore. (Electronics, knives and other petty things.)

Tonight, out of nowhere, she's on the bed and I am at her feet, she starts nudging me. "What did you steal?" I smirked. "You're not supposed to keep secrets from your wife."

I'm not ashamed of it. But it just felt like a power game. Or a compliance test.

I would have just told her had it not become a big deal.

After ignoring her further while half smiling, she was smiling but had a bitchy tone.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go through your phone and reveal all your secrets."

I replied- "go for it, you'll just find all my girlfriends." In a sarcastic tone.

I kept everything light hearted with some C&F

The whe thing ended abruptly when one of my kids broke a glass ornament.

What could I have done differently? Or did I handle it pretty decently?
