Me [25 M] and my wife [26 F] had a huge fight a couple weeks ago but resolved it. Today had the same problem that caused the first fight.

Relationships

My wife and I share a car but usually I just let her use it while I ride my bike. It's been cold and snowy recently so I've told her I don't want to ride my bike if at all possible.

Three or four weeks ago, I needed to go to work and was counting on her being home with the car. When she never showed up I called her and she said she was out shopping and couldn't I just ride my bike? I got pretty angry because now not only was I late for work but she is obviously not appreciating how sucky riding a bike through freezing temperatures is. We fought for a few days, worst fight we've had in three years of marriage. We came to a resolution, she apologized, and we were both glad to be done fighting.

Now it's a few weeks later and again, I have to go to work and am waiting for her to be home with the car. When she doesn't show up, I call her and she says she's out running errands. I don't understand how she could repeat the same action that caused such a horrible fight. Is it intentional? Does she just care so little she didn't think about it? I'm confused. I don't want to start another big fight but how is this same thing happening again? Any advice on what I should do? Thanks.

tl,dr: Wife and I got into a big fight over something she did but resolved it. Few weeks later she's doing the same thing again.
