I skipped going to my wife's play to see the Avengers movie.
Why would you skip your wife's play to see the Avengers movie?
They were on at the same time.
You could have seen the play and then seen Avengers after. Or before, it's not like it was only going to show once.
It was fine, I'm sure my wife didn't care.
The movie was probably playing at other times and you could have seen it at a different time. Your wife probably wanted you to see her performance and she may be hurt because you didn't. It's important to be there for your partner and help them celebrate their accomplishments.
