I upset her so much she stayed at a hotel (she didn't tell me which one.) I honestly didn't mean it. She won't answer my calls. What should I do? She's also pregnant with our first child.

First of all honey, when you argue with your wife, NEVER again say things like: "We are done.... I want a divorce....I'm leaving...or I don't love you anymore". They are huge "No-No's". I know when you are angry and in the heat of the moment, you want to say things to hurt your wife, or you may even feel really negative things in the moment. But if you say these things enough times, it will desolve the love between the two of you. It may be hard to do, but try to think of the consequences of your words and actions, even when you are angry.As far as what to do NOW that she is in a hotel, wait at few days to let her think about things. Someone HAS to know where she is. When you find her, give her flowers and a sincere apology, and explain to her that what you said was only because you wanted to throw a painful dart at her, to hurt her feelings. If you LOVE her, TREAT her as though you do.Take care XXX

You want a divorce.. but didnt mean it??Well first off I think because she is pregnant, and emotional, give her time to be by herself, and think and recover.. and let her come back to you.. You could make this situation worse off by nagging at her. When she really needs some alone time, to recover from this arguementI hope it works out for you.
