Default I think I am pissed about this

But as many of you know I tend to over-react to things. Absolute Poker sent me an e-mail with a deposit bonus attached and it was actually a pretty nice deal so I responded and asked how long it was good for. I have said on here that I am playing on a tight bankroll right now and am refraining from re-depositing any additional funds till I find the leaks in my game or this bad luck streak turns around. It contained 20%, free money on top of that and free entry to two different tournaments so I placed a withdraw from Party (That is currently taking WAY to friggin long) and told the rep I would make a deopsit as soon as I get my withdraw from Party if the bonus was still good.
He e-mailed me again about it adn I AGAIN told him as soon as I get my withdraw I would make the deposit.
About a half hour ago he called my house and talked with my wife. I think I am kinda pissed about this. My wife knows about my card playing and sports gambling so it's not causing me a problem, but WTF? Not sure I am gonna play there again because of this, that and Party is dragging it's feet on my withdraw (again WTF?)

Am I over-reacting or was this guy out of line?

I once had someone called me when I played on a blackjack site clearing a bonus and told me I had a freeroll to a slot machine tournament. I never played it but they called and told me about it.

So I dont see a big deal with it... they were just calling and reminding you, maybe thinking you forgot since you havent deposited yet.

Don't give them your phone number if you don't want them to call.

I wouldn't like it either, but I'm sure (well, I suspect) it's in the terms that you accepted when you signed up to play on their site.
