Now let's say I leave my house at 5:00. I am going to zig zag around the earth at the speed of light and get back to my house exactly 1 minute later. I tell my wife "I'll see you in a minute" and I take off. I go 18,000,000 miles coming back to my house in exactly 1 minute.

By mans measurement of time my wife is 1 minute older, and so am I. Who gives a fuck about anything in between.

BUT your wife is on the planet earth which is moving. its not going to be in the exact same place 1 minute later.. it may be closer or farther away from where you left it depending on which direction you went.
