First of all isn't it ironic when you need the tools to fix a flat most & don't have them you get a flat? Second never ride with out them. Third, don't feel bad about having to call your wife to come rescue you. There have been times I had everything I needed to deal with most mechanical problems, multi-tool, pump, spare tubes, patch kit, etc. I have still had to call my wife because something happened I could not fix. Finally always carry an adapter that allows you to pump the tire up as if it were a schrader. Put one in the patch kit box.
My patch kits consists of glue, patches, small piece of sandpaper, valve stem tool, presta to schrader adapter, extra valve caps & emergency chain links, I had to find a larger plastic box. I also carry the Topeak Mountain Morph pump, 2 extra tubes & a multi tool.
