Deep S*it Wyoming...

With no ticket out.....

Background: My brother lost his job, so he is living with me for the time being...

He and I went out for a bit tonight, bad part is, I did not inform my wife where I was going or when I would be home...

End result... She is pissed..


HELP!!!

AFJ

Grovel, my friend, like there's no tomorrow. Otherwise you'll be watching the big game in the Sears electronics department.

Tell her you were out looking for something to give her for Valentine's Day. took all day because nothing you saw seemed worthy enoug for a woman such as her...(you can embellish on this a bit...I'd recommend it. )

Look at her with a distant, spellbound look in your eyes. Then go ahead and suggest to her you where abducted by aliens.

I tried that number once.

Only once...

sell your porsche as an act of contrition, then buy another one 9 months later, then get divorced another year or two after that.

works every time...

Sounds like you know what you are doing...how many times have you done this?

Nostatic: Too many times Matt, too many times...

LOL!

I'm not married so not really qualified to answer in any way, but, what exactly did you do wrong? I honestly don't get it.

In that case Shaun, please don't ever get married. For your own good, just trust me on this one.

Tell her she has every right to be pissed.
1) She probably won't be expecting that, and
2) Women love to be told 'it's okay to feel the way you feel'.

Good luck!

Paul.

Same here. Not married and not understanding the crime. From what you've written, it seems you gave of yourself to help a close relative make it through a tough emotional time. I'm not being sappy when I write that. I mean it and I genuinely applaud you. If you were my friend, spouse, or SO, I'd give you a pass on any "infractions" committed while helping another person. Her reaction does seem a bit insensitive.

If by "bit of time" you mean a few hours, then there's no problem. If a "bit" means a few days, well then you have a problem. If its the first bit, then tell her to quiet down, because if you are looking at a long married life, it wont happen with her.
