     Did you try ever to apologoze? Isn't it hard task?

Why did you say that?

You could be silent.

Does it matter if you are right or not?

All the time, that being wrong keeps peace in the family, why do you have this petty wish of being right!

Men!!

What good did it to you, being right?

You will never learn, will you?

And don't say to her, that you are sorry.

That what will happen if you do:

"You? Sorry? Ha! Never! You never are sorry! You just say it for me to calm down! But you are not really regretting of putting me in all this grief. I should listen to my mother - she immediately knew that you are not good to anything but insulting. And this son of YOURS, how dare he to agree with you and nod his head! Well, at least MY daughter knows better! I will teach her how to be cautious with men. Go away! I do not want to see you! Insulted me this deeply and even did not think to apologize. I want to divorce!............."

And then, for other two hours and 45 minutes your house will be parted by invisible lines not permitting you to use the bedroom, the kitchen, the children's rooms and the living room, leaving for only use the space outside the outside door.

.

You should think about some other way to apologize.

Some creative way. Some way, no men thought before. For example the way women would apologize. !!!!

What I am thinking about? There is no way women would apologize, because women are never wrong. So there is no reason to apologize.

Nevertheless, they do it just for the peace of the family. Just to think how thoughtful women are! How would families would look without women!

So, how their kindness comes to expression? Women permit YOU to apologize. Isn't it enough for you? What? You would like to get their saying "excuse me?" Would it make you feel better in the night when she turns her back to you? Do you really believe that you can sleep with this "excuse" and enjoy you sex life? Be a man! Understand who is pulling the strings in your house (you know, those strings that arise other "things").

Though it's impossible to get their full pardon, you could at least try to. But..

You cannot buy another diamond, because you didn't finish to pay for the last one (what was it for? Ah, whether to invite your friends that weekend or not).

And don’t think about the new car - the three cars (that came into your family because little things like: 1.  you didn't permit her to go alone to the holiday;  2. you suggested that HER daughter will go to different university than  that your wife wanted  3. you forgot your birthday day and tried to say that you did not), those 3 are still in the parking, waiting for your wife to get her license. The only problems that delay her becoming a driver, are a postmen who was courageous enough to come to your house during her driving lessons, three dogs, one little cat, an innocent window-shop and 5 children who showed their good running abilities.

 

Necklace? But what if she recollects that you didn’t want to by that earrings in Majorca?

Earrings? Nope. It is for just smallest disagreements. Not for asking some new dish for the tomorrow dinner.

And all that after the last week's lapsus about your not too much liking the baked potatoes with ketchup. How could you not like it when she perfected it so much in the last eight years? For that, you brought her a week in Barcelona alone to just think about excusing you.

So what?

You take your things  in the suitcase that your wife threw to you from the living room and go out.

You walk to the nearest hotel.

 

On your way there, you pass the florist.

A devious idea sneaks into your head:

Maybe some flowers?

You never tried it before.

However, the urban tales say that it could help.

Could it be just flowers?

You come into the shop and the woman stares at you waiting for your decision.

"I would like some flowers for my wife."

"Of course. What did you do this time?"

"I just need to know to decide what is the most appropriate."

"Argument? I see. Then Tree lilacs with the regret note will be sufficient.

Are you sure that she doesn't know about your lover?

You don't have?

Any sex? I mean neither woman neither man?

Well, then lilacs are not that good enough.

You should show more remorse - we will add those yellow carnations.

Now it is good.

Go and give it to her.

However, leave this suitcase here. Just in case.."

Heeheee!!! This one reminds me of me and my hubby when we were younger. We had an argument, we argued ALL the time, about nothing important. We could even start a fight about the cat.

Okay, one time my hubby packed his suitcase, stormed out of the house, said he was going to leave; he then drove around for a few hours, and then came back home.

After he drove for a few hours, leaving me with the thought of him not coming back; I had the chance to think about how silly the argument had begun. When he got home, nothing was said between us, and the following day we just acted normal, like we've never had the fight.

Perhaps you should apply this method, so your wife would have time to think how silly the fight was about.
