I don’t understand why men always capitulate to their wives.
Always? not even close. Its just that arguing over purchasing something as cheap as a 130 bucks is not worth it especially when we spend so little on non-essentials.
When she started talking about purchasing a new car, I would not relent. I've owned one new car in my life and unless I get to a point where money is never a concern (like winning a multimillion dollar lottery jackpot) I will never buy a new automobile again. Its just not worth the outlay of capital.
She believes these gadgets will be fun and we will use them alot. Me I use a laptop and love it. I can't for the life of me see where this gadget will replace my laptop. But hey if she gets a bit of enjoyment out of it then who am I to squelch it.
“I don’t understand why men always capitulate to their wives.”
Which would explain your name.
It is simpler than listening to the whining.
Same reason why my bride lets me buy books and a rifle every once in a while. The cost is less than seeing me drool at the gun shop or book store.
You can be right, or you can be happy :-)
Because it just isn't worth the stress. With a guy you can tell him to get over it and a day later he'll still be your best bud. Women don't ever forget.
"Always" is a bit strong. We have a nice simple rule for harmony in the kevkrom house -- she makes all of the small decisions, and I make the big ones. And in 14 years, amazingly, we haven't had a big decision yet...
As my father told me..."son once you're married you have a choice to make. From now on you can chose to be happy or you can chose to be right. You can't be both"
