The Official "How To Explain To The Wife Thread"

[Montsta]

So I raced home from work telling my wife I couldn't stop and get dog food or milk because this (MNF Vs. The Bucs) was the biggest regular season game The Cats have had. Now, only 2 weeks later, I'm going to be spitting that same line when they play the Giants and she wants me to mow the lawn.

I know I'm not alone on this, anyone have suggestions on how to explain that the Giants game is really the biggest regular season game now? This is gonna take a lot of Saturday Honey-Do list completion I suppose.

Tie her up and lock her in a closet and don't let her out until football season is over.

lol, I don't get that dynamic at all, never have.

maybe use an analogy featuring something she really loves to do?

Good call. I'll explain that it is like the Sale of the year at Macy's, only to have an even bigger sale of the year at Nordstrom's 2 weeks later. Very good call fireball...

[Fireball77]

Good luck Monsta...let us know how it works...(make sure you use her weakness too...like SHOE sale, etc. )

[PantherDude]

Hmm.......how about you make her dominated over you few times during sex. Then maybe she might not care what you're doing on the same day Panthers play against the Giants.

Where do you live that you're mowing the lawn?

Where do you live that you're mowing the lawn in December, or did you mean you had to "mow the lawn", if you smell what I'm cookin'?

[Nicbsbll2]

It's all very simple...get a new wife.

[Nicbsbll2]

or better yet...a new job.

And the game is a night game, what kind of wife would make her husband mow the lawn at night?

[Doc Holiday]

I would tell her that this next weeks game is just as big, but ti would have been meaningless without this weeks.

Start being a man.

Get her a copy of this so she can start to understand football http://www.amazon.com/Your-Damn-Beer-Watching-Game/dp/B000SOVC7S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228957627&sr=1-1

If that doesn't work do what I did to my husband. (Insert favorite...)

My husband is a die hard UNC basketball fan. He called me crazy when I stayed in bed for 2 days after the Panthers lost the Super Bowl. I proceeded to torture him every time UNC lost the following season. Now he is well trained. Empathy CAN be learned!
