Your wife is more important than your coworker or your networking opportunity. I would try to convince your wife otherwise but sometimes your job has to take one for the real team.

You're going to sound like a jerk no matter what you tell them.

You got hit in the nuts with a softball last night and have to go to the doctor

Okay but which doctor? Who handles that?

You should go.

Absolutely. Could reap dividends but the reasons for missing are fleeting.

Go. If your wife doesn't want to go, hire somebody to go with you.

Get your wife to go with you

I think you'd regret not going, no matter what excuse you come up with.

Go. You don't make commitments to people and back out of them for those kinds

You need to go - It will be really poor form not too. Have to play the Long game

You need to go. That's all there is to it.

She's not dying. She doesn't want to go because it's inconvenient.

Have an issue with the word "need"

It's not about "choosing the wife over the job."

garyfan

What about commitment to the wife?

2FarGone

8/28/15 11:04am

Do marital commitments mean that you have to bend to every whim of your spouse?

Virginia Ute

8/28/15 11:10am

Yes. Wait, this is only the wife catering to the husband, right?

What about the wife's commitment to her husband?

I agree with this. Why is it that in so many Mormon marriages, it seems like

That is exactly the attitude that the wife needs to have

2FarGone

I vehemently disagree. Very lucky to have married a wife that doesn't need to

CougarBacker

8/29/15 9:43am

Weird. You and I are saying the same thing.

Apologies. I mis-read your original post.

CougarBacker

I don't understand what the commitment to the wife would be in this case.

CougarBacker

Too late. Not wanting to go isn't good enough anymore.

Man, I would love to take my wife out for a nice dinner like that tonight.

CougarBacker

So, did you end up going?

Alister Mackenzie

Mrs. Rev stayed home. I went and had a great time.
