Wife won't let me is a pathetic excuse.If they actually wanted to go, they would

BYUtka

8/12/17 12:36pm

So do guys use this as an excuse not to do stuff?

TNT

8/12/17 12:38pm

Yup. 99.9% of the time it is a lie/exaggerated half truth.

BYUtka

8/12/17 12:41pm

I blame my wife when it's something I don't want to do.

You are either single or don't have small children. I have 3, 3 and under. This

I have 8 kids under 15 and make it to every home game. 3 is no excuse.

Coug98

What about League City Stake?

1-Wing RCAF

8/12/17 8:26pm

Those husbands are to blame

JOPE

8/12/17 12:44pm

On the flip side, the husband is to blame because he doesn't pull through

Geldir

8/12/17 1:04pm

Most of the time the wife is just using the husband as an excuse.

BYUtka

8/12/17 1:17pm

Yikes. How do people function in marriages like that?

Zak

8/12/17 12:44pm

The marriage isn't really like that. They just say that so they can stay home to

I believe that for some of them, probably even most, but I also know people

Seriously tho, be a man and say fine, I'm going without you.

Y4LYFE

8/12/17 12:57pm

Talk directly to their wives and watch how much they enjoy their husband blaming

BYUtka

I support this, but...

As long as both parties know they are free to live their lives, and the resource

shakinbaker

Easy fix: flowers, fancy date night, dishes, and manage the kids.
