Hi all,
Screw politics. There has always been a bigger war in the background. The casualties number to the million and it does’t look like it’s going to slow down. Hence, my guide to surviving… YOUR WOMAN.
Ok, you got the chick, she’s great but you have to learn to keep her happy. Here are some typical issues that crop up. p.s. I’ll be doing this occasionally so don’t expect a bloody list now!
Shoes - A woman can never have enough. Never. Don’t try to argue. Just don’t. You can’t stop her buying shoes. You can however, regulate the frequency that she buys. You can utilize the guilt scenario, or the opportunity cost scenario. For example.
“Sweetie, do you think I should get this pair of patent black heeled peep toe Aldo shoes?”
Safe yet effective responses are
“Umm, didn’t you like just buy a pair two days ago?”
“If you get these, what about the handbag that you’re saving for?”
“Hmm, not sure, how about the other color * (ensure that color stated is out of stock or not available)?”
“How’s that credit card debt coming along?”
There ya go. The last one in super risky as it might keep you dry for a week. But, it keeps the shoe buying habit to a minimal for at least 1.5 weeks. So it’s pretty much up to you.
Nic… out.
