Wife mad

[zoriloco]

Ok, so I had a bit to much fun this Saturday, the wife got really mad. in a scale from 1-10, 10 being really really bad, lets say I got a 8. What do you "guys" do to get her to calm down. Besides saying Im sorry, I fawked up.

[HIGHTIMES]

tell her she can egg your jeep, she will feel better after that

[Conrad]

resistance is futile!!

[zoriloco]

hmm I dont think she's gonna go for that. She loves the jeep as much as I do.

[ni0h]

What did you do, buy a jeep upgrade without asking her?

[zoriloco]

yeah right!! Im not in the liberty to say, but like I said in the scale from 1-10 I hit an 8.

[Frank Z]

Buy an assload of tools...she's already pissed.

No Doubt! About 50% of my life is spent in the doghouse, lucky for me I have a barn about 300 feet away from the house- whenever she gets out there she can't remember if that shiney thing is something new or has been there. Where else can you store a fishing boat until Spring and say, "we've had that for while"....

Good luck!

Yeah, If I was still in Guatemala. Here they have rights and $hit. So men are screwed. No ofense to anybody.

I am often in trouble as well. I usually kiss her ass untill we make up one night. Then I know things are back to normal untill I mess up again. I just got off the hook for my last #8 within the last couple of days. Flowers and cards and other stuff is an admission of guilt making the sentence that much longer. I bet your significant other is willing to talk about it ANY time you are both in a room together. So use every oportunity to bring it up untill she is tired of talking about it. Be apologetic admitting how you were wrong and she was right. Then you will be on the road to recovery. my .02 penny's and my recipe for for getting back on her good side.

Nice, I like the part of not letting the matter go so she gets tired of hearing about it.

Nice.

Yes Dear!!

[1BGDOG]

Buy her a gift cert to get a mani/pedi. works often.

[4-rocks]

If it isn't over by tonight walk into the bed room and start dressing in your best clothes. Ask her opinion on what looks good and what doesn't. When she asks what the hell you are doing just say I'm get laid tonight and I want to look good.

[MountainJeep]

ahh marital bliss..

I too am in the dog house. We have a mutual friend from high school who was an exchange student from Norway. His host family was my wifes parents. (this was high school people. we weren't married at the time).

Anyways I have seen him once in 20 years and he is coming to Colorado for a family vacation. Right after we received the email from Eyvind, I get an email back from my wife stating that we will not be hosting him , his two girls, and wife, as it will be "to chaotic" at our house.

We are both teachers and have the summer off. Needless to say I am pissed off that my wife would close our house to our friend and his family who are travelling 5,000 or so miles to come see Colorado and us.

So yesterday, my wifes sister brings up the visit and asks if they are staying at our house. well, needless to say I lose my cool and rant and rave about how my wife won't open our house to our friends, and How I am pissed off about it. I go on for about 4 minutes straight asking if that means none of our friends can ever stay at our house? What about family? blah blah blah.

So this morning, she comes into the kitchen, gives me a dirty look, and tells me that she is still mad at me.

Now I am gettin the silent treatment.

I think I will take the boys on a road trip down to Indy and watch some 4wheelin action for the day.

wimins are crazys.

[CLYDE]

:cool: Lots of makeup sex...

[Steve]

:cool: Lots of makeup sex...

Word.

In 31+ years of marriage we've never been that mad at each other. :shrug:

[Yucca-Man]

:cool: Lots of makeup sex......unless this was one of them "Pen/Company Ink" type situations...then ya may be screwed, and not in such a great way. :flipoff2:

[zoriloco]

...unless this was one of them "Pen/Company Ink" type situations...then ya may be screwed, and not in such a great way. :flipoff2:

Nah it aint that type of situation. Like I said I partied to hard on Sat.

[cheftyler]

You went to a tittie bar didn't you?

[LONEWOLF]

Unfortunately you are in the dog house for a bit, she will forgive you but will never forget, and everytime something happens you will be reminded of it. Dang Wimmins

[Clint]

Man, I musta just got lucky or something. Dana gets mad at me, but never holds it against me, or drags it out for days. We have our little spat and its over.

[LONEWOLF]

you are lucky Clint, I still have yet to meet one that doesn't make u jump through hoops for a bit.

[Whitey]

Nah it aint that type of situation. Like I said I partied to hard on Sat.

If that's all ya did, give it time and act puppy dogged whipped when you're around her. Lots of kiss ass too with 'yes dear' answers. Flowers are good cause she'll see em sitting in the vase and it'll soften her heart slightly over time. If she tosses em in the trash, then, she's more pissed than ya realize, make yourself scarce.

Now, if there were another female involved in the 'partying too hard', then you're screwed & there's no hope. :flipoff2:

[Alpine Spirit]

You went to a tittie bar didn't you?

And you have experience for the dog house situation here huh.... LOL!! :flipoff2:

Seriously though it sounds like you were out at the Grizzly Rose and then later ended up somewhere else!!!! LOL

[ni0h]

Does that really happen?

No, no, nothing related to other women. But all of it is good advice. hopefully everything goes back to normal tonight.

[shotgunchris]

Ask her what you can do to make right with her. Opening the lines of communication should relieve most of the tension.

[jtw2]

If all you did was party too hard and it isn't a regular thing then just ignore her while she's mad. Soon as they find out it's a game you stop playing they don't play it. Women can't stand it if they think you don't care.

[CherryokeeXJ]

Must've been pretty bad considering you're keeping the topic so vague. "Partying too hard" generally doesn't get you the dog house for days at a time. At least not in our household.

Coming from a woman, I will give you your best plan of action. Try to be loving. Like give her a hug from nowhere, and if she pushes you away, put a hand on each of her shoulders, look her straight in the eye, and say,

"Look, I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry for that. I've apologized, and beyond that I'm not sure what you want me to do. I feel like shit about what I did, but since none of that is helping our sitation, it's up to you now to tell me what I have to do for you to forgive me. I love you and I don't want our time together to be spent this way."

Works on me every time when I'm being stupid and not letting things be.

[Snotty]

Ask her if she wants a divorce, if not, tell her to move along and get over it.


I got damn lucky with mine. Takes a lot to piss her off, and she is usually over it pretty quickly.

Women that get mad and stay mad are usually control freaks who take it upon themselves to change your ways through force. Been there, done that, not worth the price anymore...

Otherwise suck it up, grovel and beg for forgiveness.

[Alpine Spirit]

"Look, I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry for that. I've apologized, and beyond that I'm not sure what you want me to do. I feel like shit about what I did, but since none of that is helping our sitation, it's up to you now to tell me what I have to do for you to forgive me. I love you and I don't want our time together to be spent this way."



Printing this out and putting it in my wallet for when I really screw up. :D Thats like having a couple of aces up your sleeve in poker!!

Anything to help.

[sweater]

"Look, I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry for that. (Especially since it took you to point it out.) I've apologized, and beyond that I'm not sure what you want me to do. (But would love it if makeup sex would work, 'cause you look HOT when you're mad.) I feel like shit about what I did, (okay, not really - it was hella fun!) but since none of that is helping our sitation, it's up to you now to tell me what I have to do for you to forgive me. (Again - makeup sex, anyone?) I love you and I don't want our time together to be spent this way. (I would rather spend it in bed with you.)"

At least I read it like that.

Funny part? It's worked for me before. :thumbsup:

Yes Dear!!

lmao! perfect!

Just pout and snuggle up to her and use babytalk, she'll be so disgusted she'll forget about why she was pissed off in the first place. then, you'll have garage time because your baby talk will force her to make you go outside to the garage and be a man.

[CLYDE]

Does that really happen?sometimes, but the older I get the less i care about the mad, she gets in my face, and I bring up all the stuff ive been saving up, it usually humbles whatever little thing she is mad about.

[DaJudge]

My standard advice to grooms at weddings, "Learn to say, 'Whatever you say, my darling' and 'Whatever makes you happy, plumb tickles me to death.'" You don't have to really mean it, just learn to say it, and life will be good! ;)

She eventually stopped the car and hit him with the air bag, police said.

Man, I musta just got lucky or something. Dana gets mad at me, but never holds it against me, or drags it out for days. We have our little spat and its over.

Me too. And there is nothing like spending a year apart to make all the little crap come into prespective.

"Look, I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry for that. I've apologized, and beyond that I'm not sure what you want me to do. I feel like shit about what I did, but since none of that is helping our sitation, it's up to you now to tell me what I have to do for you to forgive me.

Printing this out and reading it over her shoulder will get you moved from the dog house to sleeping at the end of the drive. You muse memorize it.

:lmao: seriously? i would have loved to have seen that... :thumbsup:

Me too.

My advice: Every woman is different. My ex would not stop until we had had a knock down drag out dredge up everything each had done over the entire time we had known each other. I tried every trick I could come up with to avoid the fights where the only thing accomplished was both of us hurting each other as much as we could, but it was just her personality. It is funny to talk to my daughter and see that her new husband is having the same problems I had.

My current wife is a wonderful example of the perfect woman, and when we fight, it is usually short and to the point. We ID the problem, come up with solutions, and implement them.

[cheftyler]

That only lasted the 20 minutes it took to drive home, then she was fine :flipoff2:

thread winnar

[ZooMad75]

I've learned a few things from being married. First off there are times when my wife is willing to argue and others she is so mad at me she can't speak and wants to be left alone. In the times where she wants to argue I've found clamming up and not falling into the trap the best method. It make look like giving up, but it's using the female mental arsenal back at them. I say I'm sorry that I screwed up and then say I don't feel like aguing about it. Sometimes I think it pisses her off more, but it does work to diffuse the situation. On the other occasions where I really pissed her off and she can't stand to speak to me about it, I give her the space she wants. Back when we first got married I was stupid enough to think I could accomplish somehthing by not letting her be alone and forcing the discussion. BAD IDEA! Allowing some cool off time lets us both get into a mode where we can discuss things rationally and with far less emotion.

Like Bud said, each one is different so your results may vary. But for me it's worked as it will be 12 years this may for us. Plus we get into far less big fights than we did first starting out. I still do stupid stuff from time to time, just less frequency and deal with the aftermath much better.

[trucruiser]

So if it aint another woman or tittie bar, I am assuming you dabbled into some drugs she dont approve of.
Just tell her you are sorry and you will never dabble into that again, it was a huge mistake, you realize it and you are trully sorry. Tell her you are a dumb shit multiple times, They like when we are down on ourselves.

[Carrie]

Punch me if that will make you feel better.

I wouldn't recommend that line.:rolleyes:

tell her she said " for better or for worse" and then tell her to cook you something!!!! lol, but really if she was with you then nothin would have happened, so really its her fault...lol

Buy her a Jeep. Make sure it is a fixer-up so you can buy lots of new tools to build out "her" project.

Get her drunk, allow her to do something stupid, then forgive her.

Nah i havent hit rock bottom yet. jajajajaa

[zoriloco]

She's expecting a baby no drinking allowed. I think thats why she got mad, cause she cant party and I can.

[jtw2]

is it bad that after 16 years I just don't care if the wif is mad at me?

[LONEWOLF]

Well that splains it. She is pregnant so it may just be the emotions, she is the one pregnant not you so I don't know why you can't drink. Wimmens, they need to be sent to an island when they are in that state, come back when its over :shrug:

[Bustin' Loose]

Hell, it is a wonder any of you are still married if this is the best you can do.

The yes Dear comments are insulting. Don't patronize me.

If you screwed up...admit it, apologize and if need be, let her vent.

If it is a difference of opinion and you don't think you screwed up, do you best to hash it out and find out what she thinks is okay/not okay; what you think is okay/is not okay and find someplace in the middle. Not always easy but if you keep the accusations to a minimum and the "always/never" statements to a minimum and focus on how the actions make each of you feel you should be able to get somewhere.

And if she is so ticked off that she can't stand to look at you without wanting to beat you senseless - give her space till she can string two coherent words together without calling you a flaming asshole.

And this works both ways btw. Woman can be just as stupid, just in different ways.

[Boogie]

She is pregnant. No other reason needed then that. I have 3 kids and I know i spent the better part of each pregnancy either apologizing or being in trouble. No rhime or reason, no fixing it, nothing you could have done better.

1st preg: Wife was fairly normal with just a hint of crazy.
2nd preg: Really weird cravings and cried all the time.
3rd preg: She was possessed by Satan. I hid alot and had lots of work meetings.

You can't win now. Just say you are sorry and get her her pickle flavored ice cream.

[jtw2]

Hell, it is a wonder any of you are still married if this is the best you can do.

Of course it is from the female perspective. I do "have the vaginahs" as you so eloquently pointed out. Isn't that the best perspective to take it from since it was "the wife" that was ticked off? Who better to know what works/doesn't work than another woman?
