MOI XOXO

Funny thing is, when I asked other girl friends how they got out the dog house with their women, the answers were all pretty similar. But, as we know, women are a funny lot, and somewhat more complex. So, if you are here and you’re already in bother, or at least you will be when she finds out, then you need to work out where you are on the misdemeanor scale. Let’s see if my dear friend Bre’s suggestions on the video go for you! Or read moi’s below!

Forgotten to pick up milk/dry cleaning/dinner? Thankfully, these sorts of things are fairly minor offenses so a good apology, plus going back for the offending items goes a long way. Unless you do them on really regular basis, in which case you need something, or someone, to do some serious memory prompting with you. Pick up something fun or even just nice for her. It doesn’t have to be something expensive, in fact expensive is probably going to have the reverse effect. She might think you’ve done something even more wrong than you are admitting to!

Been out on too many girls or bois night out? Best to repay this one with some girly time to herself, or doing something really nice for her, like making dinner or breakfast in bed. Or you could organize dinner for her and her girlfriends. First things first, send her off for to a day spa for some pure indulgence, with nothing to do but relax. Treat her to a top to toe pamper day, and preferably for her and a friend. This is not going to be cheap, you’ll make the day even better for her by having someone to gossip with and enjoy the treatments and relaxation. So, while she is out getting all relaxed, you can create the perfect dinner. Just try not to trash the kitchen while you do it, otherwise the relaxing effect of the day, and the brownie points that go with it, will be gone in a moment.

Forgotten her birthday/wedding anniversary/birth of your first child? Okay, you’re in fairly serious trouble now. These are really bad offenses, and you know it. Bet you’ve been getting the silent treatment, or possible the very loud shouting, throwing of plates treatment. So first, you are going to have to apologize. A lot. And then not only produce an amazing birthday/anniversary/well done on getting through labor present but also a big sorry present too. Make this gift expensive. I recommend diamonds to get out of the doghouse quick card. This is a monopoly game, go to a good jeweler and quick. Do not skimp, and do not pass go until you are bearing sparkling gifts.

You slept with her sister/mother/best friend Oh dear, you probably don’t need me to tell you that you are beyond my help. You could try all of the above, but I think it’s probably a little late for this. Might I suggest a good divorce lawyer or, if there is a hint of a possibility that she might forgive you, search the yellow pages for a good marriage counselor.
