The misunderstanding of women

Older guy is marked off limits to a room by his wife. It's been this way for years and it is specifically HER room and he's not permitted to enter. Guy agrees. Guy goes into the room to get a hairdryer that he needs later on that evening. Without asking the wife first. Wife is pissed. Guy doesn't understand why but keeps his mouth shut anyway until he knows she's calmed down and he can apologize.

Can we say slap upside the head and a round of applause for the guy.

I had to explain why his wife was mad because he told me he didn't get it. He went in grabbed the hairdryer and basically ran out of the room. Tsktsktsk. Those few seconds now cost him anger by his wife. Here's a tip : you make a promise. Keep it. Very simple. Oh and some additional info. She will be even more mad at you if she finds out that you didn't need the item right away and you had time to ask her for it instead of just doing it.

I must give him credit though. Instead of following through with an argument he kept his mouth shut. Very VERY smart man. He's waiting until everything has calmed down. Then he's going to decide if he should bring it up and talk about it or just let it go. Maybe that's why they've been together for so long.

I say go with flowers. Nothing elaborate maybe some daisies. Simple yet to the point. Oh and an apology.
