Pretty Mild Mild Bad Very Bad Practically Unforgiveable Getting out the Dog House Funny thing is, when we asked our girl friends how they got out the dog house with their menfolk, the answers were all pretty similar, and they all have that one sussed. 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 misdemeanour scale, and then see how our suggestions go for you.
Forgotten to pick up milk/dry cleaning/dinner? Thankfully, fairly minor offences so a good apology, plus going back for the offending items, and then maybe something fun or even nice, just to say really sorry.
Put a red sock in with the white washing or boil washed her hand wash by mistake? Difficult one, given that you were obviously trying to be helpful, but you're still going to have to make amends. Now you can either just replace what's gone pink/shrunk beyond all belief, or you could upgrade it to a much more luxurious version of the original. If it already was a luxury item, then you'll have to upgrade the apology, and we suggest you go straight to good jewellery. Diamonds preferably.
Been out on too many boys nights out in row? 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 organise dinner for her and her girlfriends. Which will not only get you brownie points with your beloved, but one up on all the other guys in your circle of friends. Or maybe that might be former friends!
Forgotten her birthday/your wedding anniversary/birth of your first child? Okay, you're in fairly serious trouble now. These are really bad offences, and you know it. Bet you've been getting the silent treatment, or possible the very loud shouting, throwing of china treatment. First, you are going to have to apologise. A lot. And very sincerely. And then not only turn out an amazing birthday/anniversary/well done on getting through labour present but also a big sorry present too. Don't wince, but it's probably going to be expensive.
You slept with her sister/mother/best friend Oh dear, you probably don't need us to tell you that you are beyond our help. You could try all of the above, but we think it's probably a little late for this. Try these instead.
