From my experience, and that or many other people I have spoken to, I have formed the opinion that the only good lawyer is one no longer capable of independent respiration.

I am yet to be convinced otherwise.

These random srands of RNA are even resorting to an advertising campaign in Tassie to try and convince us humans that they are not ethicless trash.

I state to you that this is my personal opinion... the one thing I believe I am STILL legally entitled to have.

To answer your question... NEVER.

You may have been forgiven BUT it will not be forgotten.
I get reminded of things I have done from time to time that happened BEFORE we were married !!!!

Its no big deal mate, tell her sincerely, (and mean it, yes mean it,) that you are sorry, and unless she is a person that cant forgive it will be all well.

You will together laugh about this in the near future. we all make stupid decisions, especially with a gut full.

She's over it. It's funny. All is forgiven for this incident, yet she continually brings up some tiny little comment I may have made 4 years ago in passing and can barely remember, yet she latches onto that.

It's almost like men are from Mars and women are from Venus or something...

I'm sure a great many women could live there happily as well

[astro_south (Andrew)]

Geez - sort of glad that I couldn't make it Friday night now mate

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Umm. It's actually all your fault. If you'd have come, I wouldn't have gotten into that mess...

[astro_south (Andrew)]

... what makes you think I would have saved you? You might have ended up in more do-do

[RobF (Rob)]

I'll think you'll find over the next year your spare time during the day, between wife and bub, will drop to precisely zero Troy. There's ALWAYS something you were supposed to be doing.

Once bub starts sleeping reasonably well you should be right for nightime astro though! A lot to be said for having a night-time hobby with a young family....

Dude!!!
No matter WHAT your wife or anyone else says...you are BONED!!!!!
Accept that it will always come back to bite you in the a** and move on.
My wife is still paying for the time she crawled home drunk at 3:30 AM when she was supposed to be back at 9. No phone call. No SMS. Pub crawling with work cronies in Soho.
That was ten 13 years ago and I still get mileage from it.
Alas, your situation is reversed.
Be brave.

Heh, sounds like we've all got a bundle of experience in this matter.

Best way of evening the odds (or so we think)... is to encourage her/them/wifeys/gfs/better-halves to go out and have a girls night every now and then.
Because they NEVER... I mean NEVER arrive home when they say they do... thats if they even give you an ETAHome.
2nd part is they can't hold their liquor, so you're bound to be looking after them that night and the next day.
Those brownies... oh are they so bitterly sweet for years to come.
Theres nothing like "Remember the time I had to hold your hair back all night while you were in prayer to the porcelain god?" to put them back into place.

Or... there is always the reverse-guilt card.
When you do finally get home... make sure its around 8am the next day... they'll be up doing chores already and already in a FUMING mood.
When you walk in make sure you look like you've been mugged, raped, beaten with a fire hydrant, had a dog piss on you because you look like a fire hydrant, blood smears, shirt torn and wallet missing.

And usually these steps follow:
She's pissed off, fuming and about to boil over when she hears you open the front door.
You walk in, her anger immediately turns to confusion.
You spill your story on [insert random dramatic heroic action of a possible charitable nature] *(I like the one about saving an orphanage from being graffittied and trashed by a gang of youths)* and her confusion will turn to sympathetic awe.
Next minute you know, you'll be thru the shower, cooked breakfast on the table, and watching sport on tv all day.

Good as Gold.

Of course that could all completely backfire and she'll backhand you into oblivion.

[Roobi]

As well as backhanding you into oblivion, she'l find out you've lied about that one and never trust you again, or worse... Careful there Anfo

CAUTION: anyone stupid enough to try that is at risk of major repercussions.
