Row with the missus

[The Blur]

I knew a topic of this nature would eventually pop up on Foxestalk one day!

 

[SecretPro]

She could have deliberately kicked the paint over and sprayed it around the room with a supersoaker and it would still be your fault pal. 

[Parafox]

This is a very unexpected but brilliant thread. 

 

What can you do next to generate such amusement? 

 

Accidentally set her tampons on fire whilst trying to light the log burner. Then she'd really be hormonally angry.

Don’t bring the past, it’s an oar point…

[MPH]

 

On a serious note, there is your version of events, her version of events, and the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. It’s really hard for us to declare Her at  fault without hearing her version of events..

The relationship difficulties are probably rooted in her thinking that you have a tendency to look down on her 

[Raj]

You will not win.

Just take the blame and you will continue to be married.

 

It WAS her fault though.

[Mike Oxlong]

Ditch her and find a new partner who always shuts their paint tins.

[grth2004]

Just take the blame if you want jiggy jiggy again

Happy wife happy life. It's your fault, it's always your fault.

[Free Falling Foxes]

It really is quite simple, I assume you've not been married too long to realise this.

If you had left the open tin of paint in a darkened room and she had kicked it over then, quite obviously, it would have been your fault.

It therefore follows that if she left a open tin of paint in a darkened room and you you kicked it over, then it is your fault.

 

You need to also bare in mind that this incident and any other misdemeanours over the coming years, will be recalled to use against you as and when she feels it is necessary.

Right who's at fault here....

 

We've been decorating and the missus was furniture painting her dressing table upstairs in her dressing room. I went in this evening tp put something back in there and turned the light on, (the light switch is a little way into the room), as i turn the light on i turn and kick over a tin of paint that was left with the lid off and goes everywhere....

 

I havent said its her fault and she said yeah it was yours  i said in my defence who leaves an open tin of paint on the floor in the middle of the room. Well she's gone off saying i always turn it round on her again i'v said im not saying its your fault but its not mine either haha

 

Nothing like a good old fishing line thrown to the public to see some opinions...so lets hear them

Enjoyed reading some of these they've made me laugh.

 

She made me a good coffee early this morning so not all bad

Awaiting the laxatives to take effect.

Many years ago, after a row with my then girlfriend, I complained to an older male colleague that she was being 'unfair'. He responded by advising me that talking about 'fairness' to a woman is akin to talking to them in a foreign language they don't understand. Men, he told me, tend to look at the 'facts' of an incident and try to muster an argument based on that, but often this just aggravates the situation. Women understand how they feel about something - much better than we do - and are less concerned with facts. If you want to avoid unnecessary aggravation, it always helps to think about how your wife/girlfriend might feel rather than regaling them with a list of facts that prove you're right (as I have found to my cost on many occasion...) 

[FoxesDeb]

I've been talking to my husband about this, and we've agreed that if we were in the same situation and he'd kicked it over, it would have been his fault and I'd have told him he should have looked where he was going. However if he'd left it out and I'd kicked it over I would have told him he should have put the lid on, and it would be his fault. 

 

So yes, it's your fault 

[Spudulike]

Not worth getting emultional about. 

[Aus Fox]

Only one way to solve this, you need to leave an open tin of paint in a position where she can kick it over. Then sit back and wait for her reaction… only then will we see who was right this time.

The cox always takes the blame in this situation too?

You shouldn't have satin judgement; you can't just gloss over these things.

[GingerrrFox]

Tell her you are sorry for kicking the paint tin over and you will get it sorted, however she needs to take responsibility for leaving an open paint tin, on the floor, in a dark room. If she can’t deal with that, leave her to stew on it. Don’t back down, loads of my mates live a miserable life for always bowing down to their other half.

I'd be tempted to gloss over the paint-spillage incident.

These things take turpen-time. Can't just brush it off.
