It is never women who have so pissed their husbands off so badly that they are in the doghouse. Why is this? Is is because men are naturally pricks and women aren’t? Or is it because men are quicker to forgive and forget.
So, what ya done?
In my house my husband is usually in the doghouse because I’ll ask him to do a task and he forgets to do it. When he asks me to do something, I will always get it done.
But, I’ve been in the doghouse a few times too.
That’s so not true. You don’t know how many times I’ve turned to one of my kids and said, “Your father’s gonna killl me!”
It’s usually like dragongirl said: I’ve failed to do something he asked me to do. But I’ve always thought I have more “guy” qualities than “girlie” ones.
For the same reason that the Maryland Ren Faire has a jeweler that calls itself ‘Guilt and Lust’.
Or Grandma Godai tells Yusaka, “Apologize, Yusaku. You know it’s always you who’s wrong.”
Nothin’ recently. I was just occured to me while reading another thread.
It’s simple, galen, it’s because we ARE dogs. For proof of this, I refer you to this thread 
Cuz men get caught.
The doghouse isn’t too bad, just stay away from the Big House (not Biggirl’s house - that’s okay). I always heard that women were sent to the cat house 
ooooh, that’s not true at all! I’m in the doghouse WAY more than Mr. Athena is. I love him dearly and accept all his faults and rarely get mad at him. He, on the other hand, gets offended if I look at him in the wrong way, say something to him with the wrong inflection, or somehow start ‘acting weird’ in ways he can’t quite describe. He just knows I’m acting weird. Invariably, this ends up with me in the doghouse for a few days.
Me, being an angel, patiently waits until he’s no longer mad at me, all the while doing little favors for him and kissing him on the cheek until he melts from my constant charm and affection. 'tain’t I just the perfect wifey?
(rofl! but really, I am in the doghouse much more than he is!)
Not much can make me forget my husband’s recent trangressions, but his mind seems to be erased by the simple act of me showing him affection. If a kiss doesn’t work, B.J.s will.
Also, If I am going to concede an argument, I tend to do it so quickly, and sincerely that he forgets we disaggreed. I’ve not known any man to quickly surrender on any points and do so with sincerity. Also I found out early on that if I do forgive him quickly, he makes the assumption that what he did was not that bad and so does it again.
