I’m a big believer in “happy wife happy life”. I follow it daily on every little detail—what to eat, TV, how to decorate, recreational choices, etc., etc., but when it comes to a game, I’d simply prepare. I’d take extra clothes to ensure her comfort and safety. If she was just using that as an excuse to not go, then I’d simply find her another entertainment alternative, and go by myself or with a friend. See, that whole selfish manipulation stuff is foreign to me and my wife. She compromises for me too.
