I need advice from the married men on TNET

My wife is hungry and wants us to go out to dinner tonight (we had to skip lunch today). The BBall game is on at 5:00 pm.
Now those married folk on here that there is no frickin way my wife will let me sit in front of the computer screen and watch the Duke game (I am in the country Colombia, so it's not on TV).
What advice can you guys give me to help me delay getting in the taxi?

Ever seen Bill Burr's opinion on what makes women happy? It's a worthwhile Google search.

I really like that outfit but maybe try that other one I like....
And see how many times I can get away with it. She's Colombian, so that stuff really works!

Go eat dinner with your wife and check updates on your phone. The adage, happy wife, happy life is always right. Sorry not the answer you wanted to hear.

But definitely the best answer no doubt.

Tell her you are ordering her a Michael Kors purse but really you will be on your phone watching the game.
When it is time to give her the purse, tell her it got lost in the mail and the USPS is investigating your claim. It buys you time to really order one later.

go to her favorite restaurant like we had planned so I get to stick around the TV .... but she does want me to do the cooking during the game time. Oh well, that is better than not seeing it at all.

My wife likes sports....

Loves Clemson where she grad from (and the Gators where I went to school--I grew up a Tiger fan).
I don't have this issue; many times we sit at bars so we can watch sports and usually get better service. I had a guy at a UF/LSU tailgate one time ask me how I got my wife to attend so many games when most wives won't do that...and I said we just enjoy hanging with each other and she enjoys the games as well. I guess I'm lucky that way....
As far as your situation....I know this prob. won't work...but just be honest and say you really want to see this game and ask if its OK if you keep an eye on the game (on the computer) while at dinner. Maybe my situation is different, but I find cutting through the games and just being upfront usually gets me what I want faster without the entanglements... Plus if you are able to get her to be OK with it now, it'll help in the future when you need to do this again. I got a buddy in Jax whose wife literally makes him do "honey-do lists" just to attend games. Hard for me to watch him dictated to like that. Sorry for ramble..

Tell her she's looking a little heavy and maybe ya'll shouldn't go for dinner tonight and should just skip the meal.
Wait.... not sure where you live; here its supposed to be cold and wouldn't be a good night to be sleeping out on the yard. Bad advice....please ignore!

Tell her she looks fat and needs to change her outfit. Guaranteed you'll get to watch the game.

Happy wife, happy life isn't a premise I buy into. Get a divorce, buy some lotion and have a little 5 on 1.
You will not miss any games going forward.

PBT you had to come to Tigernet for advice on this??? Apparently you have zero oral skills at all. It works every time.

Next time, pre-plan ahead. Buy two frozen pizzas and cook them when you want them.
