A couple I know have a hilarious and unique agreement for allowing him to have his weekend benders while keeping her happy. Labelled a ‘handbag offence’, he simply pays his way out of the doghouse by buying her a new handbag each time he comes in smashed at 8am. It might be costly but it’s all in the psychology. In her eyes, it’s less ‘can’t buy my love’ and more ‘win-win’ with either a new handbag or her sober and pleasant man-bag. Makes for a less punishing hangover the next day doesn’t it?
Brownie Points P.A memo: Buyer beware – proceed only if she is in agreement. Otherwise, you’ll get the handbag, flowers or other such admission-of-guilt paraphernalia thrown back in your face.
Wow, a handbag every time you have a few extra beers? In her dreams!
