Oh, get a sense of humor. The majority of us male participants love our
wives and have tremendous respect for them. However, it's an age-old
problem of how to get a spouse/partner to participate in yet one more
continuation of your personal indulgence. I go through the same thing when
my wife wants to convince me that she needs yet ANOTHER dog (we now have 7
dogs, but only 1 B).
If it had been a wife trying to convince her husband she needed another B,
I'd probably give the same answer.
Sheesh.
