IMO, bakit ako magpapalusot pa? I respect my wife and her wishes. She always knows what's best for me. So if I know na yung mga umaaya sa 'kin eh ayaw nya ang mga character kase possible BI, simple lang: I don't go. My wife doesn't and will never wish me ill so if she asks me if I can't go, then I won't. Now, kung compromised ako, she understands - but I never hide from her whom I'm with kapag may lakad/gimik.
From our 10+ years of marriage, me coming out with a palusot for anything compared to just telling the plain truth always spelled trouble. What to do? Simple: I tell the truth.
