My wife hasn’t talked to me since Monday. She’s mad at me and last night she said we’re not friends anymore. I’m out of ideas. I’m going to offer her cash to be friends again. Wish me luck guys.

    Really? A 10 pound bill? Buy her something truly thoughtful, and symbolic of her skills. Buy her a vacuum cleaner. She’ll love it.

      Yeah, OP, you should definitely offer marriage counseling services. As a twice-divorced guy, I’d certainly sign up.

    Depending on how bad it is, I’d definitely try to pull something like this. Its blunt and funny enough to be a way to start conversation again. It’s not really about the money, it’s a means to engage. Your character and delivery are key, so it’s not a formal attempt, more of a playful attempt.

    I hope it helped!

    Next step. build her a fort in the living room. Tell her it’s just for her, but she may also invite you in to her fort. Give her Fort space, and she may give you Fort company

      hasn’t talked to me since Monday.

      I would normally interpret “we’re not friends” to be joking, but not if it lasts more than a couple minutes. If real, it is the end of the 4th day for OP, going on into the 5th.

      Whatever happened, it wasn’t something good. Offering someone money to like you probably won’t improve one’s social standing. Not to say almost a week of the silent treatment bodes well for problem solving, either.

      Without knowing the full story, @cRazi_man, maybe the two of you should at least think over seeing someone? A lot of couples see it as a last resort, so they end up waiting til there’s basically nothing to save before trying to do something about it. This is…a concern.

      I think it depends on the prior history.

      This is a GOOD idea if he frequently told her “I’d give you my last dollar.”

      This is a BAD idea if his catch-phrase is “they’re cheaper than a 10 dollar ho.”
