Returning To The Doghouse

Some guys never learn, we can understand getting sent to the doghouse for something unexpected, or where you had the most innocent of intentions but some people just keep getting sent to the doghouse time and time again.

Recently, we talked about getting into the doghouse and showed you a great commercial that we didn't make.

Click Here to watch the first video.

Well, there is a follow up with Return To The Doghouse.

Watch as the guys try to escape the doghouse after doing such crazy things like buying his wife a doll for Christmas, (it did look just like her);

Buying a beer making kit..won't make her like beer...

A paper shredder or hammer drill appear to be out of the question as well.

And we certainly don't recommend proposing marriage while watching your girlfriend on the lat machine at the gym.

 

5 Ways To Get Out Of The Doghouse

It is never fun, being sent to the doghouse but if you are in a relationship then it is almost a sure-thing that you will end up there eventually.  You might forget her birthday, perhaps you will miss an anniversary or get drunk and embarrassing at her sister's wedding, buy her a moustache waxer or comment on how good her mother looks in a bikini.

The reason won't matter, at some stage you are going to screw up and you'll end up in the doghouse.

So once you are there you will have time to think about your crimes and come up with the best way to get out of the doghouse and make your suffering as brief and painless as possible.

You'll have to put in a bit of effort, nothing that is good is ever easy but if you man up and admit that you were wrong you just might get back in her good books.

5. Have a conversation, and listen
When you start getting the cold shoulder you won't be out of the doghouse until she starts talking again.  Encourage her to get whatever is upsetting her, off her chest.  Don't just keep asking what is wrong, take a guess and even if your wrong it might help you ignite the conversation.  If she is not expecting it then it will be a pleasant surprise.

4. Try to make her laugh
This one won't always work, it will really depend on how much trouble you have gotten yourself into and has been know to increase doghouse time!  However it is a good way to get an indication of how mad she is and perhaps a little humour may defuse the situation.

3. Buy her flowers
Buying flowers for your lady is one of the tried and tested methods that have been used to get out of the doghouse by men for generations.  You need to get the timing right though, don't send them straight after you've screwed up, it might look like you're trying to buy your way out of the doghouse.  For maximum effect, wait until you have got one foot out of the doghouse and use it to seal the deal.  You could even send them to her work or office so she can revel in the attention from her workmates.

2. Cook her dinner
One of the most foolproof ways to get out of the doghouse is by surprising her with your culinary skills.  Even if she is raging mad eating can release pleasurable hormones in the brain and you might even get the chance to strike up a conversation.

1. Say "I'm Sorry"
In the end, nothing can beat a genuine apology. An honest "I'm Sorry" can work with any of the other ways to get out of the doghouse but just make sure you mean it.  Look her in the eye and admit that you were wrong or that your actions upset her.  Specify exactly what you are sorry for so you can be sure that she'll understand you.

Bedroom Golf - Making Up After The Doghouse

While it is never enjoyable to be in the doghouse, they do say that making up is fun.

If you like golf and enjoy making up with your partner then try a round of bedroom golf.

Here are the rules:

1. The player will furnish his own equipment for play, normally one club and two balls.
2. Owner of the course must approve equipment before play may begin.
3. Unlike regular golf, the object of the game is to get the club in the hole, while keeping the balls out.
4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft.  The course owner may check the stiffness of the shaft before allowing play to commence.
5. Course owner reserves the right to restrict the shaft length so as to avoid damage to the course.
6. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as possible, until the course owner is satisfied.
7. Players are cautioned to play the correct hole, as indicated by the course owner.
8. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arriving at the course.  Experienced players will admire the course, paying special attention to the well formed bunkers.
9. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played recently, to the owner of the course being played.
10. If the course to be played is temporarily under repair, the player is advised to find alternate means to play.
11. It is considered outstanding form to play the hole several times in one match.
12. Course owner shall be the judge of who is the best player.
13. It is considered bad form to reveal your score to other players; or even that you have played the course.

If you have any other rules you like to play by, please share them in the comments.
