Here's what is playing out:
Husband: "I need to pawn your wedding ring because we are short. I promise you will get it back next month"
Wife: "OK--if we really need to and if I get it back OK; I'd really rather you sold your third boat instead though."
H: "cannot"
H: "Here's your ring--I TOLD you you'd get it back"
W: "But the stone is only half as big and the band is thinner--it doesn't even look like real gold...in fact, I can't even get it on my finger; it's too small"
H: "It's really a win to have a wedding ring at all and it's what all the folks in Canada are getting their wives--it seems to fit THEM"
How long would this marriage last ?
