Four married men decided to spend a day fishing together. As they cast their lines, the conversation naturally turned to the sacrifices they had made to be there.
The first man spoke up, saying, “You guys have no idea what I had to do to make it today. On Saturday, I promised my wife I’d paint the entire house.” The others nodded, sympathizing with the struggle of balancing plans with their spouses.
The second man chimed in, eager to top the first. “That’s nothing,” he said. “I promised my wife I’d build her a new deck by the pool. She’s been wanting it for years, so bringing her fishing was the only way to keep that promise.”
The third man wasn’t about to be outdone. “Both of you had it easy,” he declared. “I told my wife I’d completely remodel the kitchen for her! It’s a huge project, but I couldn’t miss this fishing trip with you guys.”
As the three continued their banter, they turned to the fourth man, who had remained silent. Curiosity got the better of them, and they asked, “So, what did you have to promise to be here?”
With a sly grin, the fourth man finally spoke. “Well,” he said, “I didn’t promise anything. I just set my alarm for 5:30, turned it off when it rang, gave my wife a little nudge, and asked, ‘Fishing or something else?’” Pausing for effect, he added, “She told me, ‘Put on a sweater.’”
The group erupted in laughter at his clever workaround. Sometimes, the simplest approach is the most effective.

I made the decision to assist her despite our past. I took Kevin to court and proposed that she live into my lake house. A letter disclosing his requests and cautioning him against harassment was drafted by my attorney.
