Dear Prudence,
My wife wants a pair of jeans by Dolce & Gabbana. When I found out they cost around $1,200 each, I told her if I was going to pay that kind of money for a pair of jeans, I expected a hot chick to be in them. Now she’s furious with me. I was just making a joke! Is buying the jeans my only way back into her good graces?
