When I asked my father for advice on what a good wife should do this was his reply “ensure a balance of give and take, and in general ensure there is a healthy balance (for example if your husband is stressed by work be sure to organize an afternoon for him to play golf) organizing a balance of socializing and quiet time is best, never ever repeat anything your husband says to you to anyone and most importantly (he emphasized) the most important task for a good wife – be prepared to apologize to others for the dumb things your husband does often”

Every now and then it feels like apologizing to others for the dumb things that people I love a lot do may be my full time task.

So here goes.

Apologies. It wasn’t me. Nor was I involved in that decision.

I do know that (someone) respected and loved some extraordinarily gifted people as much as I do.
