I would say Kevin is married.

Matt is not.

cardinalfan? I'm not sure. He may be newly married or else he just doesn't have a freakin' clue about how women think.

I don't have cuffs on my umpire slacks, though all my other "slacks" do.

I think Kevin provided the most pragmatic advice. (I'm married.)

Well I am not married but almost all my friends are. And I can tell you that all men do not have the same problems or communication style with their wives. I do not think you can tell that some are married or not by this conversation.

That being said, honesty is the best policy. Just tell her the truth and that you cannot wear them with the cuffs. Also explain how impractical cuffs are as stated. I really do not see it as a big deal if you have the kind of communication in your marriage that is healthy.

Peace

I am with Jeff on this one. You should be able to tell your wife about this without hurting her feelings. It's a matter of looking professional on the ball field. Doing what Kevin suggested really IS a big hassle, plus it's kind of deceitful. You would be better off thanking your wife for being so thoughtful and willing to help, but in this case the cuffs have to go.
