We hope he was forgiven!
We sense that this guy is about to get into a heated dispute! And who was to blame but his spouse? It goes without saying that heat and plastic cutting boards are unsuitable. Stoves are also not exactly affordable.
Other than saying “sorry honey,” this guy had better have a better plan. We recommend offering to pay for some tasty takeout in the evening and giving a gift card. If she wants a new stove, he must, of course, pay for it.
