Short monologue (speaker A) arguing that spouses—specifically wives—often say "no" to requests as a test of commitment. The speaker claims repeated broken promises (e.g., committing to work intensely for three years and failing) erode trust with both wives and children and become embedded in family patterns. The tone is admonitory and cautionary.

Wives are trained to tell you no. Hey, babe, I need to buy this. Oh, no, I think that's a bad idea. They're always going to tell you no. The reason why they're going to tell you no is because they want to see how badly you really want it. How many times have you ever done something else? For example, and you said, hey babe, I'm going to work for three years and I'm going to kick ass and I'm just going to give it all I've got. I'm going to invest all of my time, I'm going to get really, really good. I'm going to prove myself and I'm going to go and I'm going to Give me three years. You take care of the kids. The kids are only three years old. By the time they're six, they won't even remember. I'm going to be, I'm going to spend all my time there. And then you go three years later. Your kids are not three years old, they're six years old now. Your bank account hasn't grown. And then you're the same. You've broken the commitment. Then you wonder why your wife doesn't trust you when you say you have a new idea or you're gonna change. It's a false promises. You keep breaking those promises over and over and over and over. And then you see it with your wife and then you see it with your kids and it becomes a part of your family, it becomes a part of your DNA.
