Karen and Howard had been talking about redecorating the living room for several months when Karen went away on a business trip. When she returned, she learned that Howard had repainted the living room the color of his choice. He had also moved the furniture and rehung pictures where he wanted them. When Karen flipped her lid, Howard pretended to be hurt because, after, he had done this for her. Right.

Come on, Howard, we all know this was your not-all-that-sneaky way of getting the living room redecorated to your taste and probably to keep Karen from buying the new sofa she’d been talking about. You lost Frequent Foreplay Miles and, what’s more, you deserved to lose them!

Lorraine was having a tough time at work. She was responsible for managing a team that had a project deadline. Team members were overworked, exhausted, and squabbling amongst themselves. Lorraine was at her wit’s end when she came home and unloaded on her sweetheart Jeremy, saying she was ready to throw in the towel and look for a new job. Jeremy took this opportunity to offer the constructive criticism that Lorraine wasn’t really a very good team player. Any bets on how well that went over? And on how many Frequent Foreplay Miles Jeremy lost?

It’s not your job to fix your sweetheart. It’s your job to be your sweetheart’s 24/7 cheerleader. Advice should be given judiciously and criticism, constructive or otherwise, should come from other sources.

Marion had worked hard to plan their little girl’s third birthday party. All she asked of Larry was that he be there to help entertain the adults who accompanied the children. The night before the party Larry’s softball team played in the championship game and won. The guys went out to celebrate. Larry had a few beers too many and was hung over the next day. Although he showed up for the party, he was far from the host that Marion had wanted him to be. He not only lost a bundle of Frequent Foreplay Miles, Marion hardly spoke to him the rest of the day.

Okay, so we can all understand how Larry got himself in this predicament. But, the failure to think ahead to the next day meant he wasn’t able to fully keep his promise to Marion. As a result, she wasn’t able to fully enjoy the birthday party that she had so carefully planned.
