Da Realist said:To be real, giving a person a phone as a gift and then making them set it up is like giving a kid a bike that hasn't been put together. But when a guy says something like that, it sounds like he's defeated, which is the real problem. He's probably scared she'll divorce him and take him for all he has while he's stuck doing the hard work. Thing is that either he's gonna have to lay down the law and show he means business or just waste his life making some waste of space happy.
Good analogy. Distinguished in this case with the additional facts:
- he gave her the phone 8 months prior and set it up then
- she had issues with it and he was resolving them not because of any special expertise but because she was too busy (stay at home mum whose kids go to school during the day) whereas he works 10 hours a day.
