The wifey can complain when she is driving her new Bentley. Sometimes business has to come before pleasure, I know my lady would wait in the parking lot for 3

  It would have cost him nothing (and he's the one with the money, in any case) to say "hey, I'm running late, it's important, it'll be a while longer" rather than simply not answering, as the article seems to say.

    I took it as he was just making her wait longer than expected. Either way, I wouldn't be booking anything 5 minutes after the pitch.

    Ah, but interrupting business for personal looks bad; and the thing about (possibly most) women is they want you to have something that's more important than them. If you drop everything for them they won't respect you. So he did the right thing from both perspectives. Which is probably why he's rich and has a (presumably) hot wife. (I know that sounds politically incorrect, but alas, reality often is. To be fair, it probably works both ways: a man won't respect a woman who drops everything for him, either.)

      I have a hot Italian wife, and would never leave her stewing like that. It's not about dropping everything for the other person - I don't think anyone can expect that. It's about picking up the phone and saying "sorry, got to keep you waiting, it's important". Communicating and managing expectations. It's a pretty minor quibble, I guess, but it just struck me as something rude.

        guys, lemme clarify this- when i said "deferring calls from his wife," he was politely saying "honey, gimme 15 more min" because he was so into it. It really wasn't rude at all and perhaps I should have better explained it or left that out altogether. sean
