Get Out of the Doghouse Day
Get Out of the Doghouse Day is held on July 21. The original idea came from the symbolism in the 1911 Peter Pan novel written by J. M. Barrie in chapter16 when Mr. Darling goes out and sleeps in the dog kennel, remorseful of not paying enough attention to his family and allowing his children to be kidnapped. This event in the third decade of the month July is annual.
Sometimes you mess up pretty badly with your spouse or your significant other. While it may not end a relationship, you can be “sent to the dog house,” or resentfully ignored, by the person you wronged. You may even be told to sleep on the couch or spend the night at a friend’s house if your partner is really upset. Getting out of the dog house might take some work, but it will be worth it in the end to start repairing your relationship.
