Perfect guy

A couple of weeks ago, I helped PG to get his iPhone from the states. Although he is a guy who's keen on gadgets, his previous phone was actually 5 years old and he only put in his money if the gadgets represent some kind of technology breakthrough.

Sometime this year.. when SE880 first came out...
ME: PG, why don't you change your phone? a lot of new models coming out this year and your phone is breaking apart!
PG: Yeah, actually I wanted the SE880. That's the slimmest form factor with decent specs. I bought it but my wife likes it very much, so I gave it to her instead.
ME: You are so nice to your wife...

Two weeks ago, before PG left for Korea for business trip..
ME: PG, what happens to your iPhone?
PG: It is not a 3G phone so I cannot use it in Korea. I switched with my wife for the SE temporarily..
ME: I see, does your wife want the iPhone too originally?
PG: I asked and I even took her to one of those MK stores so that she can try it out and see if she likes it or not....she said she's happy with the SE880 and doesn't need an iPhone.
ME: Now getting used to iphone's big screen, looking at other phones the screen is soo small...
PG: Yeah.. it is actually quite hard to see.

A couple of days ago and PG was back to HK for more than a week..
ME: PG, what happened to your phone? how come you are still using your wife's SE?
PG: Remember I swapped phones with my wife for my Korea trip? After I got back she didn't propose to switch it back to me .. so I guess she wants to use the iphone now instead..
ME: really.. (looking at him sympathetically but didn't dare to say a word about it)
PG: this SE is actually not too bad...it is very light and small.
ME: ............... (speaking to myself..but you loves your iphone..)

This is a perfect guy I know who would always put his wife and family in the first place, sacrificing his desire and possession to keep them happy.
