Simplified Meaning:

This quote humorously points out how some people might decide to overlook their partners' mistakes or flaws, but only admit their own faults when it suits them. It highlights a playful side of relationships where one might forgive easily, especially to keep peace, but only acknowledge their mistakes if it's beneficial. In a married couple, for instance, a wife might let go of her husband's errors to avoid conflicts and maintain a happy environment. But it mischievously suggests she rarely admits her own wrongdoings unless it's in her favor. It's like when someone avoids saying "I was wrong" unless they absolutely must, and instead, they prefer to be the forgiving person. People can apply this idea by remembering that true harmony in relationships comes from both partners honestly recognizing their mistakes and not just forgiving the other person when it feels convenient.
