..... so how do the rabbis come clean and teach about vows publicly.
Abaye vowed that his wife should not benefit from him if she married her daughter to a certain man. His wife ignored him.... his vow was considered cancelled as he would never made this vow if he thought she would defy him. Also on this page is a story about Rava preventing another rabbi teaching publicly about vows, as if they knew that certain statements weren't valid they would have a casual attitude to vows, knowing that they would really be valid... just like Abaye.... hmmmm
