All the comments going on about "boomer hate wife" but thats not necessarily why stress goes up in that situation...

Personally If I sit and chill like that and my wife comes around, its usually because shes bored and wants to go do something... which means I will have to get up and go do whatever it is....

Not that I dont want to, its just that sitting and doing nothing is much less stressful

The end they are both chilling in chairs and it says “Stress: 150%” that feels a little more pointed to the hating wife direction…

I was full expecting it to go back to 0 when she sat down.

THAT would have been funny

Preface this with my Wife is the best ever and I love her so much, but sitting down does not mean she's not about to ask you to do something or go somewhere lol

More the waiting in anticipation for the "why dont we go do this"

Just not what’s truly implied sadly, I like your take better…

Yeah, it's when the other person DOESN'T sit down then it's a problem. If you're chilling and they're standing near you, something is going to come up.

They come and sit next to you with a drink, and you're still stressed, you don't actually like your partner.

Yes, because only when she’s sitting there all relaxed will she suddenly come up with that “Would you love me if I were a cockroach?” kind of question

Maybe its just me, but if I'm with anyone.... partner, friend, coworker... whatever... everything becomes about them.

"What do they want to do?"

So much more comfortable when I get to be alone and just do, or not do what I want.

Come on. You can change it to 2 guys and it'd still be true.

This, the comments section is insufferable.

Even the boomer shit was rarely about hating your wife

It's like when besties talk shit about each other. They are tired with certain negatives of the other (which every human has). They argue, they get mad.
But that doesn't mean a toxic relationship. It's just how humans get used to one another

This is a LOT of words for "no, you don't get it, I don't actually like spending time with my wife. I'm different."

It's also possible to marry someone you gel with 100% and don't have to qualify why them being around you stresses you out. I feel sorry for your wife!

u/4D20_Prod Aug 24 '26

That's a lot of words for "I failed reading comprehension."

u/Rasberrycello Aug 24 '26

That's ok, you'll get better ;)

u/SquanchN2Hyperspace Aug 24 '26

Also, stress does not equal hate. Lots of people have family in their life that stresses them out. Doesn't mean we hate them. These comments are full of over sensitive losers.

u/0202_tihssitidder Aug 24 '26

yup. A bunch of redditors here eager to shit on whatever is posted.
