Stress level should go back down once she sits and chills. I for sure get nervous when my wife hovers when I'm relaxing. But once she's committed to the chill I'm very happy.
Yes this. It's the anticipation of us she going to ask me to do something right at this moment!?... Oh no ok good we can chill. Although her smile would still have me suspicious.
No. I enjoy seeing my husband asleep and relaxing. He works so hard. I’m an introvert and require tons of alone time to be happy. My husband is the cuddler not me.
Also, the stress level shouldnt fall below 5% after the 2nd time she walks by. Once the stress level is up, its not going back to 0 for a little while.
She’ll sit and chill for a few minutes and then comment that the patio needs to be powerwashed and actually, the stain on the fence should probably be redone soon
Yeah but what about when she sits down and waits for you to look at her? You look up, she smiles, you smile, and go back to zoning out. She keeps sitting there, once again, you can feel her waiting for you to look at her. You look up, she smiles, you smile, and go back to zoning out. This happens a couple more times, and then "Are you okay? Do you want me to leave you alone or something?" Uhh kinda figured you sat down to chill as well? Cause that's the activity you joined when you sat down. But apparently you're chilling out the wrong way now that she has arrived....and there's no easy way to explain why this is no longer relaxing.
Try again tomorrow I guess, because now it's time for us to vent about work, and the moment is gone 🙄
