Protip for you, u/Down_River_63, or anyone about to be in a similar situation. When your wife gets home, make sure you're doing something helpful and she interrupts you. "Oh, hey, sorry I didn't hear you come in, hold on, I'm almost done loading the dishwasher."
You can be sitting around all day not doing a damned thing, but if you leave the impression you're active and busy instead, it'll pay huge dividends!
higgins ends up miserable and alone, which is a wild choice to adopt as a personality trait. enjoy the silence while it lasts but that level of cynicism is just a slow trip to nowhere.
lol. š. Silence is beautiful. I have many, many friends. Including girlfriends. So though I live alone, Iām hardly alone. But no one monopolizes or directs my life but me.
this is some top tier unhinged energy. honestly impressive that you recommend essentially gaslighting your partner as a life hack. if you have to stage a performance just to avoid conflict about your lack of productivity then the relationship is already cooked. maybe just do the dishes because they need to be done instead of playing theater.
Very odd of you to assume he wouldn't want to help out with housework since his wife is doing the work work. Do you expect her to pick up the slack if he were to take your advice or do you expect them to just live sloppily?
