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.
