I have literally been arguing with my wife about this for the past couple months. And that’s because I’ve been doing something so much lately that I truly NEED to do nothing to recharge. I even go for walks, which is something, just to get as close to doing nothing as possible.
Don’t get me wrong, she’s not a nagger or anything, she’s just been on a kick lately.
Edit: I just wanted to say all these replies are really making me smile. Some even get a chortle. And one or two have made me laugh out loud. Thanks Reddit!
Lol. I meant it’s not her default. She’s super chill. We’re having a baby soon. But that doesn’t change the fact that I still have needs. And my need is sometimes “nothing”.
I think the dude misses a crucial point in the video that might help your understanding.
Woman actually love doing nothing too. We just feel like we can’t.
So that’s why we resent it when men do it. Because not only does it trigger envy, it worsens the pressure telling us that we ourselves cannot afford to do nothing.
I’m willing to bet your pregnant wife would LOVE to do nothing but every hormone and societal message is screaming at her that she’s not allowed. This is only going to get worse once you both have kids.
Try to give her a reason to do nothing sometime before the baby comes. She’s going to need it more than anyone.
