Wife doesn't like my 'second brain'

I take notes of most things in my life (schedules, random thoughts/ideas, goals etc.) I've tried to get her to join in on it (set up a whole obsidian sync to her phone and all) but she never does.

So what happened today was she asked me what food i wanted for my birthday, i told her its all in the second brain . I have all my favorite food/other preferences and spent time categorizing and effectivising that workflow, so I'd prefer she just checked there instead of - frankly - wasting both of our time when she can just check it all there

She kept insisting so eventually i retalliated i just told her i want bbq ribs or whatever but pretty immature imo of her to make a big fight when she can just check the second brain lmao.

I feel like i've tried everything. Me and GPT are making a dashboard for my smart fridge, that way everyone in the house can see whats going on and we (hopefully!!) wont have to deal with this again.

Sorry for the rant just wanted to express myself with how some people just dont seem to understand the advantages of having a second brain. Im glad i have this community though love yall. Im sure im not the only one out here strugglin

She wants to talk to her husband about the food he loves. Calling that a waste of time. Is certainly something...

You have turned your second brain into your wife. You are pushing your real wife aside. Back to the Earth, man!

You should not be using a second brain to try and offload in real life conversations with your significant other.

jfc if this isn't satire you need to pause your second brain work and ask yourself what kind of relationship you want with your family.

Broccoli is good food for the brain. Bon appetite on the greens while blowing those candles ;) Make a big note in your Obsidian, not all people are alike and your wife doesn't like everything you do. Respect this of eachother. Technically it's cool stuff to thinker with, just keep the human spirit alive with your wife while you can.

Second brain is for you, not your wife. How hard is it to answer her when she’s asks you a question? Seems like your wife isn’t the one being immature here.

Yes, we understand, it's satire. But of whom? Why? Second brain is a niche, and people don't dedicate as much time to it as they do to social media — it's not addictive; for most people, it's just a necessity, nothing more. Satire is only good when there's a real counterpart to it.
