Every once in a while, it's important for us to embrace the things we all share in life. Yeah, we all love sports (or at least, a sport) which is why we're here in the first place, but what else is there?
Look, I love my wife, you love your wife, we all love our wives. But the reality is that when I get home from work and she asks me how my day was, no matter how awful or great it was, my answer is invariably some sort of half-response because I'm tired and just need to veg for 30 minutes and let the stress wash off me while I do a peloton ride, or walk the dog, or do anything that doesn't require affirmative brain function. On the other hand, when I ask how her day was, I get a 30 minute diatribe about the women she works with and their highly dysfunctional inter-personal relationships. Every. Single. Day.
To be honest, we get along fantastically and really don't fight at all, but this is the one thing that I just can't stand. I don't know why it bothers me as much as it does, and I know it's stupid so I just sit there and do my best to act interested, hoping that she won't ask me a question that would require some sort of recollection of what she previously told me during one of these episodes.
Getting back to the point of this thread, my understanding is that this phenomenon is universal among married couples but who knows. Anyone else experience this or some derivative of this?
