I love selling my life for just enough money to feed and house us. We'll miss out on the majority of interaction that makes a deeply human relationship what it is because we only get 2 hours a day where we aren't working/ getting ready to work/destressing from work. This is fine.

I'm a burly, groggy male - and even I wanna be a trad wife. Dressed in satin, mean looking, hairy chest having trad wife. Singing "la-dee-da-dee" in a baratone, smokey voice, dancing in the garden with critters looking at me in confusion.

It's a mans life being a trad wife.

That was kind of me for a few weeks during shutdown a couple years ago. I was out of work for 6 weeks. Probably the greatest 6 weeks of my life. I went on walks, I cleaned the house up, I spent a ton of time with my kid. It's an enviable position for sure

Knew a rasta that was a stay at home dad because his wife earned the big bucks. He could spend much more time with little man than most fathers could. I see that as an absolute win.

~~Why is her screen reversed? Does she text left handed~~?

I'm an idiot

It's not? That's the orientation of my texts. Other person on the left, my texts on the right.

Pretty much every messaging app across iOS and Android in my experience, unless your device is in RTL mode.

You know what. I am an absolute moron lol.
No idea why I thought it was wrong.

Good on you for leaving this up. We all do stupid shit. Owning it is half the battle (or is that knowing, and the other half is the 25% red lasers and 25% blue lasers.. ) anyway important. ;)

Haha thanks. This has been in the back of my mind ever since. I think because it doesn't show her asking the question my brain labeled the response as her text.

But really I think my first assessment was correct: I'm an odiot

No gosh your fine. you misunderstood something, it happens. We all get things wrong now and then, it’s really not a big deal.. or it shouldn’t be anyway.

Like fr, I found this whole thing very wholesome. Nobody upset about anything nothing to worry about. Maybe a slight ding to the ego, but let’s be real here, it could be worse.

You are doing fine, you owned it, that’s great and people don’t get to see enough of that. Everyone just deletes things. So I’m glad this is still up :)
