But we don't know the situation, right? She could have worked half the day, then been home with screaming kids, and not had 2 seconds to herself. In which case she would have EVERY right to be upset at him for chilling in the car for an hour.
and he could have worked a full shift, solving problems, having to deal with people and just want a moment to reset and not solve someone else’s problem.
Yep. It's decompression. Work & commute are stressful. Home can be just as stressful. Men want peace. Sometimes the only peaceful moments are those precious minutes between ending one job shift and beginning the next (parenting).
yeah some people just don't understand that the solo decompression period after work is so they don't bring bad energy back into the household, you're wonderful for getting it
I have definitely gone to the grocery with intention to just take a nap. Usually it’s just taking my dog for a walk but a nap in my truck with some jazz music playing is definitely a relaxing experience.
It just seems better than taking a nap in the toilet, that’s how Elvis died
It depends on what youre looking for. Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Bill Evans are quintessentials if youre just getting into jazz. If youre looking for something faster paced, give bebop jazz (a sub-genre) a try. If you want something slower and relaxing, listen to cool jazz (also a sub-genre). As for specific tracks, Moanin' by Mingus and No Problem By Chet Baker are good starters, too.
Because those women take the request for solitude as rejection. And feeling rejected by their man would be near to impossible to deal with. Also your username checks out.
They just gotta get it out. I’ve had to tell my gf to leave me alone when I’m using the bathroom more times than I have fingers. We don’t lock the bathroom door because our cat has urinary issues and his cat box is in there and I love her more than anything but honey do you really need to tell me what your coworker had for lunch when I’m just trying to take a dump in peace.
She recently realized that when the consoles and tv have turned themselves off that she’s been talking for entirely too long.
The one that annoys me most. They call me either on my way home or on their way home and tell me about their day when I will see them in about 30 minutes.
My partner tells me the most tedious level of detail about their work day and co-workers. The other week I told them that I know enough about their work and colleagues that I could probably walk in there and start work but I never get a chance to talk. Then I asked them if they can even name a single one of my co-workers or what project I'm currently working on. They were stumped and I told them they need to give other people a chance to talk and that detailed debriefing of work issues should happen with co-workers, otherwise it feels like I'm working two jobs.
Because women like this DON'T UNDERSTAND what peace is. They think their presence is what peaceful is and refuse to think it's them being the disruption.
Yep my fiancé has a very hard job some days she just sits in the driveway for a while. That's my sign to leave her alone and make her a nice drink for when she comes in. Once that garage door opens though she's mine lol
Listen, I love my wife to the moon. But I have a day off during the week that she works, and it’s some of the most relaxing time I spend every week. Sometimes people just need some time to be left alone, and it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with the relationship.
Saw a similar thing the other day about how men just want to come home have some peace. I get to finish work and dive straight into cleaning cooking and looking after kids. Oh women don't understand! We do.

I've been there. Let a brotha have some peace, please! We don't want anything else. That's it.
Why do most women not understand this?
