That's incredibly depressing. I feel like the better solution would be to have an honest conversation with your wife that you need some alone time rather than waste it sitting in traffic.
- P_I_Staker 4y agoDefinitely want to be careful not to disparage women, because raising a family can be so difficult, but for a lot of families, this isn't an option. As you said, this is incredibly sad. I don't know the answer or what peoples lives are actually like. I have witnessed friends wives have total meltdowns, because we were playing videogames when she wanted him to be cleaning their already spotless house for relatives... I honestly thought he was going to get stabbed.
- commandlinefan 4y ago> an honest conversation with your wife that you need some alone time I've tried that, that definitely doesn't work...

- AnimalMuppet 4y agoDo it before you get home. Literally stop the car on the next street over or wherever, and just sit there for 10 minutes and decompress. Then drive the last block home, and be ready to go when you walk in the door.
- quags 4y agoThis one depends on the person. 30 min each way with an audio book or pod cast while driving on the high way - nearly no distractions, hopefully no checking of the phone alone time. Doesn’t seem that bad in that case.
- sheepybloke 4y agoExactly. It doesn’t mean you hate your life or your wife or your kids, just that you enjoy the bit of time to decompress, prepare for the day, or just think.
- commandlinefan 4y ago> It doesn’t mean you hate your life or your wife Some wives think it does, though.
- willcipriano 4y agoThose ones are correct.
