Did the dishes while wife was napping.

[harsh3466@lemmy.ml]

Had to do them quietly so I didn't wake her.

I want to say "good job, she will be happy you did" but in my heart I'm thinking "naps together are just the best - go be a bed warmer" but that is just me.

[harsh3466@lemmy.ml]

They are great, but if I take naps, I cannot sleep at night. Plus, it's often a chance for me to have some alone/me time. Of course I love my wife and spending time with her, but everyone needs some alone time, and between working and being home with her, I don't often get time by myself for myself.

The real question here is did you do them because it made you feel happy, knew it would make her happy, or knew it would make her complain less about the dishes not being done.

[kamenlady@lemmy.world]

Both have a positive outcome, so either way, good on him

[harsh3466@lemmy.ml]

Hah. Good question. I did it because it made me feel happy.

[kindenough@kbin.earth]

You are a good man.

[panicnow@lemmy.world]

It’s so hard not to clank dishes together. I won’t do them if I am up late.

[harsh3466@lemmy.ml]

Thank you. I try.

[harsh3466@lemmy.ml]

It is. I was careful to avoid waking her up.

[kindenough@kbin.earth]

Heh, me too. 25 years with the wife luckely...I can cook.

[onlym3@lemmy.world]

Hey, sorry for the slow reply. I like doing the dishes too so this post resonated with me. At the moment our boiler (US: furnace?) is playing up though so I have to repressurise it every time. Cheers for posting!

My boiler won't hold pressure; there's no leaks that I'm aware of, but it also seems to operate quite comfortably at 0 bar (hot water, warm radiators). I get it serviced annually so I don't really know what the problem is.

My best guess is ghosts keeping it alive at this point (my house is very old).

[harsh3466@lemmy.ml]

No apology necessary! I hope you are able to solve your boiler issue so you don't have to keep repressurising it!

I had a boiler problem a couple months ago, and of course it stopped working the day it was extremely cold out (It was something like -10F/-20C).

Thank god I have a friend who knows about boilers. He came over and tested it and discovered it was a bad sensor, and instead of having to pay hundreds of dollars for a service technician to come out and fix it, it cost me $15USD

My wife and I enjoy cooking together. It's great fun and (mostly) results in delicious food.
