I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.

Edit: Hi, I'm an actually human person and was the first to comment on this. I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.

My wife is a midwife. Can confirm that this is not only common, it’s actually one of the better case scenarios. 😞

What is a midwife?

u/thedeafbadger Apr 24 '26

A midwife is a healthcare provider that specializes in pregnancy and birth both in and out of a hospital setting. The key difference between a midwife and OB/GYN is that midwives provide healthcare throughout low-risk pregnancies and handle births at home, in a birth center, and in a hospital, while OBs generally handle high-risk births involving medical intervention.

Midwife is a really bad term for that lol. I was trying to peice together what a mid wife was. I can't say I've heard that term before.

It comes from German and literally translates to “with woman,” so I would say it’s an apt term.
