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/CommodoreGirlfriend Apr 26 '26

A midwife is a woman you hire to assist with home births, typically because you don't trust doctors. It's a traditional profession. The type of person who hires a midwife instead of a doctor tends to be conservative.

0.2% of midwives are men, thank you very much! πŸ˜‚ I read that in a book written by a male midwife.
