    Whenever I meet a man who routinely barks loud commands to their spouse/partner it makes me immediately hate them.

      My SO and I both yell for each other when we’re across the house or in a noisy environment, lol.

      We’re also sometimes brief in our requests because we’ve been together so long that a vague grunt/syllable and/or gesture is all that’s needed to communicate. Doesn’t mean we love each other any less 😆

      TL;DR: You can’t know every relationship from a small window of context ¯\(ツ)/¯ understandable heuristic though

        The opposite is also true: you can love a partner that is silent and shy, and sign whenever possible their love for one another. We just have low tolerance to being commandeered, and barked at.

      What command was barked? He called his partner using a familiar nickname, and explained why he called for them.

        The implicit command is come to me so I can have my desire to show this to you satisfied. Why doesn’t he just go to her? Or at least phrase it as a request.

          Different strokes for different folks. It’s ignorant to assume you know the dynamics of a relationship from… A single pane in a comic?

            I mean I’m not really talking about this fictional couple. I’m talking about real life couples I’ve seen with this dynamic.

            And personally I think you can in fact tell a lot about people from the way they routinely interact with each other.

                  You’re entitled to your opinion. It might be worth listening to what others are saying, but I can’t force you to do that.

                    You made some assertions based on a misunderstanding of what I was saying, and I corrected them. I agree it’s not good to make assumptions based on a single interaction but I’m not doing that.

                    So what is there to listen to that you feel I’m not?

                    Frankly I’m a bit puzzled by this negative response. Is Lemmy redpilled now or something?

          To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

          Or, to put it another way:

          To a nail, everything is a hammer.

          Sweeping generalizations are generally a Bad Thing ™. Especially when done out of context. 🤷‍♂️

      Same. 🫶 silent partners that just scurry over to show me their new find, and then we cuddle.
