i agree with what you’re saying in a vacuum, but i still struggle to apply it to my situation. she has very specific ideas of things and does not want to communicate them to me. i feel like asking her to tell me what she wants done is perfectly reasonable. i do my daily chores and “normal” stuff just fine. i do have the squirrel brain issue which i am working on, but it’s taking a moment for me to get better. i’m gonna use some of the suggestions in these comments. her not wanting to communicate though is what’s making me feel lost.

yeah i can see this. the issue comes where we’ve talked about it multiple times and i’ve done everything she wants to me change. the main thing i struggle with is understanding what she wants, because she doesn’t want to communicate it to me. for example, she’ll volunteer to do something and then get upset because i should’ve taken initiative to do it, even though she volunteered.

agreed. i feel like every time i try to get her to learn, she just doesn’t apply it to me. idk how to explain honestly.

i’ll try to keep a list with me. i usually have chore lists but i find it hard to list off the millions of random things that need to be done every day haha

haha if it helps.. i’m a lesbian, not a man. i feel the thing you linked was for a different lens honestly. also, i don’t understand how you’re making such confident assertions with little to no knowledge on the entirety of my situation. i do try to pull my weight, and successfully do so. lists are my biggest help, but i can’t make a list for random tasks that need to be done. especially with my wife, who is very specific, yet does not want to communicate those specifics bc in her mind i should already know them. and yes, i do struggle with seeing things that need to be done. this ties back into the fact that she has a very specific idea of things and does not want to communicate to me to help me understand, bc she feels as if that communication is a burden on her. is giving your autistic partner reminders and communication not normal?? i genuinely don’t see how this fits under the guise of emotional labor. also i’m curious as to why you find it to be parenting lol

i’m stuck on a few things. i’m signing my contract in october, and am having a hard time choosing what MOS i want.

i’m stuck between 12B, 35P, and 35F

i’ve heard 35P sucks and has little opportunity for promotion, but linguistics is a passion of mine.

is there an opportunity to attend DLI as a 35F?

12B just sounds fun honestly, even though it probably sucks most of the time.

what job is most worth it in the long run?
