re: Why are women incapable of sitting still / relaxing?

I don't think it's a secret to anyone that men and women are wired differently. Men are usually in one box and focused on one thing at a time. If you're watching football, you're in the football box, cutting the grass, the yard work box, doing something for your job, the work box. For women everything is intertwined. Work, kids, finances, household chores, emotional attachments, it all overlaps in their brains all the time, which leads to a lot of their nervous energy. They're usually thinking about several things at once. It's why they will bounce around from one topic to another during a conversation that are seemingly unrelated to us.

Seabass, how did you finally get to diagnosis with your wife. My wife would bite me if I suggested counseling even though I go myself to deal with some grief issues.

Orderliness, perfectionism, control and ego-syntonic behaviors which she views as suitable and correct. OCPD is bad when untreated.

I’m the one who can’t sit still in my marriage.

I also don’t get that.

I don’t see what’s difficult to just chill

Meth?
