Second wife

I suggested that to my wife and now I’m sleeping on the couch. And I still need to make that phone call.

It’s only the wife’s job if the husband makes calls for her, too.
At least, for me. I do and have made calls for partners, and they’ve made calls for me too. I gel best with other introverts, so we take turns when one of us doesn’t have the energy to make a phone call. No need to gender it, it’s what supportive partners do for each other.

I just gender it because it is my case, but it is true that it depends on each case. It is easier for me sometimes, it is easier for her others.

Thank you for clarifying. Women often get tasked with extra emotional labor, so I wasn’t sure which way your post was going at first. I withdraw my downvote and wish you a lovely day!

This is the recurring problem i have between generalization and discrimination.
For example, women are, on average, more sociable, but that generalization can harm women who do not fit the majority. The same applies to men, who are often expected to be quieter or less expressive, which can be isolating for those who are not.
I don’t think generalizations are not inherently bad—they help us describe and understand patterns—but they are risky for exactly the reasons you point out.

My wife is an extrovert that hates making phone calls.

Mine has aphasia, where can I trade her in?

Use cue cards

Quite a bit of effort, especially if you want spares. There’s also a risk that they are introverts themself.

If she is an introver, then you are the extrovert, get on the phone!
