Comment on Why does “come here” bother me so much?

If your wife is using text instead of talking to you, I would consider that a sign of respect. At least this is why I text people I could just as easily talk to.

Texting is inherently asynchronous. Your wife is telling you, “This isn’t urgent. Read it whenever you get the chance.” If you’re in the middle of something, texting is less obtrusive than if they just started talking with you out of nowhere.

This is just my personal interpretation. Only you can decide if it makes sense in the context of your relationship.

Nah, she’s just super lazy. LOL

She knows I’ll be working, but I have to “come here” because “Can you bring up my water?”… literally just ask me to bring up water and save me two trips and 15 minutes to get back into what I was doing!

It’s a habit that needs to be deprogrammed.

  That’s an assertion of dominance. I would hate it.

For someone outside your home, I would agree with this. But for someone in the house, especially within earshot, I feel it’s the exact opposite. Just talk to me, use your words, and tell me what you want.

  People being antisocial toward their own spouse getting up voted is a troubling sign.
