What do you think about the ‘mental load’ in relationships?

Women are more neurotic by nature on average so it’ll always be a problem. This isn’t lobbing some accusation. It’s just true, like the Moon is up there in the sky and that birds have wings.

Some compromise could be made by men caring more and women laying off a bit (or a lot), but probably won’t be.

Fortunately, my partner is one of the least neurotic people in general I’ve ever met so we work together perfectly. And, well, my nickname in the army was “Chill” so that gives you some idea of how I tend to be most of the time.

I did have an ex-girlfriend ask me many years ago about some trifling matter, “How can you just not care?”

And I answered, “I look at it and think, I just don’t give a crap” and then never think about it again. Easy.
