I especially hate this because it's often after like 10 hours of staring at a wall doing fuck all. As soon as I start doing literally anything, all of a sudden I'm in high demand.

Yeah, I'm right here with you. 2 kids under 6, and a wife who's love language is 'acts of service'. Fuck. Me.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but the whole love language thing is total BS if you didn't already know.

I'm serious, but I did know love language is BS. There is a quantum of truth to it though. Certain people like certain things.

What is it that causes this behavior from people around us? I think we have all experienced this before, which means that people are probably predisposed to want your attention when it's elsewhere, but not care about your attention if it's nowhere.
