Me with my gf
And me with my wife.
She has no clue what a rolling release or a distro is, and she doesn't care, but she gets horny when I nerd out about something I'm enthusiastic about.
Lucky! My wife just browses Instagram on her phone , occasionally saying "uh huh," while I ramble on about my latest obsession like a toddler talking about seeing a garbage truck.
I just realized that's how my wife sees me after my son was explaining how a sink works for the 73rd time. My takeaway is I need to be more invested in what he's talking about no matter how boring, cause getting ignored when you're excited about something doesn't feel great.
The other takeaway is my wife isn't mean, I just talk a lot.
Same! She'll pay attention for a bit, but I realize I can be a bit relentless in my info-dumps.
