Mike is so real for that girl who wanted the bf to text her before coming home early. Some people NEED to mentally prepare themselves for company even if it's people who live with them. It can get exhausting to mentally make space RIGHT AWAY. Think if you're back to being a teenager and your hormones are high and someone enters your room without knocking. It just feels like that 😅😅😅

As an introvert who needs alone time to recharge my social/emotional batteries I also request that my bf text if he is coming home early. That time is desperately needed for me and if it’s not happening it helps to know ahead of time.

Everything that girl said and Mike said about wanting a text I agree with. I feel bad that they made it seem like it was weird ask when she literally stated the reason why. As an introverted and anxious person (who also works on their shit, it’s not like I let this rule my life) i appreciate having a heads up if I don’t know the scheduled time you’ll be back, but Erin’s reaction is exactly why I always feel “bad” or like the “asshole” when I ask. So I completely understand where that girl was coming from

I totally agree! I don’t think the girl is the asshole either because I don’t think she’s mad at her partner for NOT texting her…I think both sides can just compromise…if this is something that makes her happy, why shouldn’t he do it? The guy is ALSO completely valid if he forgets…we’re all humans..as long as she is understanding and doesn’t get mad at him.. I think both Erin and Mike can just agree to disagree too instead of both of them completely trying to convince the other their side is right. I think there’s a reason why people love Carly so much..she actually sees both sides but also not offending either one with her reaction. Matt can come off a little offensive sometimes…

In my opinion Mike is correct. I have anxiety and I like to know in advance how my day is going to go. Mike asked Erin if she would text if TJ said he wanted her to and she said yes. The Reddit person was saying a boundary/something that makes her feel comfortable. Matt and Erin gaming up on him was annoying. Way to go Carly for seeing both sides. All in all I agree with Mike.

It drove me crazy how they just refused to see his side!!!! I’m an extremely anxious person and if my husband didn’t let me know when he was heading home then it would really flip my mood. Every once in a while he might forget to text me, but for the most part, he’s happy to respect what makes me comfortable! I also like to get what I personally need done completed before he comes home so we can spend that time together.

As an introvert myself, I understand the girl who wants her bf to text her when he’s coming home early. It’s not that she doesn’t want him there and it’s not that she’s doing something he shouldn’t know about, it’s that as an introvert, no matter who it is we need time to prepare to interact with another person. It’s a true introvert thing that very many extroverts would not even begin to comprehend.

I totally relate to wanting a heads up that your partner is coming home - I try to plan my night around that, just like mike said, to make dinner for us both or not, when to shower & get ready for bed, etc. My partner doesnt have an issue with letting me know he’s headed home, sometimes he forgets but mostly he’s communicative.

I hope the girl asking for a text is not the Asshole because I totally see her point of view! It’s always nice to give a heads up because I would do the same if the schedule is deviating from the norm. It just gives time to mentally prepare to socialize and most likely do couple things. I think it’s a courtesy thing

The AITA about the text is so interesting. As someone who is on the spectrum and diagnosed ocd. My day revolves around a tiny schedule in my brain and I’ve mapped that out either the night before or that morning. To have something change during that schedule like someone showing up when you weren’t expecting, having noise when you thought it’d be quiet, even the outfit you planned in your head not looking how you thought it would can completely throw an entire mood or day off. To the “normal” person it’s no big deal and you instantly self adjust but for the quirky pals on the spectrum or with social issues a little heads up doesn’t seem like a lot to ask. If you have dated someone on the spectrum before it’s a very normal request and pretty easy adjustment but if you’re not use to that it seems unreasonable and weird I guess.

I completely agree with Mike on the text coming home early! (I don’t know that woman’s situation) but I am a stay at home mom and my husband works all day. I like when he shoots me a text or call when he’s on his way home so I can change my day around according to his arrival. Even pre kid, I loved my solitude and I appreciated when he let me know he was on his way home. I would hate for him to come home and nothing is done if that makes sense.. And funny thing is HE feels the same way… he likes to know I’m on my way home so he can do a quick clean up.

Mike around the last bit (55min mark) you nail it on the dot! Although ya sketchy that ur person needs a heads up, I drive my gf to and from work all the time and enjoy my ‘me time’ but when I get a text I gotta get her early it’s all good, just change my plans a bit instead of doing my alone stuff. Sometimes I’m working on projects that are louder n she hates listening too, or I watch my shows that she ain’t gonna watch with me. It’s common respect and if you loved and trusted your partner a quick, heading home my love ain’t hard.

as an introvert myself, i’m still with erin and matt on not needing to send a text to let your partner know you’re coming home early. why do you need to mentally prepare yourself to see your own PARTNER. they should be able to see you at any point of the day and love what they see. i get needing some alone time bc i feel that way all the time but you shouldn’t feel anxious when you think about your partner. He literally LIVES there. if i had to try to remember to text my partner everytime i wanted to come home to my OWN HOUSE i would honestly feel like a prisoner. that sounds absolutely exhausting.

If I’m having a self care night i would like to know when my bf is getting home so that we could do something else which is OKAY I don’t mind doing something else I just want to know what my night will look like. But then again I’m not that bothered by my bf being home early without telling me. I def think the girl might be hiding something lol I feel like she cares too much/ is making a big deal out of this BUT it would help if the bf tried a bit more to let her know

I completely agree with her about the text thing. I have roommates who I’m very close and comfortable with and whenever I’m just vibing on the couch and watching tv having my me time, whenever they come home earlier than expected it just throws me off and I feel like I have to flip a switch and the energy is different now. It’s okay and I don’t get upset obviously but it’s definitely a thing. I think it stems just from being a person who really enjoys and values being alone, or also just having an idea of what your day or night is going to be in your head and now it’s different.

Absolutely agree with the heads up text. Especially with ADHD, I need time to decompress alone. WITH THAT, I also thrive on planning my alone time so that I am mentally prepared. It’s a stimulation decompression thing! The spiral my brain would have if someone walks in when I’m not expecting would be insane. It’s not a overprotective, malicious, or suspicious thing. It’s purely a want from ADHD. :)

The ferry conversation and Mike's lack of understanding of ferries being able to carry cars killed me! As someone who lives on Vancouver Island and frequents BC Ferries, who accommodate several HUNDRED cars, I thought it was hilarious. Come to Vancouver and hop on the boat to Vancouver Island! Us Islanders actually kind of hate our ferry service because of the extortionate pricing and lack of other options, but it's practically a mini cruise with several car decks, a few passenger decks, a restaurant, cafe, arcade room, kids play area, and gift shop! Not to mention the beautiful scenery!

52:15 omg do I ever relate to the person asking for a heads-up text from their partner when they leave work because of the wacky schedule!! I've been in this exact same situation before & my unsolicited response to the ~all too-common~ excuse of "I didn't think of it" that seems to come up in discussions where someone is repeatedly failing to respect a boundary that has been communicated is this: what you're really saying there, and what the person who cared enough to communicate a boundary hears is "I don't care enough about how this thing -that I perceive to be so meaningless despite it obviously being very important to you- impacts you and therefore, I don't care about you". Bottom line, in any type of remotely healthy relationship, whether it be platonic or not, you NEED to care about the things that the other person involved in the relationship cares about; and if you don't, then you simply aren't good for each other. Now, to anyone that made it this far into my dissertation and is thinking "damn, it's just a text, it's not that deep"; I implore you to read my last sentence again.

I opened KZbin for the sole purpose of commenting on the texting situation couple. I have the perfect solution. She should turn the setting on in her phone where she gets a notification whenever he leaves his current location (aka work). It makes him aware that she will be notified, so nothing sneaky going on, and it’s completely harmless. If she only wants to know when he’s on his way home for the sole purpose of alone time which I heavily understand and relate to, they should do this. He never has to worry about remembering to text her and she never has to bother him and ask. I feel like this full proof lol it’s 2023. Love y’all

Hi y’all, love the podcast and everyone’s opinions! I wanted to jump in and give my perspective on telling a significant other when you’re coming home. My fiancé and I (34 yo) have been together 10 years and 4 of those years we’ve lived together. Even when we didn’t live together we let each other know when we were on our way home. In my eyes it’s more of a safety thing and just an update. We’re going to be on the road and commuting in California is a bit crazy and you just never know what can happen. It’s also an opportunity to do a quick check in to see if we need to stop at the store or if he’s had a rough day I’ll have a nice cocktail waiting for him or vice versa. ❤ Natalie

i completely agree with mike and wanting to get a text from a partner before they got home as an introvert who loves their space. i am kinda like this with my best friend/roommate, but mostly use our tracking apps or i just ask her what time is she coming home to adjust and prepare myself. although, i also wont be mad if the person forgets to send a text sometimes, but making an effort to text will surely help. either way, randomly checking find my friends to feel at ease surely won't hurt. love u guys and the pod!! much love from the philippines. 😚❤

I call my fiancée when I’m on my way home from work because I never get off at a consistent time. I asked him after hearing the debate and he said he actually preferred it when I remembered because then he approximately knows when I’ll be home and can get dinner ready. It’s not a fight if I forget though. He knows I get off at 6:30ish, depending on when I get my work done and said if it’s later than usual, he’ll check my location. I think that having each other’s location on might be the best compromise because it takes no effort from the boyfriend and the girlfriend knows when he will be on his way home. Another thing I want to point out is that is it does seem weird that it is almost an “inconvenience” when her boyfriend comes home early. When my fiancée does, it’s the best thing and we get to have more time together at night. Also, they don’t seem to be mindful of each other either because my fiancée gets off at the same time everyday so I expect him home around the same time. If it gets to be 30 minutes after when he’s usually home, I’ll check his location then call him to see if everything is okay or just send a quick text, just because it’s out of the norm. I only do that, though, if I see he’s still at work, but if he’s at a gas station or grocery store, I don’t even question it. There just seems to be a lack of communication because if you are living together, you should be allowed to still have your alone time. I like to decompress after the day by sitting underneath a blanket on my phone just to not have to talk to anyone, and then join my fiancée once I feel okay or I’ll go take a bath while watching a movie. He does the same, like playing video games with his friends or watching KZbin videos, but either way, there should be no shame in taking some alone time when you and your partner are both home.

For gift giving - sometimes my mom & I make a shared Pinterest board because she’s really picky & I like specific products. I fully think registries & gifts are awesome! But I’m the thoughtful giver & don’t always receive that outside my family

I've been an office admin & am now in a similar position. Watering people's personal plants is crazy! Esp in a multi-floor business. My office is almost a greenhouse w all the plants but the people who brought them in care for them... If ANYTHING I could see watering Lobby/ Entry plants. The CEO. Not effin Tanya 😂

We have a spider plant that has babies a lot too! They asexually reproduce so they'll just start growing a new plant basically & you put that in water until it gets roots... pretty cool actually!

I literally cannot handle their takes on the warning text. It's not that big of a deal and it takes half a second as Mike said, I NEED my alone time and my privacy so if that time is getting cut short I'd like to know. it's not that she hates her partner and doesn't want him to come home. that's such a weird take.
