Things I do as a low effort wife that would send a high effort wife into a coma. I don't play up my husband's food for him. If I've cooked dinner, go to the kitchen, the food is there. You've got hands, play it up yourself. I've already just cooked. Why do I now need to play it up? I don't wake up early to make him breakfast before work. I'm asleep. My job doesn't require me to wake up that early. So sorry, I'm not making you breakfast before work. Make it yourself. And on that note, I'm not doing your work lunch either. If there's leftovers from dinner, feel free to pack that yourself, but it's actually not my problem. That's your work lunch or what it's got to do with me. I don't do his laundry or iron his clothes because again, your clothes, your laundry baskets. If I'm doing my laundry and there's like extra space and he only has a bit of clothes, then I'll add it to my wash. But I'm not going out of my way to wash your clothes for you. I only cook dinner when I'm bothered. I don't force myself to cook all the time. If I'm not in the mood or if I'm not feeling well, I'm just not going to cook. It's not an expectation that's on me. If I cooked dinner that day, good. If I don't, then just order Uber Eats or you cook something. It's not my problem. That's your problem. I don't do his laundry or iron his clothes because again, your clothes, your laundry baskets. If I'm doing my laundry and there's like extra space and he only has a bit of clothes, then I'll add it to my wash. But I'm not going out of my way to wash your clothes for you. I only cook dinner when I'm bothered. I don't force myself to cook all the time. If I'm not in the mood or if I'm not feeling well, I'm just not going to cook. It's not an expectation that's on me. If I cooked dinner that day, good. If I don't, then just order Uber Eats or you cook something. It's not my problem. That's your problem. I don't book any of his appointments for him, whether that's dentist, GP, or anything. I didn't even know this was a thing that wives did for their husbands. I just found out recently that some wives book their husbands appointments for them. Sorry, am I your mom? Unless there's a medical emergency and I'm booking an ambulance for you, what business do I have making your medical appointments for you? Are you actually a baby? Being a low effort wife doesn't mean I don't care about him. I think the reason I'm like this is because I'm an eldest daughter in an ethnic household. My whole life I've had to be responsible for people and take care of things. Like, sorry, I can't continue doing that. I'm not doing that for a man either. I'm not here to be your parent, I'm not here to be your maid. I think my role is to just be your companion and your best friend. Like, I'm not here to do any of it. No offense. I just don't think any of this stuff is my responsibility. Also, guys, if you do any of these high maintenance stuff, there's nothing wrong with it. And if you can maintain all those responsibilities, then that's amazing because I don't think I could personally do that. A lot of people do a lot of these things because it's their love language. But you know, you have to maintain it forever. And I'll just be burnt out personally. Also, I feel like because I never do any of these high maintenance stuff, when I do, it's appreciated way more by my husband because he's not used to it. Like, it's special treatment. But these are the things that I don't do as a low effort wife. Let me know if you want to know what else I don't do as a low effort wife.
