I'm definitely the same about work. My wife will come home and regale me with an hour long tale about how shitty work was. When I come home I want to forget about it. Not to mention she doesn't know anyone that works here (and I don't know any at her place..) or what I really do. I mean, I could tell her, but how dramatic is software engineering really?

The worst was when we worked at the same place, where her mother always worked. They'd have some gangbang over how shitty the job was and I kept screaming in my head "SHUT THE FUCK UP I JUST LEFT THERE, LEAVE ME ALONE".

Lol I get fucked by this after work scenario all the time. After 5 minutes of listening to her recount some stupid office incident and realizing she hasn't even broken through the introduction paragraph of her dissertation yet, my mind "detaches" and starts to float freely amongst the stars (that or a mental min/max analysis of my Divinity characters). Then, after about ten minutes of uninterrupted babbling, punctuated only by the occasional "uh-uh" on my behalf, she finally says something that requires a response and I'm forced to say "sorry, what?". Gets me fucked every time lol.

My wife totally needs to come home and vent. I hate it but I grin and bare it. Because that is what she needs to do to work through the issues and feel "better" she had a hard time understanding that I want just the opposite. I finally had to sit her down and say "listen, when X thing happened that made my day shit at work today the last thing I want to do is rehash it. It is just going to get me all pissed off all over again. I just want some quiet unwinding time and a beer, then I'll be better."

Granted this was a two way street, I totally had to go through the 'don't try and fix it, just sit there and listen to her bitch because that is all she really wants' stage as well. We have an understanding now though.

Same boat as you guys. She would come home and just bitch about work for an hour or two until I had the talk with her. I said, leave work at work, when I'm at home I don't want to talk about work, I want to pretend that work doesn't even exist.

When a dude is having a tough time, or going through something shitty, all you are required to say as a bro is "let me know if you want to get a beer sometime" and leave it at that. Then you never talk about it ever ever again.

We got some seriously repressed bros up in here. No wonder so many of you are prude about fucking your woman in the ass.

When my wife comes home and vents about petty stuff I tell her that she should be lucky her problems are so inconsequential and petty.

When my wife comes home and vents I hand her a dildo and tell her to go fuck herself.

Wait. Were you just sitting at home holding a dildo, waiting for your wife to come home? What were you doing with that dildo?!

Nah dog. I realized after reading the internet that my girl craves all kinds of "prior pricks". You know. The dicks of the dudes that fucked her right before she met me. So I had a bunch of replica cocks (dildos) made. She's super sweet about humoring me during board game night and she asked me if we could have a DP night, which after she explained her reasons I figured was only fair. So when she decides to stay home for DP night I make sure to have a dildo ready. Doesn't happen often luckily, she usually heads out for the night and gives me some "man time".

I was a bit skeptical at first about the whole cocks from the past phenomenon until I hit 88 mph in my Camry one day and her pants lit on fire.

Yeah I have a huge problem with the "Just sit there and let them bitch" because if there is a problem yo I solve it. Im slowly learning to just just shut the fuck up and act like im listening.

I'm fairly lucky my wife doesn't complain very often about work. Although she isn't a very catty person and doesn't take every "could that be an insult???" that women love to do as a full fledged insult. She just doesn't care. Anytime she complains it is almost always about one of their customers.

Once you learn the art of nodding your head and asking one or two follow up questions, life is a lot easier. Women don't want solutions, they just want to bitch about stuff and have someone pay attention. If you learn to play along and tune it out mostly, nirvana is achieved. Of course you stupid bastards working at the same place as your wives are fucked in that regard.

Another tip is to not get to know her coworkers. If you have no idea who anyone is she'll be much less likely to go through detail.

When my wife comes home from work and complains, I say "Who are you?! Get out of my house!"
