Much relate, much relate. The conclusion I have come to is that I want my husband to be in the house, but for him to leave me alone to read and write to my heart's content. That is perfection. It happens every now and then when he decides to play some online games or something in the evening. I've started encouraging such at-home, solitary activities for him.
We demand the wife's side of the story. This was hilarious. Am very sure the other side will be laugh riot. Wonderful to be able to laugh out loud on Substack.
Damn! I liked at this and nearly physically rolled on the floor laughing my head off the first time i read this a year ago! Its still as funny but substack wont let me “like” it again!
Also, the curious want to know, did subsequent repeats of the experiment happen? What was the conclusion??
Did Simran win this battle or did _Raj_ loose it?? Plis to tell, @Rohan Banerjee!!!
Oh man Rohan!! This has to be the best of your posts so far!!! I had to stop read at almost every sentence to finish laughing and wiping my tears from said laughing! EVERY. SENTENCE!! I kid you not! Absolutely loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I call your bluff, Rohan! If she had been gone for just a couple of more days you would have been begging her to come back 😁.
Awesome post, as usual. I was laughing out loud at “…You do, of course, feel a great deal worse when a raspy voice near your ear whispers it back at you…”

Haha, true. There is harmony in doing different things together.
Writing goals, couple goals, gif goals and now, footnote goals. Like always, I chuckled through this one too 😆
Thanks so much, Karthik! With typical politeness you avoided mentioning the own goals. I'm grateful.
This is delightful. And obviously your wife has a wonderful sense of humour. Would love to read about her pros and cons from her 10 days away.
Thank you so much, Sandhya! Maybe one day I'll be able to convince her to share her humour with a wider audience.

Thank you! I'll let her know about these demands. :D
I second, third and tenth this!! The world needs to know Mrs. B’s perspectives and reactions to your shenanigans @Rohan Banerjee!!!!
I thought you were buying the smart ring to say I do in the second footnote.
Next time you're alone, remember to say goodnight to the creatures below your bed too
Thanks for fresh material for new nightmares.

Haha, thanks so much, Reshma! Repeat experiment is due soon. :D
Such a delightful post! ❤️❤️
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it!

Haha, that is so good to hear. Thank you so much, Reshma! I'm so happy you could get a few laughs out of this. Mission accomplished! 😃
Superb
Thank you, Renu!
Haha! Was waiting for your post, and this did not disappoint! What an unexpected topic, and what a lovely tribute to your wife 😀
Thanks so much, Pritam! So glad you enjoyed it. 😄

Thank you, Binu! I'm not going to argue with you on that one. 😁
Super as always Rohan! If i may add one of my own:
Pro: you can snooze sleep for a loooong time and blame it all on the other person who clings on to you and refuses to let you go.
Con: you can snooze sleep for a loooong time and you have no one to pin the blame on.
Oh and the snoring. Cant live with it, cant live without it. 🤓
Hahaha, great addition.
I've heard some stuff about the snoring but I choose not to believe it...
:-)
So good. So, so good. xD Also, Gina FC always.
Thanks, Sarthak! Gina rules.
Also, I don’t think you are communicating our demands to hear her side of the story Rohan! This drama feels soooo incomplete 🥹
