Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.

You’d be entirely correct, and that’s exactly why there’s an ongoing debate in physics and cosmology as to why there’s so much matter, and so little antimatter in the universe.

That’s true, but sometimes I definitely need a little push from someone in situations like this.

Nah, some people just really suck at being assertive (and/or have really bad social anxiety).

Sounds like the person you’re married to is kind of a dick, honestly. Thinking less of other people for not understanding your own unclear language just shows a massive lack of introspection. As a local autism, though, I definitely disagree with the last point, as a significant difference between someone who has autism and someone who doesn’t is that language is understood differently (I would know), and that means you can both understand and be understood incorrectly very easily. This post is kind of deliberately divisive anyway, but I believe the point of saying something and being misunderstood, despite your best efforts (hopefully), still stands.
