I hate when people say “we need to talk” or “I have something to tell you”
And it’s almost never that significant but you have crippling anxiety until they do

shareChris Rock had a great line about this
Wife: 'Honey, we need to talk...
We need to talk about some shit you need to do'
Lol yeah
shareReal talk...sometimes an innocent husband is alone in the garage, the CD player is blaring Mellencamp, fishing equipment is getting oiled and prepared, the squirrels and chipmunks are devouring the peanuts you just tossed for them on the driveway and ALL is right with the world...Total Bliss.
Then Wifey charges in!
Now your ass is headed to The Post Office, Home Depot, some clothing store you never heard of and the car is out of gas and she hates pumping gas so get to it boy and soon you'll be at the Farmer's Market carrying baskets of stuff you know you'll never eat but why pick a fight at this point?!?
Ain't love grand?
Yeah sounds blissful! Lol

It's never a good sign.

When someone uses these phrases, they are doing a sort of control maneuver. Instead of simply telling you what they have to tell you, they put a spin on your brain and let you stew in internal monologue before doing their dramatic reveal. A linguistic tactic for drama queens and control freaks. Always bothers me.
shareIt really is 'soap opera' level dialogue yet I'd bet every husband hears this a dozen times a week LOL
Just imagine you're J. R. Ewing and roll with it👍
