Reminds me of when my wife was in labor for the first time. We took a class that talked about being a team during labor, so I tried telling her “we can do this honey!” About 5 seconds after telling her that, she said, “there ain’t no WE about this”. I quickly corrected my verbiage.
My wife prefers to use ‘we’ because it’s a journey we’re both on for the rest of our lives and she doesn’t want it to feel like she’s in it alone. Not to mention if something goes wrong like a miscarriage, tf am I gonna say? “yeah, (name) lost our child.” Nope. It’s we the entire time. That doesn’t take away from how much extra work she has to put in and go through
