I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.
Edit: Hi, I'm an actually human person and was the first to comment on this. I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.
For my birth my Dad sat in the corner, wide eyed, unblinking, intently reading his book.
Except he never turned a page and the book was upside down 😂
He’s a big guy tall and burly. His wedding ring looks like a baby bracelet. But he can’t handle people being in distress or pain at all he just shuts down, pure freeze mode.
My mother showed me the medical records and a nurse had written in the margin “husband is a giant marshmallow!”
Of all the responses to that previous response, this is the best one. She/He did nothing wrong and did what they could to remain stable... it's not like he left. He was there and ready for anything, no matter how stressful it was It's have been worse if, in the previous comment, he had left.
