      Given the tone of all the comments on this post. I see I am outnumbered. For the sake of argument, I will accept your explanations that she simply wants to show she cares.

      *scoffs*

    We just love checking on you ni…

    Someone used to call me ‘amoranbinioyo’ – a Yoruba phrase meaning ‘one who knows the answer and yet keep asking the question’

    (And how could you really be doing nothing in the loo?)

    This just came in time for my lunch break…so funny

    1. Naija Husband Avatar

      I’m not doing exactly nothing in the loo per se….but still. Why should she ask???

      1. Abiola Avatar

        Just because…she’s naijawife!

        Lol.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    NaijaHusband, this reminds me of the Coupling episode ‘The End of the Line'(season 2 episode 9) where Susan kept asking Steve ‘where are you going?’ aaalllll the time.
    Steve said it was like she had set up a paranoid motion-sensor. LWKMD!!

      Naijawife watches coupling. I do not like that show.

    LMAO. This is me and I sense the ‘disgust’ all the time. I just can’t stop asking him all the different forms of ‘Are you okay?’.

    This is just a case of us treating people how we’d love to be treated. You guys need to understand that we crave attentions and naturally assume that you’d appreciate it in same measure.

      The funny thing is…if I even speak to Naijawife before the clock strikes 12 noon, she will rip my head off. Talkless of asking “what are you doing?” or “how are you doing?” . Naijawife does not crave attention in the morning…but come nighttime sha….

      Actually I go a step further and ask – “what are you thinking?” That’s the one that really gets under his skin. You’d think that after 8 years I should know better.

      1. highlandblue Avatar

        Eight years? You should be brown eyed woman nau

  22. highlandblue Avatar

    I think in my case I do the monitoring. She’s not upset about it unless I push it too far. Yes I ask what she’s thinking too a lot, no answers from her so far

    LOOOOL!! I almost chocked on my rice reading that!! yup….sounds familiar. I only started learning after 7 years

  24. […] “NH….” she said…”What are you doing?” […]

  25. […] over my television watching, will disappear for hours. Once I don’t hear her asking me “what are you doing?” I know that means she has locked herself in the bathroom […]
