My experience has been that if you go out with some guys and come home at midnight, wives tend to be asleep. So you can go pass out, or if you're not ready for that, you can watch some TV or screw around on the internet. May not be in the right mental state for some serious reading at that point....
That's pretty close to reality, though Mrs. Taint usually goes out with Mr. Taint, but at 5'1" and 110 pounds, usually comes home a wee bit drunker than Mr. Taint.
I check my Uber receipt, rate my driver and then put Mrs. Taint to bed. Might there be some midnight shenanigans? Perhaps, but Mr. and Mrs. Taint have been married a long time and that's not always the case.
As the AM cycle ran about 2 hours before (Mr. Taint doesn't check his phone when he's out with the Mrs.), Mr. Taint usually checks his games and then goes to see what dumb **** has been posted in the several hours that passed while he was out having a good time. He then usually adds his own dumb ****. Being drunk, sometimes it's dumber than his normal dumb ****.
If Mrs. Taint isn't with Mr. Taint, then the rules are different. Mr. Taint goes right to use the backup computer in the guest room, without bothering Mrs. Taint. It's a long standing rule in the house. Don't bother Mrs. Taint when inebriated and Mrs. Taint doesn't complain about just how inebriated Mr. Taint is. As Mr. Taint doesn't pay for drinks in his town, this can be considerably *********.
Happy wife is a happy life.
