Sent this to my wife and we talked a bit about how I don't like lights on.
I realized that even when I'm home alone at night (and not taking care so that she doesn't wake up), I will use the flashlight/torch on my cell phone rather than turn on lights in the house.
I'm the wife and I'm like you. I will stand in the dark and wait for my eyes to adjust rather than turn on a light.
We have fairy lights and red LED string lights for the high traffic areas to dissuade hubby from flipping on the overhead.
Low light motion sensor nightlights for a couple spots so that we don't step on a cat on the way to the bathroom.
The kitchen lights are dimmable, so we can go bright when needed to cook, and dim if just searching for a snack.
I love it. He has given in and adjusted. I find it calm and cozy.
Well, it's nice that you two found a common ground here, wife and husband. It is a bit weird you did so by communicating via Lemmy comments, but's great if this works for you. ;)
My husband isn't on Lemmy, lol. I was just pointing out that my house has a similar light dynamic as this guy's. And that sometimes it's the wife with the light sensitivity. And yes, I know I'm weird for it compared to other people. :)
I think Neo was just making a joke about the two of you being husband and wife and discussing the issue here instead of IRL.
