I’m also male and can’t shut off my brain. I don’t think it’s a gender thing directly but may be skewed to one side.
That said I like the idea that couples must end up at 100% somehow. Sometimes you had a hard day and can only contribute 10% and your partner has to make up the other 90. Sometimes they have a rough day and max out at 20 % and you gotta cover the other 80%. Issues arise when it’s 20+20 so you only get 40% coverage. Happiness can occur when your combined equals over 100 and you can use excess energy to see them smile .
