In an effort to preserve her sanity and maintain a healthy relationship, Betoota Heights woman Hayley Moines, 28, has had this week had to gently inform her partner that she needs time to decompress after work, before she can engage in any yapping.

Having recently moved in together for the first time, Hayley and Lachlan have so far managed to avoid any major teething issues.

But after the fifth day of being bombarded the second she got in through the door, Hayley has had to have a gentle but firm talk about her needs as an overstimulated introvert – in particular, needing at least two hours of shoosho after work.

“I don’t know how people manage to be social after working all day, my battery is spent”, explains Hayley, “but because Lachlan works from home, he’s dying to talk to someone in person, so the second I get through the door, he’s on me like labrador spotting some dropped food.”

“I had to explain that I deeply love him, but to please let me mindlessly scroll Tik Tok for a while before asking a million questions.”

More to come.
