Husband acting out of character

My husband has been acting quite out of character in the past week. I asked him to do something yesterday and he actually did it today. Normally it would take him weeks. He decided he was having salad for dinner tonight, he usually hates salad. I need something from the shop after dinner and he offered to go, instead of me having to ask.

AIBU to think there is something I don't know? Or maybe he's just made a New Year's resolution I don't know about? Not sure what to think.

I have never heard of such a thing. Most likely he's been swapped with an alien impersonator.

Has someone sent him this competence porn thread on MN?

I shared it with a bloke at work and it was an eye opener for him. It appears raising the bar has gone well and led to “added benefits “

Maybe you need to not worry and lean in 😉

I haven't seen that. I'll need to go look it up.
