My wife will loudly say ouch or similar to the mildest things, even to things that she admits don't hurt at all (she once did it when I bopped her lightly with a pillow).

As far as I can tell it was a learned habit to get attention from her mum. She's the oldest of three and after the youngest were born the easiest way to get attention was being hurt.

She's been through horrendous pains with endo and related. She endured pain and discomfort all day for years, but the most minor of bumps or cuts gets a dramatic, loud yelp.

I do this. I think it’s due to the surprise of a sudden impact. Thing gets me, I say “OW!”, and only register whether it hurt or not afterwards. I am also an eldest (of two), but getting scrapes and bruises didn’t really get attention from my mum unless there was major blood so I don’t think that’s where it came from.

I do also say ow when random bits of my body just decide to suddenly hurt a lot, which is most days because this body is a total piece of poo poo with heaps of arthritis and fibromyalgia. People at work just ignore it now, because I do it like 20 times a day (as they should, if I need assistance I’ll ask).

Always fascinates me when someone who breaks up with someone else is accused of being controlling for it

Do they think "you are not a part of my life anymore" is an unreasonable degree of control for a person to exercise?

I remember a story from here where a bloke did something like that. Threaten to break up with his girlfriend. And she called it abuse. To which his response was:

"You know, you're right. That was abuse. I am an abuser. You really should not be going out with an abuser. So I guess, from now we are broken up."

Although I will add the caveat that constantly threatening to break up over trivial poo poo does actually count as abuse. But even in cases such as that, you are better off not being in a relationship with the abuser anyway.

Nah. The OP ran away too, but he had terrible sound localisation and ran in the wrong direction. Now he's overcompensating by dunking on his fiancée.

It sounds like Jess was pushing the baby with OP walking alongside, and OP jogged "a few steps forward" (so basically still within arm's reach) to investigate while Jess bolted in the opposite direction

Also I think it’s easy to gloss over but the wife going ‘ow’ and dramatic over the cut was later that night, hours after the actual cut itself, because she remembered it. No scene when it actually happened.

Has it crossed this guy's mind that people are individual beings, and that something that doesn't cause him pain could very well cause pain to his wife? That his personal subjective experience of the world is not actually the universal standard?

Truthfully if she's that dramatic it would be exhausting. Yeah, different people have different levels of tolerance, but dropping to your knees and crying because of a tiny cut is a vast overreaction unless you're two, and even most toddlers only do that because it gets them attention. People do have differing levels of vasovagal response to stimuli like getting a cut (like when people get faint at a finger stick), but having to fight your adult wife to clean a little cut is absurd.

It's possible that since they didn't clean the cut until she remembered it hours later that maybe it did get infected and hurt more.

I've seen how someone gets like that. Years ago my nephew had a splinter in his foot and his father and I were in the middle of getting it out while my sister paced back and forth yelling "You're hurting him! He's going to lose his toe! He can't breathe!" which just led to a ten year old screaming and hyperventilating and almost vomiting over a minor wound.

Hydrogen peroxide disinfects the cut but also makes the cut worse, which is why it's recommended to use disinfectants that don't kill healthy skin cells and slow blood vessel formation. If your choices are 'hydrogen peroxide' or 'nothing' then it's better than nothing if the wound is potentially dirty, but if you're buying a disinfectant then something that both disinfects and doesn't slow healing of the wound is better. And things like chlorhexidine are cheap and readily available at pharmacies, so having a disinfectant that doesn't make the wound worse is not a hard thing to do.

Having grown up in the country I am completely baffled by the idea of considering a cut to be any more than a mild nuisance, not gonna lie.

Also, hydrogen peroxide? What's next, iodine? Do Americans not have papaw ointment or something? You apparently lean towards massive overkill for medicine as a rule.

Like I'm starting to worry I'm genuinely above average in self-first aid in being able to use a first aid kit without training by guessing, and knowing how to use additional band-aids to secure one on a fingertip.

This is like how people used to die because they didn't know how to wash themselves.

Hydrogen peroxide is forever associated in my mind with the fuckoff huge blisters I'd get on my palms from starting on the monkey bars after summer break. I do not miss that agony. My dad still uses it but I go for Bactine these days (and I can't do monkey bars anymore :( )

Yeah I heard a story about a guy who had to work for his future father-in-law for seven years unpaid before he could marry his daughter and when it came time for the wedding and she pulled up her veil it was the wrong daughter! He ended up having to work another seven years unpaid to get the right one.

Hydrogen peroxide is awesome to gargle with, even if its not good for wounds. It's cheaper than Listerine, doesn't hurt, whitens your teeth, and the mechanical action of the bubbles is great at dislodging biofilms and stuff below your gum line.
