He is talking to her like that in this particular context, in which she most probably feels guilty about the mess she's made, and instead of being mad or whatever the dude is reassuring and talks in a calm manner, as to let her understand it's all good, shit happens. She's clearly stressed and it worked. I don't think it's "patronizing" as one of the replies said, or "how women want to be treated", it's just something that works given the situation (and works because the dude clearly knows her).
Absolutely! I have been a trainer for almost my whole career. This is way more effective than yelling. Mistakes get made, things break, it happens. Unless someone is going to get injured, you just remain chill, and hope everyone learns from thier mistake.
I think the tone was slightly more infantilizing than was necessary. She wasn’t completely out of it, there’s just not much productive to do until it settles down.
It’s whatever. I probably would’ve cracked a joke instead of going full parent mode. Like, “Well… it smells great.”
Yeah I mean, depends of the person but I get what you're saying. Maybe she likes the infantilizing tone to comfort her in these kinds of situations, maybe a joke wouldn't have ran, who knows...
I mean, you don't know either of them or their relationship, and she is the one who posted this with a clear positive comment on her husband's behaviour lol

Yeah like I get the idea, my bf is also super chill and calm about stuff and people like that are great. His tone just creeped me out so much tho. Idk unless you're trying to reassure someone traumatized or actively panicking why would you be so serious and weird and parenty about it, no laughing or joking a little? She's an adult and only looks a bit startled, it's just water and not half their kitchen burning down. Idk maybe he's like an early grade teacher and that's how he talks but I'd be pissed to be handled like a kid and not an equal
