My husband does an obscene amount of wonderful things to make our lives fun and exciting and comfortable. And I tell him every day. I am very aware of his contribution to us.
Sorry you don't think that's possible but it very much is.

When she lets me know her and my daughter are spending the night at her parent's house, I am always initially happy I get the place to myself, but by the end of the night I'm bummed out because nobody is here. The presence can be just as important as the things they do.

Erm. Well, the inherent difference is that the spouses and SO generally aren't going to "have a spouse or SO of their own" to appreciate how hard it must have been for you before you're gone, unless you or they weren't good partners.
In general, though, the spouse or SO who doesn't appreciate a good partner is not a good partner themselves.

Campers most of the time will have co2 detectors. Grandparents had one in theirs

They say they never really miss you until you’re dead or you’re gone.

Indecent exposure laws. They say your genitals have to be covered. However it's legal to be topless for both men and women. So places stipulate that you must wear a shirt.
Note: pants obviously include skirts, bathing suits, whatever.

Especially when she’s out of town for a work trip.
Even if they’re only gone a few days, you can gain a new appreciation

In a post discharge environment that hasn't been vented without SCBA, due to the displacement of O2 and high concentration of CO2 first responders have died from CO2 poisoning. I've literally been in thousands of discharges for concentration testing and they can be impressive.

Not true in my case. I know it's not specific to asian culture but looking back at almost 3 decades, I was just born as their retirement plan. I would never ask my future children to work for me.

Ya. For me it was more of a mix. I wasn’t perfect but holy shit my parents we’re insane. Like why did I have lice so bad my hands were covered in blood when I scratched yet we were so rich we had a maids?

If your spouse or S/O doesn't appreciate you, they are a bad partner. That's not how healthy relationships work.

I’m sure you’re experienced and trained in the proper procedures and probably given the correct equipment to detect the build up of the gas and you’re trained to get out before you panic from symptoms. But that’s just risk mitigation. There’s still a chance. We had one gas company investigator die in the last like 30 years where I work. Way before me. The standard has ever since been that at the very minimum is the fire department being made aware of the response by the gas company. Even then maybe the Chief or the Squad will drive by with a detector quick and see if anything’s needed and then either call for more man power if needed or return to station and let the home owner wait for the company.
The guy died because he opened a door that he didn’t realize was a dumb waiter (that’s what they’re called, right?) to the 1st floor and he was on the 3rd. The chute was full of gas but the 3rd floor room wasn’t and things equalized and he went unconscious before he could make it back out. Had the fire department been just there outside and someone with an SCBA could’ve gotten it on him and then out? That would’ve been a near miss. Instead it was a change in protocol.
Remember, the fire department can go in service from the scene at any time once it’s deemed good. It’s one of their most common calls and they train to make it as safe as humanly possible so even if all they do is sit outside in the truck while you go in to shut off a line before going back to station, isn’t it nice to have help there already?
