    This is entirely alien to me, and I can’t understand it, but… As long as you’re happy? I hope you are. For the most part, at least. If someone insisted on talking at me for long periods I’d lose my dang mind.

      This type of wife hatred is commonly mined for nuggets of supposed comedic gold. “I hate my wife” is a type of comedy for guys that’s not very dissimilar from “I hate my kids and love wine” for moms.

      This type of comedy was becoming pretty outmoded during the Obama years, but the MAGA zoomers in coalition with their older counterparts are trying to bring it all back.

      My personal opinion is that it sucks, often isn’t funny at all, and that if you really hate your wife so much you should consider divorce.

        God, thank you. I have a long history of trauma such that ‘jokes’ about an unfun, unhealthy life aren’t fucking funny when they could be a cry for help in ‘joke’ form. I’d much rather offer someone who’s ‘joking’ the support they might be too afraid to ask for than to ‘laugh’ at a ‘joke’ about a bad time.

      Oh my god its a joke. That’s what the internet is for. I’m not gonna discuss the state of my roof tiles or how I enjoy mowing my lawn. Good day though! That’s important!
