Yeah, most of these are “funny” because, you know ... “men are stupid”.
.....at the time we were married about two years...
Out at an Italian resturant we both enjoyed and my
wife decided to bring up something that was bothering her all day.....me, so it seemed. On and on it went....finally the waitress came over to take our order. She had a hard time deciding what she was going to have....so I ordered. Then to make sure the rest of the meal was civil, I simply reminded her “ don’t forget hun,you’re eating for two”...well the waitress went into the obligatory when are you due blah blah blah...and I got to watch as she had to go through all the customary details...*grins*...of course she wasn’t pregnant, and by the glare she was giving me
I could tell she wasn’t going to conceive that evening.
Men are. So are women. About each others’ worlds. Culture clash is always a good comedy theme. When the balance gets tipped, then it gets into hostile bigotry. At the moment, in pop culture, men are stupid is the theme, but it’s not humor.
In all classic comedy, what lasts is balanced.

It is the lighthearted banter that can make a marriage fun. In our early days , ours could be classified as “male logic vs. raw feminine emotion”.
Now we just have silly fun. You and your wife sound like you had that connection-one that is a blessing and comic relief.

Burned?
Your user name sort of fits!
Marriage- You don’t have to love it.
Children- Having them is not a gift to the community.
Divorce? Hey, if they’re happy, I’m happy.
Single? Be careful what you wish for.
The tweets I read included men commenting on their wives.
It’s early, I’m on my first cup of coffee and I laughed out loud at most of them.
The essence of comedy is that it contains some truth. I’m female and been married for over 40 years to my third husband. #1 was a mistake. #2 died young after a terrible accident and a long period as an invalid. #3 is a keeper, but it takes work from us both.
Men and women really are two different species who nevertheless need each other. It’s thesis<>antithesis>>synthesis with the expected conflict that comes from opposites in close proximity. Sometimes it’s funny. This was.
That we did. I learned early never to confront her in the kitchen ... Sicilians tend to speak with their hands, especially when it involves cutlery :o)
Eleven years this month. Raised two amazing kids. Sure miss her.
Him: do you want a cup of coffee?
Me: sure
Him, good, get me one too.
That is pretty sad. I wouldn’t even say you were pretending.
2. Or hired someone to do it and gave the bill to you. ;)
Preacher, giving a sermon on Marriage - Don't raise your hands, but how many of you couples had some kind of fight on the way to church this morning?
Well, I want you to know my wife and I never fight on the way to church....We take separate cars.
Cream, and one sugar, darlin.
It is actually very nice if you are blessed with the right one.
Hard to find the “right one” though.
So very hard.
The wife will be thinking of something and then out of the blue ask my opinion on it...
wife: do you think the color blue would look good...
me: turn and stare...
wife: what you are staring at
me: you asked me a random question about the color blue
wife: Oh' you know what I'm talking about...
We did too....for 44 years. I miss that.
Yah, it’s not just her that I miss, it’s us that I miss.
