‘When I tell Jon off, I’m telling all men off’: Lucy Beaumont and Jon Richardson’s guide to lockdown marriage
MSN ^ | April 7, 2021 | Emily Baker

Posted on 04/07/2021 5:21:38 AM PDT by C19fan

Spending lockdown with anyone is hard, but spending lockdown with Britain’s third favourite funnyman1 feels like being one of the final contestants on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, or that weird final hour in Big Brother, where there is an undeniable shared sense of having gone through something difficult together, but also a competitiveness because only one of them can take away the huge pot of money. The huge pot of money in this case would be my divorce settlement.

We argue nearly every day. It takes its toll on Jon, but for me it’s just self-expression. When I tell Jon off for something I’m not just telling him off, I’m telling all men off. I am showing solidarity with the female struggle. I feel the gaze of my female ancestors as I do so because I’m doing it for them. Their life was being bound to household chores (a lot like Jon’s in fairness) but the fact is that deep down nothing has changed between men and women in terms of gender equality and that’s why I don’t let Jon get away with anything2.

What a Beta or Simp this husband is. Perhaps there is some humor I am missing. I would hand this article to all young single men and ask "Do You want This?". I cannot think of a better boost to Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) then this article.

MGTOW are just simps to feminism.

FTA:

The problem is the mood only swings for a window of about four days and then I’m back to being irritated by him.

And :

...we’re never going to change. This is us – in fact, this is everyone.

Uhh no.

I've been WFH for over a year now, and my wife is with me 24/7. No irritation at all.

Lucy's cute... But not THAT cute to put up with that crap.

Hit the bricks chicky... I already packed your crap for you.

Can’t believe I wasted the time reading the whole thing, but I did. It’s just a dumb promo for their TV series. They are both comedians, so it’s not clear how much of it is made up and how much describes their real lives. Certainly there are women and men that think and act like that, but who knows what’s going on here.

In some states, he’d probably be out in under 10 years if he took care of the problem. Or he’s young enough to cut his losses and start over. No mention of kids.

This read is a cure for anyone who has been feeling especially lonely and sorry for themselves through our fascist lockdown.

Geez people - it’s just a lame attempt at humor to sell their insipid little domestic streaming product.

And I do mean insipid, as this ‘husband bashing’ humor is long dead.

Agreed. I would say to this author “What do you mean ‘We’ Kemosabe?”

My wife is a saint for putting up with me, no doubt at all there, but...it is a two way street. And we have been working to make the best of this BS.

Marriage is work.

I was okay with that when Phyllis Diller tortured her long suffering husband “Fang”...but what we see in society now...

Many women (and women’s culture) is out of control.

Sounds like a good strategy to keep a marriage together.

Great lady, but even she outlived her own joke.

She sounds like a real joy to live with. I’ll take shrieking harpies for $50, Alex.

When she says that, the only appropriate response is, “Saying that makes your butt look bigger.”
