‘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

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.

I believe the best humor comes from laughing at yourself, not others. Humor based on bashing others, whether loved ones, enemies or strangers, is like eating something that tastes good but leaves a bitter aftertaste.

She sounds like an angry man-hating lesbo.

Women are like telephones.
They love to be held.
They love to be talked to.
But, if you press the wrong button, you’re disconnected.

A man was invited for dinner at a friend’s house.
Every time the host needed something, he preceded his request to his wife by calling her “My Love”, “Darling”, “Sweetheart”, etc., etc.
His friend looked at him and said, “That’s really nice after all of these years you’ve been married to keep saying those little pet names.”
The host said, “Well, honestly, I’ve forgotten her name.”

She got married to punish her husband? I can’t believe he puts up with that kind of treatment.
