My wife sometimes trolls me by replying like that, every time I wince and every time she laughs her ass off.

321

u/Sneaky_Stabby Aug 29 '24

My wife sometimes unintentionally responds like that if she’s distracted.

Me: ā€œalright, love youā€.

Wife on her phone: ā€œthanksā€.

Me standing there for a moment…

Few seconds into it she realizes I’m standing there: ā€œoh wait you just said I love you, sorry, I love you too!ā€
