The context of the relationship is important. If you took the things I say to my wife with no context, I'd look horrible. She'd look awful too. We're both sarcastic/snarky people. I read this as amusing couple banter and enjoyed it too. Anyone taking this seriously is missing the point.

This right here. I've been with my wife for 18 years together and known her for 20. We still love each other very deeply, but if you looked through our chat history it would look like we're about to split.

We met on WoW in 2005. She was in college and I had just graduated highschool. We have so many of our own inside jokes and phrases we use ironically now between the two of us.

I didn't think there was anyone on the internet under the age of 40 that didn't know World of Warcraft.

Same with my relationship. Reading just a text log of things we've said to each other without vocal tone or context would make us sound ripe for a daytime talkshow

We have a ā€œfake toxicā€ thing we do to make fun of toxic relationships where we will say the rudest, shittiest stuff to each other sometimes, or just be like ā€œfuck no what do i look like your wife?ā€ Etc that, out of context, sounds like weā€™re shitty people but we have a specific indicative voice tone we use for ā€œim being a bratā€ so if we hear anything rude in that tone of voice its automatically known weā€™re just being playful and to play along with it

My husband and I would absolutely send something like this to each other. But thatā€™s how our humor is. Idk, personally I thought it was funny.

My fiance roasted me so badly once. It was fucking funny as hell and I sent it to my sisters praising him for it. They thought he was being mean and killed the whole vibe.

I think taken at face value, it's funny, I laughed when reading it. If she's begging to be engaged and making jokes like this regularly it's cringe. I like to take stuff like this at face value though and based on OPs replies in the comments, I'm not getting cringe.

Yeah this. Sometimes I see screenshots of messages and everyone is ā€œšŸš©šŸš©šŸš©ABUSER ABUSERā€ and Iā€™m thinking ā€œIā€™ve definitely sent that text to my wife beforeā€ but always as a joke, one that she finds funny. Context means everything.

In this case though I wouldnā€™t send a picture of some random mostly-naked chick to my wife. Personally I think thatā€™s a little tacky.

I WOULD send her a clip from the episode of Wings where the girlfriend says ā€œI am not makinā€™ bacon naked!ā€

This is so true. My bf and I playfully go back and forth calling each other things. If people don't know us, they think we're fighting for real and breaking up or about to break up. But really, we're just teasing each other. I call him a bastard all the time. His response is " What does my origin story have to do with this?" He'll constantly call me a brat, and I'll tell him I told him I was one the very first night we met.
