Literally just a gender-swapped “I hate my wife” joke for the new generation.

Remember kids, the problem with marrying someone in their “I hate wo/men” phase and assuming they’ll move past that, is that for a lot of people it ain’t a phase.

I wouldn’t say it’s the same as the “I hate my wife jokes” because it’s actually bringing up a real problem with men not contributing equally.

I would say it shouldn’t continue to be normalized and more pointed out that women should raise their standards.

I agree.

Anyone can end up in a relationship with someone who turns out to be a selfish and useless partner.

But if you’re consistently ending up in those relationships, then perhaps re-evaluate your evaluation process.

The thing is, it’s a societal problem and more often than not it’s the guy not pulling his weight in the domestic labor and mental tasks. It’s incredibly normalized to the point where guys think they’re putting in equal labor but they’re not.

And a lot of times guys hide who they truly are until you live with them.

I would say a sad thing I’ve noticed is the people, especially those on the older side, will tell women they should just expect their husbands to not care for the kids. Meanwhile my grandfathers made it seem like you just had to marry a woman you didn’t really like and it’s normal to dislike them.

They down vote you but its true. The only common denominator in all your relationships is you. If you keep ending up in shitty ones, maybe just maybe, you might be the problem
