Yay a wholesome meme! Too many “wife bad marriage annoying” memes so this one is a breath of fresh air.
Edit: lot of salty dudes in the comments
Wife good. Marriage awesome.
If wife isn’t good then wife shouldn’t have been wife in the first place.
My wife’s dope.
Eh, life can change wife, life can change husband. Sometimes it’s great for a couple years, then not. Doesn’t mean wife not good. Just not the best fit anymore.
Why we talk like cavemen?
And you should change if you wanna keep your marriage alive. I always wonder why society considers change to be something bad.
It’s dead, Jim.
We diverged in different directions and split up in friendship. There’s no shame in ending something before both hate eachother.
Nono sure. I wasn’t referring to a specific example. I just see relationship as sth that needs growth and change and not as a never-changing system that has to be kept the same at all costs.
And yeah change can also lead to speration, which also doesn’t have to be bad. Like in your example.
I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m still suffering. But it was the best decision given the situation.
You are wise for a perogi.
i like the saying that your partner should also be your best friend
If ur partner is not your best friend then why are they your partner?
But I already have a best friend
You can have more than one
Although I agree in practice, the pedant in me thinks that best is exclusive to a singular entity.
Work! Glory to your houuuuuuse!
I’m legitimately surprised to find a comment thread on Lemmy with people in a healthy long term relationship, what a find
Husband good, marriage awesome. 12 years this month ❤️
69 upvotes. Nice.
And it’s not one of those “wholesome” memes that’s just shallow positivity
Must be miserable being you then!
wtf ?
TIL it is shallow positivity to compliment and appreciate your wife. Y’all are fucking miserable. I’d hate to interact with anyone like you in real life.
I think you misread the comment that you originally replied to. They are saying exactly the opposite of what you are saying here. “It’s NOT […] just shallow positivity”
Still a tad cynical, though, since even the “shallow” wholesome memes still have good intentions most of the time (spreading a tiny bit of positivity is better than spreading negativity)
You’re replying to the wrong person
Wife still annoyed, dont think its that wholesome.
Wife often annoyed. Can’t fix everything. Wife know me love her, wife still let me see after shower. Is wholesome.
That good wife.
I don’t think she’s annoyed, just sort of neutrally going about her business.
She doesn’t seem annoyed, more like perplexed.
The author of this comic strip came to our house one time when I was little. He was visiting some family at Pickwick Lake (I think) and somehow came over to our house with some of my stepmom’s friends. I absolutely couldn’t believe it that somebody famous was there with us at our house. He seemed like a really nice person and he left a couple of doodles of our dogs and an autograph for me and my brother.
That’s awesome! Most cartoonists seem like they’d be cool people in person.
(except notably the dilbert guy)
It seems to be a hit or very, very miss with cartoonists.
I kind of imagine Gary Larson would be a real life Mr. Bean
/c/thathappened
I just sent this to my wife and asked her what she thought it meant. She said “that you don’t get bored seeing them every day”. I corrected her and said “more to the point that even after seeing many sunsets, they are still beautiful and amazing”.
“Just like a sunset, they get lower every time I look at them”… not to say they’re not still beautiful haha.
can’t tell if you’re referring to breasts there or saggy old guy scrote. ballsack drag is real.
ballsack drag is real.
Sounds like someone needs Scrotox!
and I thank my lucky stars to see each one. Life is short. When possible, ogle at your mate’s bits, it’s worth your time.
There’s an episode of ‘Malcolm In The Middle’ where the job forces Lois to wear make-up. Hal sees her and and becomes feverish. Later on, she refuses to wear the make-up, comes home, and Hal sees her and becomes feverish.
Isn’t that the same episode that Hal and Lois realized they never went more than a day without sex since they met, and spent the entire time avoiding each other?
Different one. In the one I’m talking about a customer solicits Lois, she marches him into her manager’s office and makes him confess. She isn’t not raging mad, to her it’s just proof that the make up is demeaning. After she leaves it turns out the customer is the manager’s brother in law.
There’s also an episode where Hal and Lois can’t have sex for a month. He paints the house, replants the yard, and gets a promotion at work…
The second one was the one I was thinking of. I remember both now that you spelt the plots out
Real talk, is there Arlo and Janice rule 34?
Asking the real questions. I still remember seeing the black underwear in this strip when I was young and thought “… Damn”.
It exists, so there is.
Nice
If only my wife would understand this.
There is never, ever, a time when seeing her naked wouldn’t make my day better.
That is incredibly wholesome! I wish for you to continue to have many happy years together!
Send her this comic
I’m a wife whose husband feels this way and let me just say, for a lot of heterosexual women (especially millennials; the 90’s were rough for girls) it is very VERY hard to internalize this message, no matter how often we hear it.
But I’m trying! And it makes me so happy that he loves my body, so I don’t get tired of hearing it, even if it’s a little uncomfortable having to confront my low self esteem.
I feel this so hard, I know my husband loves my body but I don’t 😭
Yup! Very true.
I still softly say “booooobiesssss” around my wife in my perviest voice when she is nekked.
She sounds annoyed outside, but inside she’s creaming herself
Booooo! Not funny
Slightly off topic but is there a name for this boomer art style? I don’t mean just this artist in particular, but any comic/illustration that is very clearly made by a geriatric.
Andy Capp style
Slightly off topic, but is there a name for this juvenile word crafting style? I don’t mean just your words in particular, but any sentence/paragraph that is very clearly made by some kid.
Classic boomer comic
