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.

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If wife isn’t good then wife shouldn’t have been wife in the first place.

My wife’s dope.

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

i like the saying that your partner should also be your best friend

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If ur partner is not your best friend then why are they your partner?

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But I already have a best friend

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

You can have more than one

Husband good, marriage awesome. 12 years this month ❤️

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm legitimately surprised to find a comment thread on Lemmy with people in a healthy long term relationship, what a find

[–] Spike@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wife still annoyed, dont think its that wholesome.

[–] JungleJim@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wife often annoyed. Can't fix everything. Wife know me love her, wife still let me see after shower. Is wholesome.

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

That good wife.

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And it's not one of those "wholesome" memes that's just shallow positivity

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

Must be miserable being you then!

If only my wife would understand this.

There is never, ever, a time when seeing her naked wouldn't make my day better.

[–] havokdj@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That is incredibly wholesome! I wish for you to continue to have many happy years together!

[–] Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Asclepiaz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I feel this so hard, I know my husband loves my body but I don't 😭

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.

[–] Lt_Worf@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

That's awesome! Most cartoonists seem like they'd be cool people in person.

(except notably the dilbert guy)

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".

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Pogbom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

"Just like a sunset, they get lower every time I look at them"... not to say they're not still beautiful haha.

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.

I still softly say "booooobiesssss" around my wife in my perviest voice when she is nekked.

[–] JuzoInui@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

She sounds annoyed outside, but inside she’s creaming herself
