You guys. Marriage is amazing.
And hard. And ridiculous. And hilarious.
Because no matter how great our relationship is, we all have those moments when we sit seething in anger over our partner’s insensitivity – whether in a moment of conflict or just an innocuous, unintentional comment at an unexpected time. It’s part of living in close proximity with another person for an extended period. Things happen.
And this thread on Instagram proves it.
Author Jen Hatmaker shared an off-the-cuff (and funny) thing her husband said. She’s a successful author and speaker, and her husband said to her, “It’s weird how people like you so much.” She quipped, “LOVE OF MY LIFE, FOLKS.”
What followed was a fantastically entertaining thread where a bunch of women chimed in with the hilariously insensitive things their own husbands have said throughout the years.
One woman wrote, “My husband once told me he loved ‘the purpley-gray I put under my eyes in the afternoons.’ Those would be BAGS, hun.”
Another woman’s husband told her, “I wish I had legs like yours…BECAUSE YOUR THIGHS ARE SO BIG AND SO STRONG!”
And yet another said to his wife that he married her “because she annoyed him less than everyone else.”
And those aren’t even the best ones. If you need a laugh (or just need to feel like your relationship is normal), take a few minutes and scroll through the thread. The responses are GOLD and I promise you’ll come away with just the pick-me-up you needed. Because even though the husbands’ comments weren’t intentional, they’re still funny.
Tip: If you read through this thread on the desktop version of Instagram, click on the “+” at the bottom to view additional responses. Personally I find it easier to navigate on the mobile app.
