    I mean, yes she is sad when I’m too exhausted for intimacy after pulling a long marking run. But, she quickly gets over it and we relax together.

    Funny thing about a good relationship - you find a way even when times are not so great.

    • Awkward, forced, fake sadness mixed with a dose of mania, while also possibly fighting an internal battle between the actual person in that body, and whatever force is currently controlling her because her man made a wish.

      (Go watch Obsession for more context)

      It’s the “ohhhh… Poor baby… I worked today too, but I’m less emotionally exhausted right now and you definitely deserve a pick-me-up blowjob after dinner tonight. I know you’ll return the favor and pound my ass when you’re feeling better and I’m down. We take care of each other. Now get in the sex swing and hold on tight.”

    I will never stop being amazed how the most boomer-as-fuck memes still get upvoted so much here.

      lemmy (and the fediverse in general) does seem to have a more even split of age groups compared to mainstream social media.

      i assume this is because the technical literacy that you need, little as it may be, is pretty indiscriminate against age.

      this would probably change the moment it became mainstream.

    In simple terms: This is only true if you have a stupid wife. However, being with a stupid person only reflects poorly on you, because you’re the one who made that decision and you’re still stuck in it.

      Let me say this in a better, more grounded way. It’s important to be with a partner that can compassionately and sympathetically understand your emotions, given that you’ve communicated them effectively and gently. Both partners should strive to understand the hardships, emotions, and stress the other experiences while knowing while they cannot know everything, they should be aware their partner could be mentally, physically, or socially displaced. Acknowledging your partner’s feelings is more than half the battle. Sometimes people just want to be seen and heard. Even men. Especially men, since they are often taught to not seek mental support or comfort. I say all this observing my father, mother, and brother (and everyone else of course, but I have a PhD in my family dynamics). I want to push them into therapy, but that’s not my job or necessarily the right thing.

        Nicely put. I simply tailored my way of speaking to the audience (judging by the image and the caption).

        Everything you wrote is of course true. However, I feel like you missed the essence of what I meant.

        People often pair up thoughtlessly, based on looks, based on instinct. This is biologically correct. After all, we are animals. However, we have one more trick up our sleeve. A very highly developed prefrontal cortex. It gives us the ability to delve into the personality of the person we intend to commit to for a longer period. We can talk to them, and we often also have the opportunity to see how they react in various situations, especially if we live with that person for a while. Then, after the decision has already been made, instead of moaning that “she looks at me nastily when I’m tired” or even worse “she looks at me nastily when I’m tired, and she doesn’t even work herself,” we can either try (based on mutual work within the relationship) to fix the situation or end the relationship. If, however, we did nothing to find out anything about our future partner, or worse, we just “went for looks and fuck the rest”, then we only have ourselves to blame.

        That’s why I always say that I couldn’t be with a stupid person, because that would reflect badly on me. Fortunately, I don’t have that problem in my relationship.

        So women are second class, is that it? Below men?

        According to a lot of current leaders of governments…yes. That’s kinda the whole point of women’s liberation movements all over the world throughout modern history.

        Also, punching down in comedy doesn’t mean the person is actually inferior to you, it just means that they unfairly have less power or representation.

        Wish you weren’t so fucking uneducated bud.

            No worries, it’s basically compulsive behaviour for me on lemmy. Unfortunately there’s a ton of misogynists on here who swear up and down they are “leftist”.

            Ironic that he’s from .ml considering women’s liberation has been foundational in every successful Marxist revolution in history.

          How is less power not being below? I feel like you want to mince words so you can be an ass about a joke based on technicality.

            Having less representation on a societal level does not make you an inferior person… It just means that the society you belong to sucks.

            I don’t think you were trying to make a joke, jokes are supposed to be funny.

          He has posted a bunch of memes today, he seems more like an unselective reposter than a “wife bad🤣” person. Isn’t the point of this meme more about the 14h (?!) shift and the problems it causes?

        I’ve actually lost a bit of faith in Lemmy lately after seeing a gross amount of conservative and incel talking points.

          Yeah, in regards to feminism this place is like half a step above Truth Central. So many but hurt men who reflexibly go into attack mode the second they feel ever so slight pushback.

            Nobody wants to have a debate about gender roles in a meme community you knob. Quit making every space about your virtue signalling

              Then i might suggest not posting memes about gender roles.

              Looking at the discussions in this post that seems to be something this post has inspired.
