Yay a wholesome meme! Too many “wife bad marriage annoying” memes so this one is a breath of fresh air.

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

My wife’s dope.

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 59 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 use many word, when few word do trick.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trick is what whore do for money

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And you should change if you wanna keep your marriage alive. I always wonder why society considers change to be something bad.

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm still suffering. But it was the best decision given the situation.

All relationships require work to keep alive, whether it be romantic, platonic, or familial.

[–] Lt_Worf@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago

You are wise for a perogi.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] SnipingNinja 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But I already have a best friend

Although I agree in practice, the pedant in me thinks that best is exclusive to a singular entity.

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

You can like two people just as much, but for different reasons.

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

Suit yourself but life’s definitely more fun when you open yourself up to friends

[–] SnipingNinja 1 points 1 year ago

I did say I agree in practice

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It’s because the thread starts out all negative, everyone contributes with their negativity, if you come in and say that your wife’s great and y’all are best friends, everyone jumps down your throat and gets nasty. Who’d sign up for that?

Edit: case in point right here lmao. Sorry y’all have such bad relationships with your wives.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly I think a large portion of lemmings are single and bitter and it shows. This one is a nice change

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

Are we lemmings ? I assumed we were lemurs

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This comment is the only negative thing I have seen in the whole thread besides the wierdo right on the bottom

Work! Glory to your houuuuuuse!

[–] Asclepiaz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Husband good, marriage awesome. 12 years this month ❤️

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago

69 upvotes. Nice.

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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

I agree! Before I left reddit, there was this comic that basically spammed the sad comics subreddit before being exiled to its own. It was called "Marriage is Bliss" and I absolutely hate it. It's all about how horrible the wife is and how pathetic the husband is, and how much his life sucks. This strip is sweet, I like it. I can relate to it.
