Like back when I was a teen me and my all female friend group would mockingly say "Like my wife? Am I right fellas?!" As a bit. Then we would all go HAW HAW like old men.

Typically at random shit like: "This chicken is dry, LIKE MY WIFE AM I RIGHT?!?" Trying to catch each other off guard.

"This cat is so cute. LIKE MY WIFE AM I RIGHT, FELLAS?!?"

Chicks rock.

I miss my highschool friends.

And my WIFE, AM I RIGHT FELLAS?!?" HAW!"

    My dad who was born in 1961 made/makes ironic wife jokes. They have and always did have a very egalitarian situation going on and fr, they're more or less on basically the same page all the damn time anyway, they're happily married as fuck. He either does an Archie Bunker or Al Bundy and sometimes one similar to Carl from Aqua Teen that he got from my Carl from Aqua Teen voice when doing so and it's been a family meme about similar crappy dudes calling their wife 'The Wife', it's laid on super thick and applied when it's clearly a joke. I think the intent behind some similar boomer comics are also that but it really doesn't work in print. You need to already be in a functioning marriage and also doing a voice.

      Wholesome. My partner and I have a lot of pretend arguments, which is really just one or the other person pretending to care too much about something insignificant. It's nice to vibe on that level.

        As a kid there were some downsides cause they were a very united front and it wasn't til I was an adult I got to see they did actually differ on opinion sometimes. I was an only child so it would always be 2 on one even if in retrospect knowing what I know now, sometimes one of em did agree with me sometimes. My family is also crazy WASPy and I'm not really sure they've ever experienced a strong emotion at all.

          Ya my parents had the united front thing too and I fecking hated it. I was actually jealous of divorced kids. In hindsight, I was probably wrong about most of it.

          My parents were emotionally immature. I do wish that maybe did therapy or something, because they pushed their weird issues into the rest of the family.
