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!"
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.
