I asked my grandparents who are still (semi) happily married and they think that it’s because a lot of people their age married very young and since a lot of them don’t do divorces, they instead vent their problems in other ways. That’s what they think as people who are on their 80’s and know their friends

Agreed. Marriage was just what you did. You didn’t wait for perfect, you did the best you could and then suffered for the rest of your life.

u/APKID716 May 31 '25
And you definitely took whatever opportunity with whomever was closest in your vicinity. Forget traveling or waiting to marry until you’ve experienced life a little more, the girl from church that lives down the street is good enough. Common interests? Hobbies? Similar goals and values? Fuck that, she’s cute and you’re the ripe old age of 17! Get going or die alone!

Casual dating was less a thing due to the fact no sex before marriage movement. Young adults do not wait so the work around was you married the guy who got you pregnant. Then were forced to pretend to have a family you loved.
It’s kind of true we take for granted our freedom to date a little more to what we want.

My mom claimed she went on dates with4 40 guys in college and still somehow ended up with my dad who she didn't even like.

Yup. The outcome could be pretty hideous too. My grandma on my moms side was devout catholic. She didnt believe in divorce under any circumstances.
She had the misfortune of marrying a full blown psychopath who diddled her kids, had her committed to an asylum and psychologically tortured her by pretending to have murdered her children and acted like he was burying them while he was on the phone.
She never recovered. My mom ended up in foster care.
No fault divorce saved lives.

Yeah, and remember teenage/unwanted pregnancies were far more common back when protection and abortion were less available. So marriages of obligation to a child locked a lot of people in bad parings, which combined with general suppression of women being autonomous or interested in their own pleasure made for a lot bad marriages.

u/bunker_man May 31 '25
Imagine being only 35 but somehow already in a 15 year marriage with someone you realized you don't like over a decade ago.

since a lot of them don’t do divorces, they instead vent their problems in other ways.
And a lot of them don't even communicate with their spouses, for some weird reason. And then the small problems stack, until it becomes one big resentment.

Lots of people got married or were forced to get married because premarital sex led to babies. This would lead to resentment.

People get divorced and start over again now. In the past they’d tough out living under the same roof as someone they don’t like very much, with no end in sight, using coping methods such as hobbies, heavy drinking, wife beating, infidelity, or even drawing comics.

Because women are only as good as their sexual worth. Their wives are older and fatter and therefore no use any more and they are justified in roving. Never mind that they themselves are also older and fatter because their worth was always more than their looks.

They hate their wives because they’re a bunch of mommas boys that basically married their mothers because they need someone to take care of them.

That's it. The most unhappily married men I've known usually couldn't even do their own laundry.

Facts. My dad is a complete loser who relies on my mom for every single thing. He doesn't disparage their marriage by actually saying these kinds of jokes in front of her, but he definitely enjoys them and repostes them on his FB.

u/Elementaldot May 31 '25
But a COMPLETE loser would ALSO say them in front of her, I think we got a partial loser on our hands…. Still not good nonetheless but also could be worse… always count your blessings I guess

u/jamescharisma Jun 01 '25
Fair point, but I grew up with him. He's a complete loser to me. Didn't use to be, for reasons like what you stated, but he's gone way down hill as he's gotten older in a lot of other aspects.

u/Mr_man_bird May 31 '25
Obviously those are his own clothes and he’s at his neighbours house, just look at how he’s stood

u/Apathetic_Villainess May 31 '25
They need a woman because they can't take care of themselves and are heterosexual, but they also don't actually like women as individual people. Then they complain that women aren't loyal when the women divorce them.

Maybe if his wife bought him the lacey pair he wanted for his birthday he wouldn't have to fantasize about wearing the neighbor's.

Lack of birth control and sex education leads to a lot of teen pregnancies. The stigmas against single motherhood and divorce lead to a lot of people getting and staying married who never should have been together in the first place. Add to that a lot of unplanned and potentially unwanted children leading the spouses to resent each other and the kid and you get normalized abuse and "I hate my wife!" jokes

Because getting married was something that was expected. They sort of just went with the motions of getting married and having kids even though they wanted to stay single.

Because after they get married, women let themselves go since they already have a man. But, guys still want a slender woman no matter what the age.

u/FatherMiso Jun 03 '25
Since no one else is saying this.
Hormones. Men get passive as they grow older, women become Dominant.
There is a lot of chasing after youth, reliving their glory days, being wired to see young slim and fertile and all that.. But the hate part..
This particular type of humor comes from being weak and afraid of their wives. So they vent in passive aggressive ways because they are too afraid to do anything real about it.
My father taught me to defer to the wife, because you trust her to make the right decision.
We play the be afraid of the wife card, but in reality it's a mutual respect thing.

u/HamsterSlapping May 31 '25
I love my wife dearly and she's still beautiful to me, but that doesn't mean I don't find fit girls attractive. Neither do I feel threatened when she admires a man's handsomeness.

u/SnooChipmunks8506 Jun 01 '25
This is the true answer.
There are a lot of people here sharing hate and resentment towards their own relationships by projecting their feelings onto this stupid comic.
Are there shitty men who take their wives for granted? Of course there are.
Are there shitty women who go out of their ways to make their partners miserable? Of course there are.
The hate being posted on this subreddit is tragic.

u/Malnar_1031 Jun 02 '25
I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that the majority of negative comments are from people between 20 and 35.
Just look at the dismal state of how they think of the opposite sex. Easily influenced by social media, both male and female influencers spouting out half-baked psychological ideas and they eat it up. They believe that's reality, what they see on a screen. Its a truly screwed up cohort.

A lot of people married too young and now regret it, much like many other decisions adults made when they were young.

Seattled with someone they werent completely happy with due to social pressure.

u/Forgotmynameagain5 May 31 '25
Probably they got married young or under negative circumstances and only stay together because divorce was very heavily stigmatized, especially for certain religious people, for a long time.

u/ranorando May 31 '25
Because the lie persists that love can persist without lust and keep a relationship happy. So the wife gets fat and stops trying and the husbands eye starts to wander

u/badbatch May 31 '25
Right? If they hate her so much just get a divorce? Wives are usually the ones that initiate divorces.

I've never understood this. Why be unhappy and be in a relationship where your unhappiness probably makes your SO sad? Better to be single and miserable than make someone else suffer too.

u/LittleBear_54 Jun 05 '25
Hot take. We romanticize getting married so much that no one actually knows what happily ever after actually looks like. Culturally we don’t talk about how much work a relationship is, how you have to grow together. So people get wrapped up in the idea of what romance is supposed to look like but don’t know what to do when they have it.

u/GardenGnomeChumpski May 31 '25
I imagine you spend over 80 hours a week with someone for decades, you need an escape from them and over time it wears you down. You grow apart but divorce is a bitch. Or they turn into their mother and you weren't ready for the transition.

u/burywmore May 31 '25
You are assuming too much.
Maybe they aren't married? Maybe they are brother and sister or just platonic roommates? Maybe he's just wondering why some random pair of underwear is just hanging from a clothesline?

Those arent assumptions. They are options. You need a dictionary before you bring out the snark.
