If they spent 5 minutes stating all the issues they’re having and then asked about my relationship - I wouldn’t look at them like an alien and start talking about great my partner is.
I would probably mention something inoffensive that annoyed me or talk about something going to happen (“We’re headed to LA in a few weeks”) just to change the subject. I certainly wouldn’t start stating all the great things about my partner because that’s just social incompetence in that context.
I mean you’re 100% right. Downvoters are just haters. This comic isn’t about the husband making her a social pariah through competence, it’s that she’s bad at socializing and reading the room.
Mostly the women complaining are just looking at having their feelings validated, you don’t need to share your own story to do that. If you’re asked to share a story you pick one that fits the theme. That’s just basic socializing.
I mean it’s also just a comic. Like it’s supposed to be a joke so it’s going to take liberties, but this conversation about it is weird lol.
Also venting is healthy… People forget that your spouse is also your roommate and it’s normal to have things you dislike about your roommate. Why wouldn’t it be normal to have things you don’t like about your spouse?
This is just immediately obvious to 99% of adults in long term relationships. There’s something about critically online 20-somethings that think disliking anything about your spouse makes you an asshole
