The Internet Is In Stitches Over Hysterical "Wife Fails"

Marriage: the lifelong commitment we give to one person we want to spend the rest of our lives loving. It can be one of the best things in life to share everything with someone who understands, loves, and wants to support you.

The highs, the lows, and the more regularly experienced mundane events throughout each and every day. It makes no difference if everything is smooth sailing or if there are rough seas; you can count on at least that one person to have your back.

However, that also means there will almost always be at least one person to witness when we inevitably do something utterly stupid. It’s just an unavoidable part of life that we will make several bad decisions.

Thanks to the internet, spouses have been able to widely share some of the more harmless but hilarious mistakes their beloved has made. And while it’s an old trope that husbands are a sort of bumbling idiot, we wanted to challenge that trope with some epic fails made by wives.

Because it’s not that one specific gender or partner in a marriage is better than the other or more competent. We’re all human, and there isn’t a single one of us who is perfect 100% of the time.

So, continue scrolling to see some of the internet’s best-shared wife fails.

What makes these captured fails even more enjoyable is how clear they weren’t shared with the intention of embarrassing their wives any further. Sometimes, being able to laugh at our embarrassment is the best way to relieve the sting.
