Man Asks For Advice About "Lazy Wife," And Women Respond Accordingly
Women globally flocked to the post with some of the best (and truly sincere) satire the Internet has seen in ages.
If you're a remotely sane person, there's a golden rule of the Internet, specifically Facebook: don't read the comment sections. Anything even slightly related to news, and we do mean slightly, is bound to be riddled with an onslaught of trolls, ignorant fools, or some devastating combination of both, all of which are guaranteed to help your faith in humanity fade deeper into oblivion.
Every once in a great while, however, the Internet delivers in an unprecedented way with a comment section of pure, priceless gold. Such was the case when a fan question prompted a discussion about a husband named Ben, who sought advice on his wife's lack of interest in home and family. Relationship expert Dr. Alexandra Solomon states, "Communication is key in any relationship; expressing feelings without blame can lead to understanding." Women globally flocked to the post, providing some of the best (and truly sincere) satire the Internet has seen in ages, showcasing the power of community in addressing personal struggles.
Oh, Ben. Poor, naive Ben.
My wife refuses to do any cleaning and takes no responsibility for the kids. What should I do? asks Ben.
Man Who Has It AllIt's biology, Ben.
You can't fight with scientific facts.
MWHIANow is not a good time, Ben.
In another 5 to 10 years, it will get so much easier.
MWHIA
Ah, the reward of "me time."
That one hour a week is more than enough time to completely recharge.
MWHIA
Scratching the minge.
Be grateful, duh.
MWHIA
It wasn't always like this.
Men used to be so much easier to manage with no Internet to complain to. Eye roll.
MWHIA
Be a giver to get yourself a receiver.
It's a classic pro tip.
MWHIA
I'm sure there are plenty of other dads in this situation.
Sometimes you just have to reach out to your community; your wife cannot do it all.
MWHIA
You should smile more.
It makes you look hunky.
MWHIA
Gosh, Ben.
She can't just imagine the answers; you have to guide her.
MWHIA
Have you checked yourself, Ben?
Your tone of voice may be problematic.
MWHIA
The differences between men and women.
Nature versus nurture, or some crap.
MWHIA
Surprise!
It just takes time and training.
MWHIA
Maybe you're just bad at time management, Ben!
Nap time is productivity time. Snap, snap.
MWHIA
Ugh, it's just that time of the month.
Ben always gets whiny around now.
MWHIA
You knew what you signed up for.
SHRUG.
MWHIA
Hashtag Not All Women
Looks like you just found a loser.
MWHIA
Ask for help, duh!
I'm sure your dad has nothing better to do, Ben.
MWHIA
It's her mother's fault.
Nobody taught her how to clean and rear children.
MWHIA
It could be worse!
Perspective, Ben. Perspective.
MWHIA
Don't micromanage her!
She is far too fragile for such things.
MWHIA
The Internet has a lot of useful advice, if you choose to seek it out, Ben.
All sorts of methods and lists.
MWHIA
Strike!
Refusing to do anything is a surefire way to get her attention.
MWHIA
Alas, Ben now knows the sting of regret.
Or rather, what a glimpse into the life of most stay-at-home moms, or just moms in general, is like. For every time a mother has asked a similar question, a barrage of very, very similar answers has ensued. Ben just got a taste of motherhood.
