Yay a wholesome meme! Too many “wife bad marriage annoying” memes so this one is a breath of fresh air.
Edit: lot of salty dudes in the comments
Wife good. Marriage awesome.
If wife isn’t good then wife shouldn’t have been wife in the first place.
My wife’s dope.
Eh, life can change wife, life can change husband. Sometimes it's great for a couple years, then not. Doesn't mean wife not good. Just not the best fit anymore.
Why we talk like cavemen?
Me don't know. Boobs?
Yes.
You are wise for a perogi.
I'm legitimately surprised to find a comment thread on Lemmy with people in a healthy long term relationship, what a find
Work! Glory to your houuuuuuse!
And it's not one of those "wholesome" memes that's just shallow positivity
If only my wife would understand this.
There is never, ever, a time when seeing her naked wouldn't make my day better.
I'm a wife whose husband feels this way and let me just say, for a lot of heterosexual women (especially millennials; the 90's were rough for girls) it is very VERY hard to internalize this message, no matter how often we hear it.
But I'm trying! And it makes me so happy that he loves my body, so I don't get tired of hearing it, even if it's a little uncomfortable having to confront my low self esteem.
I see it in my wife too. The answer might be obvious, but why were the 90's so rough on girls?
If you could make it out of the 90s and early 2000s without an eating disorder as a girl god bless you. I was an early 2000s girl and it was an era of if you can’t see bones you are too fat. You spent most of your formative years learning how little you could eat and still make it through your day.
It has taken a lot for me to actually believe my boyfriend finds me attractive naked I always assumed he just said it to be nice.
Not OP but the 90s were about rail thin models and constantly being pushed products to lose weight and be "perfect". Clothes for larger sizes were harder to find as stores just didn't carry them and online ordering was in its infancy. Body positivity wasn't as much of a thing, if it existed at all.
The crazy thing is that a ton of men found the heroin sheik anorexic model thing totally gross. It seemed like media/corpos and women were in a feedback loop of profit/ self loathing that had next to nothing to do with what most people found attractive. Male portrayals during that age were equally gross, but even that seemed targeted at women. The corpo/male feedback loop was (and still is, to an extent) around embodiment and display of either quiet boy aesthetic or over the top and stereotypical masculinity. Seems like things are getting better but I’m sure my kid and her generation will suffer new variants of the same bullshit—maybe even more covertly through supposedly “independent” YouTubers etc.
heroin sheik
Yeah those Arab drug lords were really setting the trends...
Sorry, I had to haha.
I'm sure it must have been super isolating back then too. I grew up in the 90s and remember that any class would only have like 1 overweight kid. Parents probably didn't have a lot of empathy for it either, because they would have grown up in the 70s and were barely exposed to that at all.
I genuinely wish I could see myself (and my tits) the way my husband sees them. I don't think I'll ever get it but I'm glad they make his day.
Send her this comic
The author of this comic strip came to our house one time when I was little. He was visiting some family at Pickwick Lake (I think) and somehow came over to our house with some of my stepmom's friends. I absolutely couldn't believe it that somebody famous was there with us at our house. He seemed like a really nice person and he left a couple of doodles of our dogs and an autograph for me and my brother.
That's awesome! Most cartoonists seem like they'd be cool people in person.
(except notably the dilbert guy)
It seems to be a hit or very, very miss with cartoonists.
I kind of imagine Gary Larson would be a real life Mr. Bean
I just sent this to my wife and asked her what she thought it meant. She said "that you don't get bored seeing them every day". I corrected her and said "more to the point that even after seeing many sunsets, they are still beautiful and amazing".
"Just like a sunset, they get lower every time I look at them"... not to say they're not still beautiful haha.
and I thank my lucky stars to see each one. Life is short. When possible, ogle at your mate's bits, it's worth your time.
There's an episode of 'Malcolm In The Middle' where the job forces Lois to wear make-up. Hal sees her and and becomes feverish. Later on, she refuses to wear the make-up, comes home, and Hal sees her and becomes feverish.
Isn't that the same episode that Hal and Lois realized they never went more than a day without sex since they met, and spent the entire time avoiding each other?
Different one. In the one I'm talking about a customer solicits Lois, she marches him into her manager's office and makes him confess. She isn't not raging mad, to her it's just proof that the make up is demeaning. After she leaves it turns out the customer is the manager's brother in law.
There's also an episode where Hal and Lois can't have sex for a month. He paints the house, replants the yard, and gets a promotion at work...
I still softly say "booooobiesssss" around my wife in my perviest voice when she is nekked.
Real talk, is there Arlo and Janice rule 34?
Asking the real questions. I still remember seeing the black underwear in this strip when I was young and thought "... Damn".
It exists, so there is.
