    I’m as annoyed at those tired Boomer jokes as anybody… but is this meme in any way saying that?

        I wasn’t getting that vibe at all. Feeling sad because your wife is angry isn’t “wife bad.” It’s empathy. The meme just seems to be a joke about using unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with it causing a cycle of misery.
        In other words, my interpretation of the meme is more along the lines of acknowledging the self destructive cycles marriages often fall into via humor.

          Thank you! I realize this is late and no one else really cares, but it’s empathy, as you said.
