14. Keys are key
And the search for them will bring you together.
Me- *on my actual deathbed*
My husband- Have you seen my keys?— Maryfairyboberry🧚🏻‍♀️ (@maryfairybobrry) April 7, 2021
13. Advice is often contradictory
You gotta listen for the notes they’re not playing.
If your wife tells you to do whatever you want, the last thing you should do (and I can’t stress this enough) is whatever you want.

12. Home safety is tantamount
You’ll want to make sure you’re performing routine checks.

10. There is a junk system
And it must be followed exactly.
My husband thinks he can just add random items to my junk drawer and I’m like HELLO THERE IS AN APPROVAL PROCESS

Of all kinds.

7. Communication is key

6. Designated toilets
It really speaks for itself.

5. There are dangerous games involved
And I’m not just talking about Monopoly.
my husband and I love to play “who can pile the most into the trash can without taking it out” and I can assure there are no winners here, just cursing, garbage covered losers

4. You don’t have to see everything
And some things are cursed.
My husband has seen me sick with the flu. He has seen me puking drunk. He has seen me grunting and moaning in childbirth.
But if he tries to watch me while I’m hopping around during my workout I will gouge his eyes out with spoons.

3. Vengeance takes many forms
And they are ugly as sin.
My husband pissed me off. I hope he enjoys looking for the remote that's hidden in my purse.

2. Your pets start to resemble you
And maybe a little bit vice-versa.
My dog just yawned while my husband was talking to him and I totally get it.

Truly, what would I do without you?

Husband: it really has
Me: I’ve thought about this a lot and I know I wouldn’t have got through it without-
H: aw babe
Me: -Schitts Creek
H: what?
Me: what?— MumInBits (@MumInBits) April 4, 2021
