It's an unfortunate fact that there are a lot of not-so-great marriages out there. These can occur for many reasons, but a common issue that crops up is the husband who expects his wife to be his maid and mommy rolled into one. The man child is a phenomenon that a lot of women put up with in their lives.

The good news is, it seems like some of the men who have this attitude have given up on trying to find a partner to make miserable. The bad news is that they're being annoying about it on social media.

When one man took to Twitter to announce that buying a dishwasher, pressure cooker and washing machine had relieved him of the need to have a wife, people reacted harshly. Joke or not, it's definitely a revealing way to be talking about relationships that many find off-putting, no matter what their gender.
