Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In any relationship, the two people need to be on the same page. It's incredible the amount of times I heard a man say to me, defensively, 'it was a joke!' Well, buddy, usually people know whether someone is joking or not. If it comes out insulting, insinuating, or downright mean, don't try to convince me it's a 'joke.'

While in a partnership, it's also crucial to be curious about the other person. If you've already spoken for their side in your head, and you're determined that you don't need to discover them or explore a certain situation, then it will go nowhere. 

In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who went along with his wife's 'joke' a little too suddenly. Without asking her questions or having a reaction, his response to her silly joke about getting a divorce was 'sure.' I'm not sure what he expected from this reaction, but I hope no one ever dates him again when they do get their inevitable divorce.

    I got angry and said 'sure, door's that way, send me papers but make it fair' she stopped laughing and got sad, I am used to her sarcastic questions about it I would do something like this or that for her or absurdity like if I would jump off the hill for her etc, but I never saw this coming my way.

    elissebabyyy 1d ago. NTA. Your wife's "joke" crossed a line and it's unfair for her to expect you to beg and plead for her to stay after a cruel and drunk comment. Marriage takes mutual effort and respect, and it seems like your wife needs to work on those

    things instead of expecting you to constantly prove your love for her. Stand your ground and have a serious conversation about boundaries and communication in your relationship. Plus, let's be real, who jokes about divorce while drunk? That's not funny or acceptable.
