Warp That Aesop / Why Did I Get Married?

Go To

Why Did I Get Married?:

  • Women who are dealing with marital issues can depend on God, their friends, self-help books and other reliable sources to overcome their problems; men, on the other hand, are expected to just "man up" and get over it.
  • You can easily forgive your friend for both openly cheating on your other friend and blurting out all of your secrets to the point it causes trouble with your own marriages.
  • Losing around 25 pounds from being previously morbidly obese will cause your philandering fat-shaming ex-husband to begin to develop feelings for you again.
  • It doesn't matter how many times you get married, you still aren't allowed to have a last name.
  • Any attempts to tell your best friend about her philandering husband and her backstabbing friend having an affair behind her back will only make you out to be an obnoxious bitch by your other friends.
  • It’s completely normal for a grown woman to constantly shout and scream at/about her husband like a petulant child. Nobody will see her as immature at all.
  • Not wanting to have another child because of your demanding job makes you out to be selfish.
  • Any and all problems in a relationship is always solely the woman's fault. Puts her career first? Her fault. Doesn't want to cope with her emotions? Her fault. Is a loud, combative alcoholic? Her fault. Is morbidly obese and just so happens to actually be a caring and supportive wife even though you are an emotionally abusive cheater and overall Jerkass? You better believe that's her fault.
  • And while on the subject of emotional abuse and infidelity, don't bother assertively calling your friend out on his reckless behavior or defending your other friend; just grimace in "disappointment" and crack jokes at his expense.

Why Did I Get Married Too?:

  • Did choosing your career over your marriage and family directly cause the death of your son and indirectly cause the death of your husband? Who cares about that: you'll still get an undeserved happy ending while most likely getting nailed by The Rock, too!
  • Apparently, just being fat is enough to be labeled the ugly wife to your smoking hot husband, even though no one else gives you grief over it.
  • Stressing about being unemployed and getting upset at your wife’s (supposed) affair makes you out to be a big asshole.
  • Complain about your husband not having a good paying job, then complain more when he gets a job and is earning more money than you. This just proves that women can never be satisfied when it comes to their partners.
  • You can catch a thirteen foot fish with ease.
  • Aggressively yelling "fix it" at your friends going through marital problems will automatically fix said problems.
