MODERATORS
99% of marriage is sharing stuff you find and 1% asking if they heard you.
you clearly have not met my grandparents with hearing issues. it's like 50% "HUH?" and another 50% "how do you expect to hear me if you don't put your hearing aids in??"
But when you take them out your ears are so COMFY and nobody YELLS at you and you can’t hear your husband’s STUPID looping tiktok videos playing from the next room.
Source: hearing aid haver who sometimes takes them out at home or streams podcasts through them and just communicates through pantomime and lipreading despite my husband’s patient exasperation.
you can use hearing aids as normal earphones? :0 that's so neat!
Yup! They have tons of cool features nowadays. It’s a lot like wearing discreet earbuds with really good noise cancellation capabilities. They cost so fucking much though, and in the US a lot of insurance providers don’t cover them or will only cover a small percentage of the cost.

“Where is the …..?”
Yeah but now I know all about dehumidifiers, what are you bringing to the relationship, Blair?
Desicant dehumidier.

My wife interrupts me, then makes me wait for the video to loop around to the start so she can make me watch it on her phone. Often it doesn't start correctly, so she has to try again. Invariably, by the time it actually plays for me, it doesn't live up to the effort that went into showing it.
If I want to share a video with her, I just send her the link via text like a human being. She can watch it when she wants to, or just ignore it.
Tell her to swipe to the next video, then swipe back. That will cause it to restart. Learning this little trick saved my marriage, and my life, because if I had to listen to that stupid fucking music slathered all over every damn video even just 1 more time, I was going to either have a fatal stroke, or go on a murder spree.

It's okay, the trade deal is YouTube videos on his phone, tiktoks from hers.
I purposely never joined Instagram. No one warned me about the amount of Instagram I would be shown after marriage. Even worse: the amount of abrasive and caustic noise pollution I have to hear next to me in bed from 5 second snippets of people's concert/wedding video shorts on Instagram.
My husband is constantly watching tiktok. The 5 second looping identical dumbshit music clips with screeching car noises on top will drive me to violence some day.

Your information is out of date. It's actually so much worse now: we've got bros out here trying to get people to look at their slopgen videos. 😒

Looks to be like you're barely a day old

Congrats. I remember being where you are now.
Not sure what your plan is, but I used PowerDeleteSuite to spoil my reddit comments.

Married 34 years. Can't say I've ever been forced to watch videos on my husband's phone. Although if he's splitting a gut, I usually ask if I can watch it. Married doesn't mean attached at the hip or phone.
What is “splitting a gut”?
Committing sepuku. It's the wife's responsibility to stitch a man back up after doing this.
wow can't even get out of husband stitching duty through seppuku? expectations are so high
Laughing so hard as to cause abdominal cramping
Uncontrollable laughter
It's only 37 minutes of technical off-road driving get over it
My wife actually agreed to watch the new Naked Gun movie with me and managed to restrain the urge roll her eyes through most of it. That's how I know I am loved. 🥰
I'm really looking forward to seeing that
I don't get it.
She wants to get married, but apparently men constantly show videos on their phones, which she doesn't want.
Is that a thing? Maybe I don't know enough guys? The only person insisting on showing me videos on their phone is my wife so...
Or maybe she thinks it's an SO thing. I guess that would make more sense, now I think about it. For sure, my wife is the only person I tolerate this nonsense from.
It's an exaggeration. A joke. People often force their favorite videos on other people and it sucks.
Two minutes in: Wait, wait! It's about to get good!

but what if that video is about a master craftsman transforming an old book into a genuine masterpiece? it's only 2h 🥺
I love Four Keys! So I'd be able to get out of watching it on your phone by saying I've seen the whole series! =D
but have you watched nerdforge book making yet? (makes custom novels to present to the author in this video)
I'm actually reading The Way of Kings right now! XD
that just sounds like a challenge to find something you haven't seen >:)
Weird seeing a post from her, I was just watching an old Trevor Moore show with her on it.
No I promise this one is really good!
On the opposite end it's dogs for some reason.
I want a relationship, but I don't ever want to live with a dog. Apparently that's literally impossible if women's profiles on dating sites can be extrapolated to the general population of women lol
I had an ex where I literally made a rule she could only show me five dog pictures per day.
my wife wanted a dog until we had a kid. I don't think she's willing to take on any additional responsibilities at this point.
So... Jeez... I guess my advice is "make a lot of rules and try knocking them up" ... But somehow that doesn't seem like good advice...
