I’m not one for bashing husbands…but I am one for pointing out their inherent flaws and giving their poor, infinitely patient spouses a chance to realize that the struggle is, indeed, universal — they aren’t the only people married to a hopeless lug. We all are.
We might think we’re alone in our fight to get our hubbies to do their dishes, put their clothes away, and clean up their beard hair trimmings from the sink (you know, adult things ), but we’re really not.
So if you find yourself dealing with such a husband in your own marriage and want to feel seen, I think you’re really going to enjoy these quotes.

My hero.
This has the same sort of energy as when he finally puts his clean clothes away after you left the basket in front of his dresser…and then on his side of the bed…and then poured the entire basket of clothes right over top of him, screaming about how you’re never doing his laundry ever again.
Then he’s suddenly on his feet putting those clothes away like magic .
