Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

Rules:

  1. Post examples of toxic heteronormativity only.

I never got the whole thing with "hate one's spouse" jokes. Like, marriage isn't mandatory these days. If you really, truly, don't like a person anymore or hate living with them, why remain together?

Old people. It's literally always old people that find them funny.

Yup! this is what we are here to make fun of, you are this community’s “target market”

My grandfather treated my grandmother this way in their entire 66 years of marriage. When we called him out on it he would give excuses about being entitled because they were married.

And of course these are the kinds of things he would share on Facebook. If they share memes like this they actually treat people like this.

I think this can be sarcasm in the right context. Probably not what this meme was about, I’m supposing

These "jokes" do not feel good if there's even a hint of seriousness.
