Hilarious Wives Spill What It’s Really Like To Be Married

In movies and books, marriage is either depicted as being this wonderful, magical experience between a couple, or a dramatic, troubling story about how terribly hard everything is. In reality, there are a lot more mundane and dumb things that go on.

These wives tweeted the hilarious reality of what it means to be with their husbands.

If your wife's clothes at any point in time stop fitting her, just agree that they probably shrunk in the wash. It does not matter if she's owned them for years and has washed them hundreds of times.

One of the most tragic things about getting married is that you have to trust that one person to take almost all the photos you have of yourself for the rest of your life, and they are often so bad at it.

I don't know what it is about the way the female brain was created, but I feel like it's humanly impossible for us to actually admit to being angry rather than just saying "fine."

Listen, you don't need to tell me that it's selfish to ask for it when he clearly needs it more—I get that—but I also know that he, for some reason, always has his battery running on nearly empty while I freak out when I fall under 50%.

When you start dating someone who snores, you tell yourself that it is something minor and a flaw you can overlook. Years later, when you're married, you begin to wonder if you were wrong.
