I asked my bf as a joke why he never refers to me as his wife (we have a friend who does this with his gf) and he said it’s “because I’m more of a husband” how offended should I be.

I’m realizing I typed this from my pov and that may be confusing. He said “because you’re more of a husband” to me

Do I beat him

I wouldn’t be offended. There’s a lot of gendered stereotypes around husband wife roles, so he could be referencing any one of them. Like it could be because you do things that stereotypically fall to the husband (car stuff, fixing stuff, finances, acting as a “protector”), bring home more money, or “wear the pants” in your relationship. Oc all of these stereotypes are incredibly sexist, but prevalent enough where him calling you the husband could be him saying you are capable and independent.

I am extremely “feminine” in terms of presentation and hobbies which was why it was surprising. but I am also queer and our relationship does not follow gender roles a lot of times so it sorta makes sense. To be clear I am not actually offended at all I thought it was funny. This post is a joke

If you put something in quotes, it should be read in quotes. Also, how pretentious would you have to be to comment this?

Quotes imply the author meant to quote what someone else was saying as in literally repeat what THEY said, so in this case it’s absolutely correct to think the husband said I’m instead of you’re because that’s what she literally put that he said. If she wasn’t going to quote him directly she shouldn’t have used quotes. It’s not our fault you guys don’t know how quotes work. Because she could’ve also kept the quotes and put the I’m in parentheses to show that that wasn’t actually said by the

Person being quotes but there’s still the issue of her switching the point of view she’s using from his pov by using quotes to randomly throwing in one word that’s from her pov which is just wrong. Now using quotes when you’re not quoting someone obviously changes things but that wasn’t the case here making her usage wrong and unclear because of her errors. Do they not teach younger people grammar correctly or the same anymore?? Cause y’all be doing some really stupid things like op right now

Baby girl that's why I responded to "beestboy" because my response was to them, since they want to call people illiterate for knowing how quotes work and grammar rules. You absolutely corrected your mistake with your comment and good for you on doing that and not blaming others for not understanding because of a legitimate mistake you made like that other person is doing. My meanness wasn't directed towards you at all!! You did back them up a bit afterwards but l'll overlook that since you did

Correct yourself first loll. Sorry you thought that was meant for you but like I said that's why my comment shows I'm replying to that other person and not you because that's who I was really directing myself to.

Oh this! I mean it was a silly mistake given you were using quotes but I’m sorry for offending you by having called your mistake a really stupid thing. That other person had me heated with having the nerve to call people knowing the rules and being correct about grammar illiterate, I apologize!

Btw my comment doesn’t mean I think you’re stupid but rather that they have you guys doing things that are seen by us that are some years older stupid given what WE were taught in the grammatical area. Like I also saw a post where someone said they’ve taught you guys the Oxford comma isn’t necessary like what???? That’s insane to me!

That’s wild. No I was throughly taught grammar. The embarrassing thing is I’m actually at the top of my writing classes. I just type very casually and quickly on yikyak bc tbh, who wants to spend precious minutes of their life proofreading a yikyak post
