«Tutti voi che siete single, ecco com'è essere sposati», l'incipit di un uomo che ha deciso di raccontare un singolo episodio riguardante la sua quotidianità insieme alla moglie e di usarlo per spiegare a chi ancora non ha un partner stabile cosa voglia dire la parola "matrimonio".
La provocazione è esplicita, e in effetti è stata colta prima di subito: il video è stato visualizzato un milione e mezzo di volte e ha raccolto più di 4mila commenti, scatenando un dibattito su chi abbia torto e ragione nella situazione descritta dal marito, Nathan.
Ecco com'è andata, secondo il racconto dell'uomo.
@ntimmel Daily Snark 11/29/23 Marriage “Nathan,” eagle-eyed subscribers ask, “didn’t I see this video on your page for about five minutes yesterday?”
Indeed you did!
That’s what I get for trying to schedule things out in advance. Anyway, marriage. The blessed union of two souls who fall truly, deeply, madly in love, and then ten years later (if they’re lucky), can’t stand the sound of one another chewing. We think, “Why am I stuck with this person, when there are endless possibilities out there waiting for me?!” Then we remember, “Oh, right. No one else is even remotely interested in me.” Ha!
I kid, because I love my wife. But seriously, she calls people just to chit-chat. Does it all the time, in fact. When I call, it’s with purpose. I have a reason I’ve picked up my phone and tapped away at those digits. I need information. Hence the kerfuffle right before Thanksgiving. Admittedly, in reality, this was a big nothing. But, I need daily content, and if I can exaggerate things a little to make them (hopefully) slightly amusing, so be it. I told this story on stage this past weekend. Got big laughs on Friday, and middling laughs on Saturday. It’s a little better live, because I’m not constrained (confined) to one minute, so hopefully I’ll have a decent recording of it someday. #marriagehumor #marriage #husbandwife #women #humor #story #relationships ♬ original sound - nathan timmel
