It's a central part of any relationship

I got married even though it meant waiting for every restaurant meal to be photographed and posted to Instagram before I could take a bite.

My wife tells me dad jokes. Really really terrible dad jokes. Ones that make me roll my eyes, and I'm a dad. That's how bad they are. But they make her laugh so I'm ok with that.

My wife shows me wayyyy more videos on her phone than I show her on mine

Most of the stuff I share is still images/comics/gifs etc

Nah, I'm too Gen X to watch videos on my phone, let me pull it up on my laptop.

I showed this to my girlfriend and she was like, "I don't get it, why are you showing this to me?"

babe wake up new 3 and a half hour video essay about plagiarism just dropped

I believe, it's possible to marry women, then you don't have to watch videos on a man's phone. 🙃

More like having a phone shoved to your face to see a meme that is mildly entertaining at best.

My Chinese girlfriend makes me watch Chinese Xiahongshu (think Instagram reels) videos on her phone with a cracked screen with her. No, I do not understand Chinese.

And I don't want to be made to watch TikTok videos.

I don't get it.

If i know you and you're in my general vicinity youre gonna be watching a YouTube video even if you're married to someone else i'm a slut that way

A man can get into a lot of trouble, if he doesn't watch the endless tiktok reals with enthusiasm and excitement.

Showing me the weird shit you watch on YouTube is a requirement for me, I want to know what videos you watch when you're alone and bored with nothing to do.

So just get married, and watch videos on your wife's phone.

Astonishing that there are dipshits who managed to be offended even by this.

My wife is incapable of not showing me an escalating series of inane youtube videos unless I get rather firm about it.

There's plenty other reasons that disqualify me from marriage but sharing videos on my phone is not one of them

"I either don't want people to be interested in or excited about things or I want to gatekeep how they gain their interests"

Relationships are about compromise.

But yeah, maybe not worth it.

My ex would blast Instagram stories while I’m watching a show on tv. That’s fucking annoying

Are you kidding me? My fb chat with my wife is nothing but memes and videos from her

I guess people don’t know the stand-up comedian Blair Socci yet. She’s kind of funny but I have a feeling this was an idea for a joke that isn’t fully formed. A lot of comedians use social media to workshop their stuff…

Seems like there is a solution she hasn't considered. Marrying a woman who has and uses her own phone. It won't be "a man's phone" then.

Babe, wake up! NEW ROMAN AQUEDUCTS LORE JUST DROPPED!

Don't have a kid. You'll be made to watch videos on their phone. For hours' worth of your life.

Wow at least i have adblock and sponsorblock some people rawdog youtube and that frightens me.

That's why I send my memes to my wife's phone. so she can view them on her own phone.

I'm classy. I make my partner wait while I get it on the TV so they don't have to move.

What's wrong with men's phones? Is she afraid of fucking cooties?

Me: "Remind me, which ingredients do we need again?"

Spouse: hands me a 10 minute youtube video

I'm a man who hates watching videos on my phone, but I'm already married. I'll ask around tho.

this is a peeve of mine. we all have these incredibly connected mobile communicators. we all know how to copy and paste a link. if you want me to watch something, send me a link. im happy to review on my device but damn do i hate looking at anyone elses screen.

But then you get to show him all your videos on your phone

Xor?

If you can’t handle my 20-minute Fat Electrician videos, you don’t deserve me watching your reality television shows with you.

There's this nifty feature on phones now where you can send a link to the other person's phone. My wife and I text each other stuff from the internet all day long.

then why are you even getting married

If only there was another option... kinda like a gal pal that would do that weird thing with the wisk and the cattleprod, and didn't try to show you their monster truck videos on a broken Galaxy 4.

Ah well, that must not exist, guess that's that.

You seem like a lot of fun

I have a strict no videos policy.

Casual sexism is so cute and quirky.

That's what screen projection is for

Its cool, we can watch them on the TV instead

Yeah I ain't ever getting married again.

No fucking way. I worked too damn hard to give half my income to my ex for the next few years.

Y'all can do what you want, but make sure your incomes are comparable. It's not worth it to be so heavily one sided

Sometimes it goes like this https://youtu.be/o9EWf-wXQ3o

All I have to do is ask too many questions or mansplain or argue with what she’s watching and she’ll tell me to go away.

i have never once sat through a youtube video someone insisted i watch on their phone because it's sooooooooo funny and thought "wow, that was a great use of my time"

yes, there is some funny shit on youtube. no, your idea of humor is not the same as mine
