Men Shouldn't Be Friends With Their Wives???

[@nonreligionist]

And here I was thinking relationships were friendships with bonus content

[@Naafidy]

I tell my partner that he's like that really cool FWB who I share a mortgage, bills, and cats together.

[@PossumMedic]

@@Naafidy 🤣🙌‍

[@coltsfan354]

The real "bone con"

[@Seiryu64]

**BOLD TAKE INCOMING** Men and women should build solid platonic friendships regardless of sexual orientation or attraction. This not being a norm is 120% of the problem where it comes to communication and understanding

[@lhays117]

The majority of my friends are women and most of them are straight or at least bi. In fact, only one of them is a lesbian. Despite that I myself am a straight man, I’m still able to be genuine friends with them without it being weird. It baffles me how there can be people out there who are only friends with their own gender exclusively.

[@Gaawachan]

"We are the emotionally grounded one in the relationship." Lmao he should listen to any woman who has ever been in an abusive relationship.

[@longliverocknroll5]

Fellas, is it gay to be able to speak to your wife?

[@spacerewriter]

How do people end up not being friends with their partner? I'd consider that almost a prerequisite.

[@alexj-t2331]

Well in the old days you just marry the first person that you knock up was the criteria

[@n0etic_f0x]

They are the kind of people who don’t think men and women even can be friends. Their wife is their lover mouther hybrid and it’s not good.

[@PossumMedic]

religion

[@zenbear9952]

Arranged marriages would be my guess. It's like a business decision your dad makes

[@H-mz4hy]

Almost?

[@EddieM1994]

We were all psyched when my dad started giving us the tea about work because it meant he was sharing his emotions and not going to have another breakdown.

[@Kristen70364]

My partner and I aren't married, but we've been together for going on 20 years. He's my best friend. We don't spend every waking moment together, but he's the one I want to talk to when something exciting is happening, and he's the one I go to for comfort when I need it. He feels the same about me. Does this guy even like his wife?

[@soistngcatstritchfavor]

Women love thier children! Man can only feel pain!

[@lukestange]

this guy is taking out his own marital problems on the rest of us lmao

[@TheShyDoomer]

Maybe Mom divorced dad because he referred to himself with his daughter as Daddy and wanted to be her first relationship 🤔

[@untiedshoes90]

That thumbnail pic of Jake and Sarah is peak

[@ConsciusVeritasVids]

2cute 2gether :>

[@WilliamAllikzander]

My wife and I are gonna have a bottle of wine and watch this together. I guess I'm like a simp or something. 🤷‍♂

[@PossumMedic]

what a bunch of cucks! 😝

[@jackjohnson1128]

I've been single my entire life, so maybe I can't speak on this sort of thing, but - I don't know, don't you want to LIKE someone you're in love with? Why in the world is it viewed as okay to be so emotionally detached from someone you're married to? Religion is so depressing, man.

[@Obelion_]

okay why cant just both parents be nice to the kids? why can it only be one per gender??

[@Sophia-vk5bq]

“So I invited my wife on Stream.” Me: “I so wanted this to be Dave acting like your wife after voice training.” 😅

[@karenwilson2188]

Not only am I friends with my husband, he is the best friend I’ve ever had in my life.

[@aspiringscientificjournali1505]

Me when I get home before the wife YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD GET TO EAT THE LAST SLICE OF CAKE BUT NO IT WAS ME ,DEO! She ducks down in tears Then uppercuts me I hit her with a glancing head kick as I backflip away

[@trashpanda3837]

Why does he keep looking up in the corner when he talks? Is God in the room with him giving him a thumbs up? Is there a succubus in the corner? What is it man.

[@franjkav]

Personally I look off to the side when I’m talking because it’s easier to think. Blank walls, or basically anything but faces and screens, are less distracting

[@spicysmooth2]

I think I figured it out. When, you are privileged such as to be a straight white male, you see politics as a thing that doesn’t affect you. Then you extrapolate that perspective to everyone. It’s such a foreign concept to imagine political structures being against you. So when you see people complain about them, you probably think they should get over it, or worse, fall in line. Because being different is hurting you & that’s your choice to be hurt. Because every decision in their life isn’t colored by political systems that disadvantage you. It’s simple to tell an LGBTQ person to be straight, when they cannot. It’s simple to tell brown folks that we live in a meritocracy, when it isn’t. It’s easy to tell women to stay home and have babies as their biology commands them, when it doesn’t have to be. It’s easy to tell people to just feel secure. Even when their environment is insecure.

[@just_mike_]

Jake's take on role models made me realize the reason why these ultra conservative creep types bring role models up so often, despite being the party of personal responsibility and bootstrap pulling is that its a cop-out to plant the idea that one needs to act a certain way because of how it affects others. Growing up I realized after watching game grumps and finding out that arin hanson hated ocarina of time made me finally realize that its ok to have unpopular opinions and hot takes and not watching reviews or reading comments to figure out how im supposed to feel about something. But that's all i respect him for. The more I learned about him the more I decided to not idolize him because I don't agree with everything he does/says. You can like some things about people and use that as a "role model" and disapprove of other things about people. Its not a black or white situation.

[@Pheelleep]

30:06 “Thats not what women want in a relationship” 41:13 “Women dont want to help their husbands, women dont want to be there to pick them up when theyre down and kiss their booboos” Any man that says women inherently dont want their bf/husband to ever open up or else she’ll “think he’s a pussy who cant protect her from armed robbers and wolves at night” tend to be the same guys who trauma dump relentlessly expecting her to have a step by step guide ready with all the steps to fix said problem overnight (sometimes even on the first date)

[@serene_ladyred8803]

I've had role models for sure. I definitely didn't try to shoehorn people into the position however.

[@DVBen1]

I mean, there is something to be said about how much more emotional baggage that straight men unfairly hoist on the women in their lives, but that is an entirely-separate conversation.

[@0Fyrebrand0]

"This is probably the least manly trait that I can think of: that your emotional state is so fragile that it's dependent upon what other people are doing." Fantastic. Great to know he's totally okay with atheists, homosexuality, and trans people, and just wants them to be free to live their lives as they see fit.

[@beanbrewer]

Anyone else think that was Alex Jones for a min?

[@ConsciusVeritasVids]

17:30 How did I know this was coming? I could just feel my spidey sense tingling...

[@Gaawachan]

This part almost made me puke.

[@commentsforthealgorithm]

How do you marry someone you aren’t even friends with? What???😅

[@SaraphDarklaw]

I see my friends as my dating pool.

[@ThraceFulton]

Click for the sauce, stay for the sass.

[@redactedvt7873]

14:55 lol imagine having a dad 🫵

[@coltsfan354]

I've been with my wife for 12 years, married for 6, and we got married specifically because she's my best friend. If it's the person you're gonna spend the most time with for the rest of your life, you should probably like them.

[@dorkking100]

My partner is my best friend.

[@BenjaminGlatt]

Shit, have I been doing it wrong this whole time?

[@tanisrulerofall]

Damn my dad took a page out of this mans book 😌

[@SuperCatfire]

i cant believe father grigori doesnt even like his own wife

[@FuzzyImages]

I kinda feel that friendship is enjoying the company of others to be willing to take on some of the burdensome traits of them. Cause we all have them, I can think of times my friends certainly had to put up with some of my issues.

[@TastyRacecar]

So you're telling me this ISN'T Tom Segura?

[@n0etic_f0x]

This is insane wacky nonsense that a lot of Churches will do. It is totally wacky, I have been with the same guy for eighteen years. I have been with two more for ten years. So I have a poly relationship of four people total that is longer than the average marriage. My partner I live with is my freind who I never wanted to leave my house, this thought to me is wacky. I do not know if my parents are friends though, they are like this and I do not want it. They are strange emotional support and he is incompetent.

[@doofusrick5998]

Mai waif

[@Spitfyre1011]

Can you please make "the father is really Daddy" a dono sound?

[@allancastellon9248]

FREUD UNDEFEATED

[@kirkenstiensmonster]

I got a cool mom, and a cool dad. My mom is a hairdresser and works at a pot shop on the side. Dad is a tattooed, Harley riding aircraft mechanic.

[@LORDOFGLOOP]

Sarah looking cute as fuck in the thumbnail and Jake... well... Jake loves his "this apron is all that lies between you and my bare chest" kitchen photo lol

[@masontaylor5522]

Jake saying "i didnt have role models" makes a lot of sense

[@LORDOFGLOOP]

Lol, how you mean?

[@bongosmcdongos4190]

This guy is frustrating because hes honestly half way to being decent. Hes telling men ti rely on their friends for enotional support. Thats positive masculinity, we need more of that, but he takes it so far its becoming negative again, curting his partner out of his.... emotional life ig? Like they could build way more intimacy if ge didnt do this. Balamce it out dont rely on 1 or the other exclusively

[@joykuhl05]

The guy's voice is so itchy feeling

[@Meow_Tse-Tung]

22:25 Sarah "Well thats his daddy issues, he needs his daddy" Jake "Jesus fucking Christ" In this whole context it would have been hilarious to say _fucking_ Jesus Christ

[@ethantaylor9613]

Hey Jake, maybe don’t figure out a guy is Russian orthodox and then immediately joke about him being in the mob. Not actually a cool thing to say.

[@CorndogCrusader94]

Was enjoying the comedy and opposing perspectives until you said, "There is no such thing as an emotionally stable Christian." That statement is both a generalized discrimination and a baseless claim. Please, do better.

[@Ragnaraq1]

Had to immediately stop watching when you started talking about zit picking ugh
