Meaning
This reads as dark, comic relief around a deeply unhappy marriage. Beneath the joke, it points to endurance, shared history, and the strange rituals people use to mark a relationship that has lasted more by force of habit than by joy. It lands in families where everyone knows the tension is real, but laughter is the only workable way to name it.
