Married life can be pretty predictable. It doesn’t matter where you live or who you’re married to, there are certain universal experiences partners seem to share, from the aggravation of cohabiting with someone who never puts away their clean laundry to the ongoing struggle of trying to share the covers in bed.
It may seem mundane at times, but it’s comforting to know we’re dealing with the same crap — and even better when we can find some humor in it all.
To that end, we’ve rounded up 35 hilarious and relatable tweets about married life from LGBTQ couples.

For my second date with my husband we met in NYC and went to a party and ended up at a McDonald's at 3:00 AM where he reached across the table, grabbed my hands, looked at me adoringly, and said "I hate this. I wanted to go to bed at 9:00. Do not expect this of me again."

Marriage is having your spouse sit next to you and play loud videos on their phone while you’re trying to watch your favorite show.

my wife just sang the animal crossing theme song during foreplay so

My wife must be so annoyed when I tell her I don’t want to watch another episode of our show because I want to “read in bed” and then end up texting her videos of baby burrowing owls all night instead

There was a bug in the bathroom earlier and my wife and daughter both demanded that I dispatch the bug, despite my loud protests that this was extremely transphobic. Reader, they did not buy a word of it.

We’re watching House Hunters and I was like “Aw this episode has lesbians” and my wife looked up at the TV and said “I went to Canada with her once.”
Being married to a woman is being low-level annoyed that she left her jeans on the floor of the bathroom all day, and then getting to bedtime and realising that they were your jeans all along.
