Marriage means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But when you really boil it down, there are some surprisingly universal aspects of married life that husbands and wives know all too well.
For example, you will regularly be tasked with helping your partner find “lost” items — their car keys, the remote, the ketchup, etc. — that aren’t lost at all. One or both of you will routinely fall asleep five minutes into any movie or TV show you try to watch past 9 p.m. And no matter how much you love each other, you will, at some point, find yourself inexplicably perturbed by the way your spouse breathes.
Below, we’ve collected 29 really funny tweets that perfectly encapsulate what it’s like to be married.

If I say something I think is funny, and my husband doesn’t laugh, I’m instantly mad.

If he wanted a divorce he could have just asked me like a rational human being.
If anyone wants to know what it’s like to be married for over 20 years, my husband just walked out the door & drove away without saying where he’s going & I just shrugged & turned on Netflix.
