Don't believe me, go back and watch comedy from the 1950s and before to see what the Greatest Generation humor was about.
One of the most popular tv shows in history happens to be from the fifties and literally revolved around the wife being a nag and the husband threatening to beat her multiple times per episode. You are wrong about this.
No, I won't blame myself for anything. Because I didn't do anything
If there is any aspect of your life you have blamed on boomers, I guarantee it’s actually your fault and you simply lack the ability of introspection.
As for your relationship advice, it’s completely moot because no, I don’t hate or resent my fiancé, because I am able to listen to humor without thinking that it’s the way I should shape my life just because someone older than me said it.

No, you're wrong about this. It portrayed an idiot who blamed everyone else for his problems, including his wife. Instead of the show portraying the couple as dysfunctional, it portrays the husband as an asshole and an idiot who, at the end of the day, knows his wife is right and attempts to reconcile. It portrays the exact type of person that I'm talking about that's wrong: an asshole who is abusive to his wife. But, unlike the boomer humor bullshit, he reconciles with his wife and eventually admits he's wrong, taking all wind out of the empty threats.
And it's literally the only show during the time period which had a dysfunctional husband threaten violence on the regular.
You could have chosen:
I Love Lucy Leave it to Beaver Ozzie and Harriet Blondie The Goldbergs Dennis the Menace The Hartmans The Laytons Mary Kay and Johnny
Why didn't you chose those?

Seriously? Name a single show from the boomer generation where the husband is abusive and demeaning and they don’t reconcile at the end. This is a complete fabrication on your part to justify your feelings. Again, lack of introspection and trying to force-feed yourself complaints that fit your narrative

I Love Lucy Leave it to Beaver Ozzie and Harriet Blondie The Goldbergs Dennis the Menace The Hartmans The Laytons Mary Kay and Johnny
And television shows from the next (boomer) generation?

What minority of shows from the boomer generation are you focusing on? And again; special interest to ones where they don’t reconcile at the end. Even the families in All in the family and Married with Children reconciled
Edit:
Even I Love Lucy was filled with disdain and disrespect for the wives on a consistent basis lol. Great example

Everybody Loves Raymond. Frank, the dad, was an asshole to his wife with only 2 episodes where he reconciles with Mary. Thanks for setting me up for a great point. I'm sure you didn't plan that.
Even I Love Lucy was filled with disdain and disrespect for the wives on a consistent basis lol. Great example
No it most certainly was not. It was full of absurd amounts of love and adoration from the husband to Lucy. Both the couples in the show loved each other. Lucy's husband would get pissed are her shenanigans but there was no underlying hatred like in Boomer Humor where everything is about either being cheated on, your wife never having sex with you, etc. The affection Ricki had for Lucy heavily implied quite the sex life - controversy my grandmother pointed out because it was pushing it at time with the affection and implied sexual relationship.

Not boomer shows. The boomers didn't start making these shows until the late 80s and 90s. The transition period to "hating your wife" was the 70s and 80s. When the torch was handed off from the Greatest Generation to the Baby Boomers, we got more caustic hatred of the wife.
Pretty funny that you listed a bunch of shows made by NOT boomers and proved my point. :D
Good ol' Sherwood Schwartz.
