This humor existed long before the boomer generation and somehow people managed to stay married.
You’re entitled because you’ve instantly gotten everything you want for your entire life which leads to shitty decisions. Blame how you handled receiving technology, not fucking jokes told by old people
This humor existed long before the boomer generation
But not even anywhere close to the saturation the boomers implemented.
Don't believe me, go back and watch comedy from the 1950s and before to see what the Greatest Generation humor was about. Yes, the occasional "battle axe" joke. But not an entire routine about how much of a bitch their wife is.
And do you wonder why Rodney Dangerfield had so much spouse hating jokes? He had quite the adventures with relationships:
Joyce Indig: (m. 1951; div. 1961), (m. 1963; div. 1970) Joan Child (m. 1993)
Blame how you
No, I won't blame myself for anything. Because I didn't do anything.
What I am doing, however, is pointing out toxic boomer humor and triggering people like you something fierce. Do you hate your spouse/GF, bro? If so, considered doing something romantic for her. Leave her a love note where you know she will see it. Write her a letter about an enjoyable memory (without any backhanded compliments). Thank her for having your children (if you're married or have children). Less resentment to your spouse, more love and tenderness.
Watch: it works.

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.

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?
