This type of wife hatred is commonly mined for nuggets of supposed comedic gold. "I hate my wife" is a type of comedy for guys that's not very dissimilar from "I hate my kids and love wine" for moms.
This type of comedy was becoming pretty outmoded during the Obama years, but the MAGA zoomers in coalition with their older counterparts are trying to bring it all back.
My personal opinion is that it sucks, often isn't funny at all, and that if you really hate your wife so much you should consider divorce.
God, thank you. I have a long history of trauma such that 'jokes' about an unfun, unhealthy life aren't fucking funny when they could be a cry for help in 'joke' form. I'd much rather offer someone who's 'joking' the support they might be too afraid to ask for than to 'laugh' at a 'joke' about a bad time.

I'm on my second marriage, 10 years in this one and 13 in the first.
My relationship is easy. We don't argue, we have the same goals, she's my best friend, sex is a science where we know the other's responses and are creative. We face hard things together. I could go on. It's easy to love her.
Nothing like my first marriage, it was hell.
Ah that's the spirit!

This is what happens when my wife goes...honey let's move the TV to the left! Its not centered. Oh that's not enough! Let's try another 1.5"! Oh! Not enough! ...not enough!.... Not enough!....
Do not marry. Its hell. But if you do, patch that wall real good.... Oh I can still see the seam! Sand it again! Yes orange peal...nope! The paint looks a little off. Paint the room!. Oh you're gonna hate me...can you move the TV another 1.5" please?

It's a joke but it is hell in many respects. I like the way my hell makes me feel.
Like if she starts a one way conversation that extends for one hour and you don't want to be the receiver so you move a little to test the waters but then she screams at you for walking away.
Logic says...well this wonderful person could do better with a wall. But nah! Its you! Your must listen to all the unactionable statements. Yup, that's marriage. I've been here for almost a quarter century.
No matter what society says marriage is to make children and have them grow and become part of the society. Love is relatively new. We're more like cattle who work on things for a company and then purchase those things at a discount so they profit off that discount... Whether it is a profit based on pure time to money to money to time transactions or time to minerals to money to time transactions. The government wants you married to make children. So don't marry for that and keep it open at all times. Like the very best friendship you ever had regardless of all the god damn yada yada yada. Once she's done with that, it's all perfectly fine. Just shut down and keep the ears listening. You can mentally escape to a six flags....you're about to drop into an outside spin loop!...and so then I said to her "heck no!"...and she walked away! Can you believe it?...and you drop! Noooooooo!.....she continues.... It wasn't that exciting! LOL. Life's a cookie, take a bite...Noooo! Lemon cake!!! Fine take another bite!
Think I'll just stay single and keep doing whatever the fuck I want at all times.

Standard dad calibration technique.
I do that on my husband. He's never too amused.

Finally someone gets it!

I sleep in a big bed at home with my wife

I do miss doing that to my ex-wife. There were those small things that I can't enjoy being single. Well. For now.
Just think of all the things you can do without ever consulting someone else. Single has its perks!

They're more like depth detectors now. They dont work on magnetism, they work by detecting the ultrasonic echoes of what's behind the wall.
In other words they're good at knocking on the wall.

Supply side economics until we all die.
What a Lemmy moment.
"Shoddy work? This is the fault of capitalism!"

Or just put the box 4" to the right, directly on the stud. Why on earth they thought it had to be exactly where it is is beyond me.
perhaps it is centered between some further away objects and they cared about aesthetics.

I bought one, put up to my dads back, let it beep, and said to him "i think its defective" 🤪

24" on-center wall studs aren't uncommon in building practices today
Most residential interior walls are 16"
If their house is single-story, then 24" would fit in a lot of local building codes.
If any of you find a house on the market with 24" centered 2x4 walls--run. That won't be the only thing they went cheap on.

That's not the worst cludge I've ever seen, but it's good and stupid alright.
But imagine, won't you, an electrical outlet box attached with directly to the oven's gas line. The outlet was for the microwave. My friend no longer lives in that condo lol
My friend no longer lives in that condo lol
By choice? Or by being forcibly evicted by the rapid expansion of heated gas?

It's actually not bad. I have motivation to work out for me and not anyone else, I can spend money on things she called silly, I don't even have to cook without flavor.

I am not familiar with the removing a section of drywall in order to hang a TV technique

See? That's the spirit! I'm glad you seem to be finding your groove without too much suffering.

To verify your stud detector works you must point it to your self, make a beeping sound, turn to your significant other and tell them "I'm a stud"
