Yeah, it’s a joke with a “schizophrenia” punchline, as you put it, but I feel like it speaks to a yearning for connection and empathy and for love in a patriarchal system that demands the domination of man over woman, and therefore excludes the very possibility of love between a man and a woman, for true love can never exist in a dominator-dominated dynamic.
In a way, it’s the mirror image of a “wife bad” joke, where the loveless nature of patriarchal heterosexual unions is framed as the failure of the woman, where the “schizophrenia” joke frames it as a mere unattainable dream of the man.
It’s saying YOU will never find that wife. this is from a very specific brand of black pill fatalism that turns the hatred towards the self moreso than women. I guarantee you most of the dudes who share this image love their moms and feel like genetic dead ends
Is this a gen z/boomer hybrid post? Like “wife bad” mixed with mental health
I think you’re supposed to read it as “wife nonexistent”
Right, it’s saying that “a good wife is impossible”, aka “wife bad”
The key word in the punchline is “schizophrenia”. It’s not a “nice guy” joke.
IDK

You’re reading way too much into a shitpost
I think it’s fun to read way too much into stuff! Plus, what people laugh at can definitely say something deeper about what they believe :D methinks
If you’re reading it that way that says more about you than this post.
Spouse/partner ALWAYS those things? No shot we all human fam. Happiness comes in waves, keep taking them pills.
Honestly (over the counter) drugs help a lot. Plus therapy. A lot of people shy away from that shit, but yeah, both are good.
