Sounds like she wears the pants bud. I don’t need to use an Internet forum to defend my opinion. I tell people what I think and go on about my day. Sounds like subconsciously you feel inferior. If this is the case why not push yourself harder and achieve more?

Well the internet is anonymous so I was hoping I could show her this thread and all the cool, laid back nurses who had no problem taking a few jokes.

So exactly as I stated. You are disrespecting her. Yep, I hope you do show her this thread. Yet something tells me you won't. And it has nothing to do with us not being "laid back." Even if your wife is truly oversensitive, support her. Don't try to throw in her face how "wrong" she is.

I’m sorry but this smells of an SDN troll. They like to do this and then have a good laugh at the butt-hurt nurses. Don’t take the bait.

It makes me a little insane when people get feisty over something that is so obviously bait.

Seems a little "amateur" for a SDN troll, though. ?

I can't support this behavior.

Her feelings are, she has worked hard for this and doesn't deserve for it to be made fun of. I've been making jokes about it non-stop and told her to google a few lab jokes.

So far all she's done is call her mom. I talked with her dad about how sensitive some girls are but I'd just be encouraging SJWism/triggers in my house if I allow this to continue. He said he understands.

She knows the type of guy I am, she'll start to laugh or pretend to do so.

Doubt it’s someone from SDN. Probably a nursing school washout. The saddest of the bunch. How do people washout from nursing
