My wife cannot take a joke about her field. At all. I've joked about her being a waitress to the patients bringing them sandwiches on demand and dealt with the fallout from that.
She claims nurses have jokes about lab that she would never say to my face and she cannot believe I would make such a hurtful joke, which I've picked up from other nurses.
So, please tell me if my wife is out of line and then share your most ludicrous and outlandish lab jokes. Trust me I can take it ?
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 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.
