Original caption

- [ ] I ended a friendship over one joke. People still say I overreacted. Disrespect never shows up announced. It shows up dressed as humor, because humor is deniable. A joke about your wife in front of the whole table isn't comedy, it's a survey measuring what you'll allow. #marriage #respect #standards
