“Apparently when my wife doesn’t text back it’s because she’s busy. But when I don’t text back it’s because I don’t love her anymore”

There is a texting double-standard in a relationship. This was posted on Facebook by Michael Reifsnyder on January 11, 2025:
 
“Apparently when my wife doesn’t text back it’s because she’s busy. But when I don’t text back it’s because I don’t love her anymore.”
     
The jocular saying, which has been printed on many images, appeared about a week earlier on Instagram and is of unknown authorship.

When being busy equals to not loving her anymore

According to my wife…
When she doesn’t text me back she’s busy.
When I don’t text her back I don’t love her anymore.

When my wife doesn’t text me back it’s because she’s busy. When I don’t text her back she thinks it’s because I don’t love her anymore.
