Preach brother. I remember the first time going to drinks with coworkers when I was young and started dating my eventual wife. Every one of them wife bashed, had to get home to the old ball and chain. Constantly just annoyed with their wives. They would look to me and I’d have to lie about my gf because I didn’t have anything like that.
15 years later and every single one of those guys are divorced. Various factors but I always remember those evenings getting beers. Meanwhile I’m happily married.
You start talking or acting that way and soon the jokes become actual resentment, and once it’s resentment it’s a very hard path back. Over communicate and appreciate your spouse, they should be your best friend, not the person you complain about in a bar. Your boss should provide enough material for that role.
