On threads discussing the TSV some people are saying they find the saying "happy wife , happy life" offensive. OK - I don't get what is offensive about that.

Oh lawdy......

Something to the effect if you don't try to make your wife happy that she's a bich and your life will reflect that.

I'm not a wife, but I always thought it sounded like...."better give her her way.....or else!"  (A tad of an exaggeration, but you get the gist of what I'm trying to say, I hope.)

I'm not one of the people who said it was offensive, but I think it's odd to be on a woman's shirt because I always thought it was something men said.  As in if the wife isn't happy, she will make everyone else miserable.

I hear that expression all the time. I am not offended. I think its a cute saying.

@VanSleepy The saying reads humorous on a man's T.

I don't find it offensive, but I'm really tired of hearing it. I'm also sick of hearing the expression go big or go home.

Hun, people in here will be 'offended' if somebody says the sun is in their eyes while sending a message to the board.

It will turn into pages of whining and griping.

I think, IMHO....That some people feel it's an old fashioned mysoginistic saying. It's bringing up lots of feelings to some

~I don't need a man, or have my husband to make me happy.  

~Divorced women who are trying to find or, have found their own happiness. 

~Happiness isn't tied to a man or marriage; it can be found in many places. 

Just a few thoughts i can can think of for a quick answer. 🌷
