Relationships have their ups and downs. Sure, therapy is a great way to process your feelings, but it's expensive as f*ck. Twitter, on the other hand, is free. So when you need to rant about your partner who is driving you crazy or complain about being so single that you're starting to grow cobwebs down there (speaking for a friend, of course), then tweeting about it can be almost as therapeutic as therapy. Welcome to this week's funniest relationship tweets, where all the highs and lows of love get penned in 280 characters or less.

We're starting the new year off with a bang by throwing some of the funniest relationship tweets we've seen so far in 2021 your way. Here's to a new year of hilarious Twitter interactions when it comes to all things romance related. May the Twitter gods shine their light down on us and continue to provide us with weekly laughs at the expense of other people's love lives. Amen.

Navigating relationships can be challenging at the best of times but throw a global pandemic into the mix, and you've got yourself a whole new level of stress. This year's funniest relationship tweets are just more examples of how the trials and tribulations of love can test us to our absolute limits. And they also prove how therapeutic it can be to vent about them on Twitter. 2020 has been a total sh*t show for most people, and it's reflected in our relationships. Whether you're married, single, or in a situationship, 2020 will have shown you a thing or two about love. Here are the funniest relationship tweets we came across in 2020.

Men and women both experience marriage very differently. And of course, by that I mean, the wife is always right, and the husband is always wrong. They say a happy wife equals a happy life, but just how true is that? We found some of the funniest tweets about marriage from husbands who know a thing or two about where they stand in the relationship. If their opinion is anything to go by, then a happy wife does indeed bring a happy life.

The trials and tribulations of love and relationships are enough to drive anyone crazy. That is why married people, all the single ladies, those of us in situationships, and anyone who is just trying their best to get a date can relate to these funny relationship tweets. Because when your love life is falling to pieces, you might as well vent about it on Twitter.

Oh, the joys of relationships. Whether you're single, married, in a long-term relationship, or in a complicated situationship with a f*ck boy, these tweets will speak to your soul. We scour Twitter each week for the funniest relationship tweets you can relate to, and this week's haul is just as good as the rest. So dig in, and then check out last week's in case you missed it.

Living with a partner comes with its pros and cons. Whether you're married, engaged, or just dating, living with someone means that you get to see all of their annoying habits up close, every. Single. Day. In the beginning, these habits might even seem endearing. But five years in, the way they throw their clothes into heaped piles on the floor is no longer cute; it's downright irritating. These people shared the interesting quirks and annoying habits of their significant others, so you can relate to being continuously annoyed at your partner.

A healthy marriage is about a partnership. It means celebrating each other's successes — both professional and personal — and realizing that one person's achievement benefits both people in the relationship. But sometimes, the fragile male ego gets in the way, leaving some men unable to celebrate their wives' success, especially if they feel insecure about their accomplishments. Like this guy who posted on Reddit's Am I The A-hole, who couldn't handle the fact that his wife received a promotion at work while he was unemployed. Instead of celebrating her success, he accused her of "bragging" about it (which, of course, she wasn't, she was only hoping her husband would show her the basic and expected levels of pride and support). Of course, everyone accused him of toxic masculinity and called him a massive a**hole. Personally, I can't even believe this guy is real.

Reddit's Am I the A- hole is a place full of real, well... a**holes. But it's especially full of men who hold archaic, misogynistic views of the world and who deserve naming and shaming. Take this guy, for example, who asked his fiance not to wear a white wedding dress because she was no longer a virgin. Oh, and it was essentially only to please his "traditional" family. Unsurprisingly, she is having second thoughts about marrying this gem of a man, and he doesn't understand why. Redditers jumped to her defense, calling out his glaringly obvious red flags, such as the unhealthy boundaries between him and his family and the fact that their age gap of ten years creates some child-bride like dynamics. This poor girl needs to RUN, and fast, from this slut-shaming energy. Honestly, some people...

Us modern women are powerhouses; we do it all. But juggling motherhood, careers, husbands, boyfriends, and our own sanity can be draining, and it's not always easy to give everyone the undivided attention they deserve. And so, sometimes, a simple "good job" has to suffice, even when it does not deserve praise in the damn slightest. From reassuring our kids that their artwork is better than Picasso to convincing our husbands that we didn't fantasize about Brad Pitt when after our standard fortnightly missionary romp, we spend a lot of our lives saying "good job," even when the job was not a good one. Daniella London Dekel has captured the power of a woman's reassurance in this heartwarming and funny comic.

You think you know someone when you commit to sharing your life with them, but there are always a few surprises that get revealed along the way. One woman was horrified to discover that her husband doesn't change his underwear daily and often goes a few days before changing into a fresh pair. She posted her dilemma on Reddit, asking if she's missing something regarding male hygiene because she (rightly) finds her husband's habit somewhat disturbing. Most people reassured her that men and women share the same basic rules, including changing your underwear on a daily basis. Check out some of the responses to this poor woman's crisis.

The internet is full of people who make you say "WTF," and this guy is undoubtedly one of them. He posted on the subreddit Am I The A-Hole, explaining how he thought the surprise professional boudoir photos his wife had taken for him were "desperate" and indicative of the midlife crisis he suspected she was having. This absolute gem of a husband explained how his "aging" 41-year-old wife looks starkly different from "everybody else in our group of mid to late thirties people," adding, "Frankly I don't think the boudoir photos make her any more or less flattering... a quick glance at them did nothing for me."

Ummm, OK. First off, any change in appearance over two or three years at that age is negligible. Anyone sensible knows that. So, this guy's delusional views on what women should look like are already painting a picture of the type of person he is. Secondly, his poor wife, who quite clearly feels insecure about her body (probably because of her dckwad of a husband who makes her feel like total sht), was looking for a confidence boost. His reaction is at best indifferent, and at worst, feeding and magnifying all her insecurities, making her feel like total sht. As you probably guessed, Redditors unanimously voted him an a*hole. Please scroll down for his story and to see the comments people left him. Spoiler: they didn't hold back.

Sometimes in life, you get faced with questions for which there are no right answers. These impossible hypotheticals force you between a rock and a hard place and can make life pretty awkward. For example, when your husband asks you if you'd stay married to him if he got a sex change. I mean, what does one even say to that? If you stay with him, you're forced to stay married to someone you're no longer attracted to. If you bail, then is it really true love?

I know I'd be out, but if you'd stay with him, props to you, my friend, because that is some deeply serious love and commitment. One woman posted her predicament on the subreddit Am I The A-Hole to see how other people would react to her awkward position. The majority of users reassured her that she wasn't the a**hole, saying that her husband was either about to come out as trans or was a highly manipulative individual. Read through her predicament and then see if you agree with the comments.

Marriage is all fun and games until your husband annoys you so much you want to kill him. Through all the ups and downs of married life, the most important thing is to laugh with each other. And to laugh at each other, depending on how much your significant other annoys you. So scroll through these marriage memes, which might explain your marriage better than you can because memes express the words we don't know how to say.

When it comes to marriage, we all know who's in charge. Yep, it's a woman's world when it comes to all things couple related, so here are some memes celebrating that fact. And husbands know it too.

They say it's the little things which keep love alive, not necessarily the grand gestures (although, of course, they help too). One husband is proving how true this is by drawing funny doodles on the mirror to motivate his wife for the day ahead with her difficult boss.

Imgur user Taylor, aka doctorpond, shared the images of her husband's artistry, and the internet fell in love with them. When you know you have a challenging day ahead, there's nothing like knowing you've got a supportive partner on your side who will be there when you get home. This is true couple goals!
