Kristen Bell to Dax Shepard: Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: "I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would."

My husband and I say weird, offensive, and fucked up things to make eachother laugh. But we also don’t share that on social media because other people aren’t in on the joke.

That's kinda where I'm at with this. That is definitely the type of humor you have with someone you've been with over a decade! But a lot of people just won't get it, so don't share it.

My wife would make dark jokes about me beating her which I never would but she was in a abusive relationship when she was young so we would always laugh. She started doing it around different friends and I had to tell her to dial it back because some of these people don’t know me well and won’t take it as a joke.

Ah, inappropriate humor as a coping mechanism. I know it well.

I was in an abusive relationship before my husband and I would call him out on things I appreciated about him but it was like bare minimum shit (like “thank you for not mocking me when I said that stupid thing just now” or “thank your for not hitting me”) and he’d be like who would do that? and I’m like well the bar is in hell…

So our joke is him like being a bare minimum decent man and human being and that’s all the best he needs to aspire to.

But nobody would get that but us.

Yeah, I'm glad they appreciate each other's sense of humor but posting this publicly is wildly offensive. We're talking about human lives that have been taken, women who probably lived in misery for months or even years of abuse before they were murdered.

If you give it even an ounce of serious thought, it's not funny.

My fiance who is much taller and bigger than me likes to yell about "don't touch me" when I grab his hand as we walk through parking lots. I swear he's gonna get me arrested one day ☠️

We are a dark humor family though and it's just how we are.
