    Well, before my wife died, we had an argument about me talking about stuff referring to it as, “before my wife died” solely because until she dies its always before my wife died.

      Is this like how I used to introduce my first ex wife to people as “My First Wife” while we were still very much married?

      For some reason she did not find it as amusing as I did? I wonder if its funny now?

      I like my wife too much to make jokes like that. That’s kind of awful, really.

      But why would your wife say “it’s very disrespectful to refer to them that way”? That doesn’t make sense either

      It already doesn’t make grammatical sense because your wife hasn’t died, so you can’t refer to it happening in the past tense - you’d have to say “before my wife dies” which ruins the joke.

      You could fix this joke by instead saying “before my wife’s death” or “before the death of my wife”, and having her just say “that’s very disrespectful”.

  I though this is a joke about re-marrying quickly, but nope.

  You can talk about the past without reminding others of that particular memory. They’re all thinking it anyway.

    You misunderstand. Their wife is still alive so Everything is still “before she died”

    source

    • ynthrepic@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      “before she dies” English has a conjugation for that… There shouldn’t be a misunderstanding. What a weird post.

  For more fun and games, you can refer to your wife as your “ex-girlfriend”.
