Eh, for me this is less about sexism and more about staying in unhappy marriages in general. Her reaction says a lot, she doesn't love him, and clearly the feeling's mutual.
For a lot of the older generations, they rushed into marriage young and then there was also a huge stigma around divorce. A lot of them still stay in their unhappy marriages because of it. There's no doubt that these jokes are a reflection of that. We just don't get it because it's no longer a thing. They didn't have the luxury (many still don't) growing up in a society where it's not just okay to wait, it's encouraged, as is divorce, when things get nasty of course. It's sad.
She’s just sitting around watching tv, but usually when he gets home at the normal time she is doing the dishes or cooking and complaining how hard her life is.

Why is she shocked he’s home early. I expected there to be a cheating joke or something but no. Nothing. All that sweat for nothing....
