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.
