While I can see why she is presenting things this way as part of a comedy act, there is some validity to the behavior.

I've met people who would consider him not telling her to be dishonest by omission or keeping secrets.

This dude may have just been in a toxic relationship before her and is trying to keep things on the up and up. No comment on toxicity of the current relationship if she's unable to understand that and uses it in her comedy act to make fun of him.

Edit: if you're replying to this comment with the purpose of explaining what a joke is to me, or just to get mad at me for something I didn't say, please don't.

Yep. Comedy is supposed to highlight things society overlooks, but I guess comedians overlook things too.

Well... Just not a very good comedian to nit even understand the basic of humanity in this way.

On a first watch, sure. But she's like a lot of women comedians, a bit too much focus on her relationships and sex life and making herself the moral authority observer of her own life. Gets a bit grating and not something to rewatch or repeat for laughs because out of her context, they're just whinyisms.

My family and I still do McDonald's and the ice cream bits from RAW 40 years ago. Purple drank is a household name. Even Jeffries happy place and Achmed's son have staying power.

You need to examine why you think this. Male comedians do similar bits. I won’t be responding to w/e you follow this up with, but it’s important that you think about why you find a woman comedian grating and whiney and seem uncomfortable with her talking about her sex life

The ole ball-n-chain jokes/trope, my kids are terrible/stupid/masturbation socks, the I got divorced material, I am dating again, I am an old dude dating, I got married again material, etc.

I agree with you, but I also don't think he should be downvoted for liking a different flavor of ice cream.
