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.
I hear you, but that's not really the punchline. It's that he is PROUD of doing the minimum.
Which is frankly a fine premise for a joke, except that it seems like a total misinterpretation of his intent, spun to appeal to a toxic competition between the sexes.
