She seemed awfully comfortable / quick to lay hands on him. And it's clear from the man's initial reaction that he was shocked and did not immediately appreciate her contact as a playful gesture.
Something feels off about this interaction.
If you flipped the genders and it were a man "tapping" a woman on the chest and pushing her by the forehead, I think we'd all have a very different response. We shouldn't think this type of contact on men is ok.
Yes. My wife and I feel comfortable playing around also.
And that “shocked” reaction? That was part of the joke/schtick. He has to act confused why she’s “mad” to deliver the punchline better (uh oh….warning…a punchline isn’t really a punch ok?)
I have no Idea why you are getting downvoted but I guess this is normal in the us!?
I know not a single person here in germany that would be ok with pushing the face. Hitting on the shoulder/arm in a playfull manner sure, pretty normal. But the face? That is insanely disrespectful and way over the red line.
I'm in Australia and I would expect most people would find this unacceptable in any context.
Whatever an individual finds ok thats obviously acceptable for them, but I would have expected for most people this is unnecessary and far beyond a joke. It's hard to explain as it's just so clearly totally wrong and genuinely shocking it appears to normal within their experience.
Playfully tapping or grabbing at your partner is of course something people do where I live, but poking or slapping at the face reads as aggressive. The body language of the man also reads as startled.
I certainty wouldn't like it myself, and I would expect a negative reaction if I did it to someone
Always interesting to see different perspectives of course and that to Americans this is just cheerfulness.
She isn't hitting him very hard and you can see him grinning ear to ear at the end. Idk if I'd say it's cultural because definitely not everyone does this, but as long as they're not doing any damage (which she is not) I wouldn't consider it that crazy.
I would never slap my husband like that, even while playing. But I understand all marriages are different and others may be comfortable with playing like that 🤷🏻♀️
Wild you're getting downvoted for that.. I'm the same, thats way beyond a joke to me. This is absolutely crazy people think -other people- should be ok with this level of one sided physical contact from a partner, or anyone.

Had to try this myself. Got many cute noises of outrage. 10/10
Thay was good lol
Classic!!
I see they're still in the 3 year period.
I dont understand what she says
“I said happily”
I didnt understand what SHE said
My bad, I’m barely awake.
“We’ve been married for longer than 3… Get out.”
Thx
My wife agreed, that’s the type of joke I would make (with similar results.)
😂😂😂
Those are two happy guys
Why is she hitting him so much.
I just knew someone was gonna comment on the “hitting”. Jeez. Lol.
I'm clearly not in on the joke you think it is. She literally hits him in the forehead and not gently either.
Clearly not. Context and nuances exist.
Spoiler: she also wasn’t really choking him at the end.
Edit: Wanted to add. She didn’t hit him on the head. She tapped him on the chest then pushed his forehead.

Didn't seem like a staged reaction to me, but you can feel free to make your own assumptions.
Not staged reaction, but part of the joke reaction. But hey, make your own assumptions.
If only their username checked out 😮💨

That's my only thought that it's cultural.

Also thinking it must be cultural.

play fighting is extremely common among social animals. it’s not that deep
