When my wife came upstairs to our bedroom i was just laying on the bed, not on my phone or anything. She asked what i was doing. I said “thinking about the Roman Empire”. She just said “dumb” and rolled her eyes.

Claudia Octavia would have never treated me with such disrespect

I watched Barbie last night; they must’ve cut the scene where Ken is reading up on The Roman Empire, because the results were evident.

This trend on social media is getting pretty annoying, but I do like some of the reactions of wives/girlfriends when they are shocked their man thinks of the Roman Empire often.
