The Internet Husband (also known as Redditor's Wife) meme features a stock photo of a woman standing in a doorway looking sadly at her husband, who is preoccupied with a computer screen. First appearing on Reddit in 2011, the meme quickly became a vehicle for jokes about how internet culture, trending news, and specific subreddits consume a person's attention to the detriment of their real-life relationships. Each iteration typically follows a formula where the wife attempts to engage in a normal domestic interaction, only for the husband to respond with a meta-reference to a current internet trend or meme, highlighting the disconnect between digital life and physical reality.
