In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous 30-year-old writes that she and her wife recently went to a restaurant to celebrate a big milestone in her career.
"I was talking about my career in voice acting (which I absolutely love) before she decided to insult me by saying, 'You should be a mime instead so no one has to hear you talking anymore,' " she writes.

The post continues: "My wife always makes a lot of jokes like these, basically insulting me which I usually don't pay too much attention to. This 'joke' in particular really hurt me because I used to be very self conscious about my voice due to being bullied for years about the way I used to speak, so this hit me really hard."
After her wife delivered the jab, she asked, "Are you serious?" before "standing up abruptly and walking away," she writes.
"I didn't tell her where I was going but I drove to my studio and have been here for the past few hours," the post continues. "She has been blowing up my phone with calls and messages about leaving her at the restaurant to pay the bill (it was an expensive restaurant and I usually pay for our outings as I make more money) and for leaving her 'stranded' as I took the car when I left."
"I'm not sure if i'm overreacting as my wife always says this is just her sense of humor and I need to stop being a snowflake but she is blowing up my phone calling me immature for leaving over a 'joke,' " the post adds.

Reddit users say the wife's joke wasn't funny — with many admitting they would have left the restaurant (and the bill), too.
"Does she even like you? It’s not a joke if no one’s laughing…" wrote one commenter.
Added another: "Years of marriage should bring comfort, not confusion. If her jokes have changed, maybe something else has, too."
