Well, recluse, when he got married his dad gave him some advice...
"Terd," he said, "let me tell give you some advice, eh? On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants and handed them to your mother, and said, 'Here - try these on.'
"So, she did and replied to me, 'These are too big, I can't wear these pants.'
"So I replied to your mother, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.'
"Ever since that night we have never had any problems."
Now, Terd thought his father's suggestion might be just the thing to establish order in his new family.
So, on his wedding night Terd took off his pants and said to his wife, "Here, try these on."
So she did and said, "These are too large, Terd. They don't fit me..."
Terd replied, "Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that."
But then his new wife took off
her pants and handed them to Terd, and said, "Here, you try on mine!"
As she requested, he tried them. "I can't get into your pants," Terd said.
His wife replied, "Exactly. And if you don't change your ****ing attitude, you never will."
... and so he's been trying, again and again over the years, to get back into his wife's pants.
See? All makes sense when you know the backstory
