Early in a relationship, couples often ask each other about their pasts. Some questions are simple, while others can lead to funny—or awkward—moments. One classic example? Asking how many partners your significant other has had.
In this playful joke, a newlywed husband decides to ask his wife that very question. As they relax in bed, he turns to her and says, “Hey, how many guys have you dated before me?” His wife doesn’t reply. Instead, she just gazes at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Worried he’s upset her, the husband quickly backtracks. “It’s fine, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.” But she still doesn’t speak. He tries comforting her with a hug and a kiss, hoping to smooth things over.
After a long silence, his wife finally snaps out of her trance and glares at him. “Seriously?” she says. “I was counting, and now you’ve ruined my train of thought!”
The joke takes a lighthearted turn, proving that sometimes, the best answer is no answer at all—or at least one that ends in laughter!
