I disagree. With most women I know, this isn’t the kind of thing you can joke around about. I see your point though, because ultimately it depends on the kind of dynamics a specific couple has. From the sounds of it, OP doesn’t have a very clear line of communication with his wife. If she’s the kind of person who will shout and cry to get her way, she will defeinitely not respond well to a comment like this. She might even percieve this as a “threat” and end up acting out because of this. It’s much better to settle the matter peacefully.

Well then, she will shout and cry once. She will at least begin to understand. Sometimes all someone needs is a little “aha!” moment. That could he hers. Trying to make her happy is all he can do and if she doesn’t learn, he has to set her straight with tough love. She will come to know he is not actually going to leave or get a second wife but hopefully, she will see things from his perspective.
