I don’t think the joke’s really about that. I, for one, can totally imagine my wife losing her shit for saying “it’s okay babe” in ANY context in such a stressful situation. It’s not that the husband is a pos. It’s just that he may be totally unprepared to deal with the consequences of his well-meaning encouragement.
