Back when his (warfare-trained) (Israeli) wife was pregnant and crying all the time and saying he didn't understand her and what she was going through, he would be like, "But you do not understand me, I too am giving birth - to my dissertation!"
Then, he would tell her how it was actually much worse to be giving birth to a dissertation, since pregnancy was something you just put up with and had to get through, whereas a dissertation required active effort.

Are they still married? What a self-centered jerk.
spoken like a true man.
It's a joke! He was needling his wife a bit.
Really?
Yes, his wife can be a bit dramatic. He was being bombastic and trying to claim pity in a patently jack-assish way.
What did his wife have to say about his comment?
She was pissed off. But I think it kept her from complaining about small things in the future, by focusing her on the bigger ones.
