18 Memes To Send Your Partner To Make Them Laugh If They're Having A Bad Day

by Cosmo Luce

I love memes. If you're looking for memes to send your partner, you should hire me as your consultant. I love memes in the morning, memes in the evening, memes at suppertime. I have had entire relationships that took place over the course of two weeks of sharing memes. I have friends who I only communicate with when I see a meme that makes me think of them. And that means that I have a meme for every situation — including any given reason that your partner might need cheering up right now.

They say that laughter is the best medicine, and in 2017, the surest way to making someone laugh from afar is through sending them a really good meme. Pictures of puppies or small children being chased by even smaller ponies works, too, if your partner is really down in the dumps. But memes, unlike Google image searches of adorable animals, are the gifts that keep on giving. When you send a good meme, it's basically encouraging somebody to pay it forward. In fact, one might even go so far as to say that meme-sharing is a form of community building and mutual care.

Here are the best memes to send your partner when they're having a horrific day — for any reason — and you want to cheer them up.

1. When They're Griping About Their Worst Fears
