Y'ALL GOTTA CHILL WITH YOUR THEORIES. SHE HAS EXPLAINED THE SONG TONS OF TIMES.
Me and My Husbandā explores the loneliness Mitski felt while writing the album, although this time she takes on the persona of a suburban housewife. As she explained to GQ:
If youāre a suburban mom surrounded by family with a nice life you still feel alone. On tour, Iām surrounded by people all the time but itās lonely.
Despite the songs upbeat tone the lyrics portray a housewife stubbornly sticking by her husband even though she may not be happy. Mitski claims the song isnāt personal and isnāt meant to be reflection of her views on marriage or settling down as she told The Outline:
I try to keep a sense of humor about all this stuff. Iām not married, I donāt have a husband, but I was just thinking about being a woman with a man in a long term relationship. I used a stereotype of the suburban, old-fashioned housewife to kind of accentuate my point.

It doesnāt say āmeā or āmyā but ā me and my husbandā āusā āwere sticking togetherā like she isnāt her own person. When alone she is ātaking up spaceā but with him she is ābetterā. āMe and him foreverā like she is clinging to him because she isnāt her own person.

everyone talking about the wife not loving her husband, but I think this is more a wife that loves her husband too much, but the relationship is not going too great, so she's is afraid of him leaving her and try to sing to convince herself that she's is loved, that she and her husband will be staying together.

Lyrics because I couldnāt find them in the comments
I steal a few breaths from the world for a minute
And then I'll be nothing forever
And all of my memories
And all of the things I have seen will be gone
With my eyes, with my body, with me
But me and my husband
We are doing better
It's always been just him and me
Together
So I bet all I have on that
Furrowed brow
And at least in this lifetime
We're sticking together
Me and my husband
We're sticking together
And I'm the idiot with the painted face
In the corner, taking up space
But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved
Me and my husband
We are doing better
It's always been just him and me
Together
So I bet all I have on that
Furrowed brow
And at least in this lifetime
We're sticking together
Me and my husband
We're sticking together
Me and my husband
We are doing better

all the theories about what this song means are really sad compared to mine. i like to think the song is about a wife talking about her husband, and how the two of them are living better and happier lives with eachother after they both came from shitty backgrounds. and now in marriage, the two finally have the happily ever after they deserved, a loving husband and wife on their journey through life thatās taken a turn for the better

either she hates her husband because he's abusive, or he's the only person she has anymore and he makes her feel happy when he's around.
