People weren't sure whether to laugh or be concerned for TikToker 'The Leighton Show'.

The Leighton Show is a popular TikTok and Instagram account billed as a “Relationship and Parenting ‘Humor'” page. It's dedicated to a Maine husband and father apologizing to his wife and kids for a slew of minor or ridiculous grievances.

The Leighton portrays himself as a screw-up who's trying his best to be better.


The page boasts a following of over 397K TikTokers and 11M views. Viewers either get the jokes or miss them completely.

One of the clips on the page is a compilation of "Wife Apology Greatest Hits."

You can see the clip, which received over 129K likes, here.

Sorry #husbandwife #marriedlife #apologize #humor

In the tongue-in-cheek clip, the husband apologized for the time he "went upstairs for the night without announcing it.”

He explained he was planning to stage a "solo version" of going up the stairs like the children from Sound of Music as a way to make amends.

He also apologized for the time he "applied the brakes in order to save our lives," but went on to add:

"I underestimated the trauma that the change in momentum would create for her."

The husband also recalled "minding my own business standing in the kitchen when she wanted to open the drawer in front of me."

"Obviously, I should've dove out of the way as soon as I sensed her slightest movement."

The "hits" kept coming.

"I momentarily faced her with my hot breath breathing on her face," he said of the time he slept facing the wrong way.

He added:

"As I've covered separately, I should be facing the wall the entire night, despite the chronic shoulder pain it causes."

A handful of users weighed in with either concern or sarcasm—we really need that sarcasm font.

But a majority of his followers thought his deadpan delivery was hysterical.

Some even found his predicaments relatable.

One person joked they became disenchanted with the concept of marriage.

In a more recent clip, Leighton shared an anecdote from the time he apologized to his wife again, this time for getting sick.

"That's my bad," he said, "When I was a baby I should've talked to my parents about moving us to a farm so I can build a stronger immune system."

And there was another time when he said the roof leaked again, and he expressed his regrets for not risking his life to "climb up on the roof and brought a bunch of sponges or something."

They say marriage takes work.

Apparently, this one requires a lot of apologies.
