It’s a one-liner joke that subverts your expectation of the phrase, “Losing a spouse is very difficult”. Your default reaction to that ought to be that of someone consoling someone else over the death of their spouse. In reality the joke teller is saying that getting rid of their spouse is hard to do.

Losing a spouse is a euphemism for the spouse dying. The joke is that it is difficult to go through the death of a spouse, but even harder if they live.
Took me a while too.

Yeah I read it as sort of a Rodney Dangerfield type joke
i.e. I can’t lose my wife no matter how hard I try

This isn't a joke, but chris's post reminded me how once in third grade, we were playing some fill-in-the-blank card game, and one of them was "a stitch in time _____"
I got it right with "saves nine" and the teacher and other kids were like, how on earth did you know that
And I did not know then, and do not know now, where I had ever heard it or what it even meant.
My grandma would always have sayings like that I can still remember some of them.
What she didn't know at the time was that I was trying to wrap my young mind around what kind of metaphysical needle would be needed to literally stich time together.

It means that if you have like, a piece of clothing or something that's about to rip or just starting to, mending it right away will save you from having to do more mending work in the future.

A friend of mine was fired from McDonalds for stealing supplies. They told him it was the last straw.
So, yesterday, Mr. Muzz was watching an episode of NCIS. Yes, I know, there's no accounting for taste, but whatever.
Anyways, the good guys are driving, passing a henchman of the bad guy, who pulls out a RPG out of the laundry hamper he was pushing from the hotel. He aims, but misses the good guys's car, only to hit a nearby taxi.
BOOM! Taxi goes up in a fireball.
Mr. Muzz remarks, "Well, it looks like the Taxi car didn't fare too well"
The kicker was that he didn't even know he'd punned, and couldn't figure out why I was groaning.

to be fair it's not hard to discover that I'm dumb

On the one hand, this is just fine, but on the other, it's just not right.
Do you suspect sinister motivations?
But the gripping hand comes third, I don't understand the problem here.

You can also ask her to tell a dirty joke:
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
He started a sentence with, “I spent most of the day trying to pull out...” and he just paused for a minute, which let me interject with, “Phrasing!”
It might have been a pause that allowed me to poke fun at him, but it wasn’t a pregnant pause.
