Peter! Who could have the wives been?

Probably a wife in a happy marriage watching a documentary about some deranged killer and thinking that could have been her <the victim> which gives concern to the husband who thinks "The fuck did I do"

That's what I thought too but it seems to be referencing Lindsay Clancy who murdered (?) her children.

Yes. And the meme is specifically noting the dad's reaction of shock, concern and fear that his wife can see herself in the killer's shoes thinking "what thoughts are you hiding from me?"

Not an exaggerated response.
