My goal for the day, is to be a B+ husband. Liked that.

More likely an inside joke they've had for years.
The joke is "be positive"
That's clever. I didn't even think of that. I wonder if the "'A' Wife" is also a pun/play on words?
I read it as either “he made some mistake that many people would consider unforgivable, but don’t judge a human by their worst day. We worked through it and overcame because he’s a good person at heart and I love him.”

That, or “I’m a demanding brat and you love me ”

Before recent grade inflation, B+ was better than mediocre.
He knew he was an A+ for letting her have more love at the end with the throuple. That’s class. That’s love. Bear with the swoosh for 1.5 years so your wife of 42 is happy. God he must be crushed right now.
Either I'm missing your joke, or you missed the joke in the post. The throuple was with a respirator, not another person.
I read it as rolling with her own joke and lightening the load on the B+ rating (obviously also expressed as a loving ribbing given the context around it)
This. The man was a saint till the very end.
You know that was a respirator right? It wasn't a real 'throuple'
All I know is that in my case, I wouldn't qualify myself as an A+, or even an A husband. Knowing my flaws, I'd be very pleased with a B+ score.
It looks like it was an in-joke and I doubt he’d be sore about it.
Nah, it shows he's chill and has good humor.
Eh, I think more optimistically, this is something her and her partner could joke about, and that he got a chuckle out of it.

I’m sure more heartfelt words were shared outside the scope of this obit.
