Edit: Although I’m about to write the equivalent of a blog post about bananas on this forum, so seriousness isn’t my focus.

Do it.

Tag me when you do. I don’t know what it is, but I know it will be good.

No pressure.

@Njord

We didn’t have a problem.

I wasn’t referring to you specifically, just those couples who choose to have one parent work while the other stays home with the children.

If I were given the choice between having my ex work, so I wouldn’t be paying any support to her, vs paying it so my kid wouldn’t be raised by strangers, I’m choosing the latter. Blood is blood.

@Njord

Contracts should be enforced in a one-sided manner and without consideration for ethics, fiduciary responsibility or continuance.

Like what the dead CEO in question did?

Take note people, that is sarcasm.

And it’s sarcasm inception at that! Kudos.

I think that’s great. Work it out with your ex. Don’t make it a systematic problem for everybody.

Or people could just stay married and raise their children as a family.

There’s the irony of someone arguing for contracts.

[Andrewgen_Receptors]

I think some people in this thread argue like people who lose arguments with their wives.

[zecarlo]

If a man thinks he’s winning arguments with his wife it’s because she’s keeping receipts.

@Andrewgen_Receptors

people who lose arguments with their wives.

This is a fun new topic. How do you determine a win or a loss?

@zecarlo

This is amazing relationship advice.

@Brant_Drake

You already win. I told you contracts should be ignored, I was wrong. It’s silly for them to exist. Even though they ironically solve systematic problems. But I’m not going to define “contracts” for you. Or follow the red herring and strawman tangents. You’re better than Zecarlo.

[Njord]

@zecarlo

Or people could just stay married and raise their children as a family.

Or they could just never get married and start a family.

[Brant_Drake]

@Njord

I was wrong

[Andrewgen_Receptors]

@Brant_Drake

You win when you dont engage in the bullshit.

You lose when you engage in the bullshit.

[Silyak]

I honestly can’t remember the last time I was in an argument with a “winner.” My wife and I argue either because we have an important decision and need to make sure we make the right decision or for intellectual stimulation. In neither case do we have a winner.

[zecarlo]

I win when I get her to drop an F bomb.

[Njord]

When you’re right, you’re right

[Brant_Drake]

I said do not disturb, that’s very rude.

Now I have to start over.

@zecarlo

If a man thinks he’s winning arguments with his wife it’s because she’s keeping receipts.

Only if keeping reciepts means “grudge fucking your friend” or “already spoke to an attorney”.

“Ok, you win” should be the last words any married man should want to hear.

[jshaving]

What does this even mean? Does winning mean everything goes your way all the time?
