NP. I mean if you equate judging someone as a “jerk” on the internet to judging how you pick a spouse, I would say you do have very poor judgement. |
You haven’t revealed yours. 😘 |
Actually, I think I have. 😇 |
Actually, I know you haven’t. 🥳 |
Maybe that's the difference. If you have a spouse who is difficult and with very different interests than yours, everything will be a battle with no middle ground. All of life is a series of choices, so in a marriage there's going to be thousands of choices to make together. |
Being a jerk worse than picking a lousy spouse. The former is a mistake, the latter is the product of malice. |
Your opinion is worth as much as your anonymous internet posts. 💸 |
The “jerk” thing is subjective. Just because someone is truthful and you don’t like it doesn’t make them a jerk. Picking the wrong spouse is profoundly bad. Everyone is a jerk at times, including you. Picking a wrong spouse is for life. |
Your opinion is worth as much as the dog shit you don’t pick up. 💩 |
Uh, no. -DP |
I agree with this. My marriage is the best part of my life, and gets me through the other hard parts. Parenting (especially teenagers) is hard. Dealing with declining parents is hard. |
So if the latter is malice, that would point to picking a spouse as worse. You wrote picking a spouse last so that would be the latter. |
Both are subjective, actually. Someone may believe that they picked the wrong spouse but it was the best spouse for them. Or there could be an unintended positive outcome from their marriage, like personal growth and understanding or a child with a really positive impact on the world. There are no benefits to writing nasty comments on the internet beyond entertainment value. Even if the value is subjective, even if one person thinks you are being a jerk you are lowering the value of the DCUM for them and other people too. |
The nasty comments came from the ones accusing another of being a jerk. Calling someone a jerk should tell you who the jerk is. They are in fact devaluing dcum themselves with calling any one with a different viewpoint from them juvenile names. |
The not strangling on a daily basis...to begin with...and that is why I am educating my daughters. Marriage to a man means bowing down or digging those spurs in forever. |
