15 years for assaulting children seems appropriate.

the other downplays them. Neither are being honest

"I shot my foot off"

"You have a tiny hangnail"

In reality, it's a medium sized hangnail.

"Both sides are dishonest"

I dated for 18 years before I found the right person. I met her at a friend's party. We were all just standing around chatting, and at the end of the night I asked for her number because she was fun to talk to.

I met 18 years of wrong people using dating apps, at activities in school and after, and at various parties. All those methods are fine.

I have never once communicated with a complete stranger in person. It was always a friend of a friend, or we know each other from something, or talk first on apps.

There's no trick to it. Just talk to people. If you struggle to talk to girls, talk to guys. If you struggled to talk to guys, work on that by talking to more guys.

I leave it to the leopards :-)

I don't join in snacking on the corpse.

So she shouldn't worry because... she deserves it for choosing a lifestyle?

Oh right, I forgot the rule. People who make choices we don't agree with should have their children suffer. That keeps slipping my mind.

I don't agree with the idea that a couple should strictly split responsibilities and not be able to survive without each other, especially along antiquated gender lines. But I'm still going to have empathy for a broken home with children.

If you think that's not a reason to worry, you haven't tried to live on a fraction of a salary. You think costs are linear?

Cohabitation saves a lot of money. Divorce breaks that.
