re: #257 Targetpractice

We were laughing about that over Thanksgiving this year. My aunt and uncle, when married, used to fight almost constantly. No physical violence, because my uncle would sooner hurt himself than a woman, so it almost always ended up in him sleeping on somebody else’s couch for a couple days/weeks until they made up in time for the next big fight. Finally they got divorced about 8 years ago and he moved out. Well, within a year, they were living together again, only this time on friendly terms. And for the last 7 years, the two have been good friends while living in the same house they’d live in while married. Legally, they’re married again under common law, but decided they just preferred being friends instead.

There are some people you really are much better suited to be friends than romantic partners with.

No, really, I know this one. It only took me 2.5 years to figure it out.
