Thanks for replying to this. I'm not in Lemmy nearly as much as I would like.

I just want to note that the comment you replied to is wrong. Call it a quirk of my personality, but I like to ask the opposite of what's expected. The example I gave in another reply was walking in to a room where people are watching sports, instead of asking "who is winning?" As most would, I instead ask "who is losing?". The information is the same either way, provided you know who is playing, stating the loser implies who the winner is.

I don't mean to imply all marriages are unhappy, I just simply flipped the script, so to speak, and instead of saying they have the same right to a happy marriage, I say the opposite, not because I think they're doomed to be unhappy in marriage, but because people usually expect an implication of everyone being happy in marriage.

I think the reason I do this is because it makes people think about their response more than if they're asked what people expect them to ask. But IDK, I'm no psychiatrist.

Either way, I appreciate your comments here, and I wanted to leave you a note to say so, and provide a bit of information. I hope you have a great day.
