    My ex-spouse accused me of cheating on him.

    …with a character in the video game.

    …because I “clearly love him more that you love me!”

    Whenever he’d be upset (for whatever reason), he would snap and say “Why don’t you go talk to the person you actually love??” before giving me the silent treatment until he needed something.

    It was the beginning of the end.

    Don’t miss it lol

    EDIT: oh fuck, I forgot… he actually sold our PS4 containing the game/save file completely out of the blue a few months after his first accusation, without telling me first. The game in question was “Stardew Valley”. He was a shitty little man.

      Was it the poet who lives on the beach? That was the only one I’d have been threatened by

    An ex wanted to break up because she was still in love with her ex. Her ex is in prison for decades after going on a rampage against homeless people and critically wounding at least a few. Live happybadger reaction: shrug-outta-hecks

      Was this a debate about tennis balls? My spouse and I have had this exact disagreement!

      Colour theory is extremely complicated and you can’t really tell from an RGB value in isolation that it represent a colour “exactly halfway” between green and yellow. Colour is perceptual, not a physical phenomenon, and this has significant meaningful consequences. But I’m glad you found a narrative that saved your marriage.

    We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled “slate” when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my “this is the brown couch” position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.

    My ex-girlfriend worked at a restaurant and they had an annual staff party which was just a house party at the manager’s house. When we opened the door and started taking our shoes off one of the new server girls was shouting at the manager “Don’t call me Lonestar!” and he was like “Yeah whatever Lonestar” and she screamed at the top of her lungs “DON’T CALL ME FUCKING LONESTAR!!!” and shoved him hard, he fell backwards and landed on his ass and she screamed a battle cry and started punching holes in the drywall, busting up her knuckles and bleeding everywhere. We put our shoes back on and just left. She got fired

    So this was part of a much bigger discussion and turned out in reality to be mostly due to some unaddressed mental health issues. But on the tail end of an argument, y’know when you’re starting to talk nice again and resolve things, I said something like it’s okay, sometimes you’re just a sad pancake. She burst into tears because she wanted to be a waffle. Hormones and mental health are wild, y’all.

      One time I was at a specialty beer and cheese shop and I saw this guy pushing a cart alone with two children. He generally looked beaten down and glum. The kids are rambunctious, he’s exhausted, wife is missing but obviously in the store with them.

      He is browsing the cases, killing time waiting for his wife to come back. He grabs a small block of cheese, looks interested it and adds it to the cart.

      A few minutes later, the wife returns and immediately spots the cheese block. She picks it up and screams “$10? For a block of cheese you haven’t even TRIED yet? Absolutely not.”

      Then she hurled it back in the case and stomped off while he sullenly followed her with the cart and kids
