Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

If a couple has been dating for less than one year, and I see them bicker or fight, I think they should break up. Not because they shouldn't bicker or fight. But because I shouldn't be seeing it. You shouldn't be letting your personal squabbles spill out into the nice potluck the rest of us are having. If I see this happen, I assume that either (1) the couple has some major incompatibility that is so contentious that it can't help but spill out in inappropriate moments or (2) one or both of the couple lacks the maturity to discuss their personal problems in private like adults.
