Red pill effectively kills your current spouse and kids if you have any. Also trying to re-engineer the relationship with your original spouse all over again seems like it'd be really creepy. If you go back, you effectively need to find someone else. Couldn't do that.

The kid won't exist. The spouse will be fine, though maybe not with you

[–] greenskye@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but you're throwing away your current spouse and kid in favor of a do over. That's pretty cold.

Is it unethical to leave a partner? Should we censure Paul Simon for 50 ways to leave your lover?

(Not addressing the kid bit, since it does seem a tad cold to unexistify someone for little fault of their own, also no one but you mentioned kids)

I mean if you were going to divorce your partner, then by all means take the red pill. You'd probably both be better off then. I was speaking of presumably happy marriages.

I guess if you're in the perfect partnership you and your partner could simultaneously take the red pill :)
