You can tell it's made up because it has "it's said that" in it.

Forget about what's normal for getting over a fight. You know what's not normal? Getting into a screaming match with your partner every month.

I really can't stress enough, that's not ok. Not a healthy relationship, not a safe environment for your children, and not a good example for them to follow in the future.

You need couple's counselling ASAP because this pattern has to stop.

Nonograms are great for puzzles that are hard enough to be satisfying when you solve them, but easy enough to be relaxing. I use Picture Cross Color on iphone.

Completely disagree, but upvoted for having a well-argued, unpopular opinion which is kind of the point of this thread!

Bit melodramatic.

Great comment. We have the same thing here in Australia with tobacco laws. The most recent change was to ban almost all branding on cigarette packaging. They're not allowed to use fonts, slogans, logos, or colours, just the brand name in plain text on a standard brown-green box.

The logic being that branding makes a product more attractive to a consumer. Make it duller and less people will buy it.

Tobacco companies fought it tooth and nail. Kept arguing it wouldn't stop people from smoking. Well then why are you lobbying so hard against it? Obviously the only reason they will ever fight anything is because they think it will hurt their revenue. So whatever they oppose, I support.

What you said is often true but not always. Some communities prefer person-first language, some prefer identity first language.

For example, generally speaking, "autistic people" is preferred over "people with autism". The reasoning being "this is just part of who I am, it's not an affliction that I have."

I'm not autistic but I have lots of friends who are, and they all prefer to say "I'm autistic" rather than "I have autism".

Like you said, it's best to ask, or just copy the language that the person uses for themself.
