this sounds like you think you are saying something entirely novel. it is actually just common sense. see it is true there are many kinds of relationships, but there is only one type of relationship that resembles having a successful marriage and family, and it is quite special

If what I am saying is just common sense, then why is what you have to say "quite special"?

In all sincerity, it sounds like you're just talking out of your ass. The world exists around you, not inside your own mind. You are no more or less special than me.

i didnt claim what i said is special. i said that a particular relationship is special, a family relationship, and particularly that of marriage. i also think that this claim is common sense, and hope it continues to be common sense

So you meant the middle sentence to apply to the last one, not the first one.

So you are giving no thought to what I have said whatsoever; and are simply touting your own opinion as important.

Fuck you too?

With what? From who?

If you have already decided that the only person who matters in your life is your spouse, then you have already decided I don't matter.

So what in the world are you doing here? What do you seek to gain?

Everything you have said to me so far amounts to two words: "fuck you". How am I to respond? In kind? That is the question I asked earlier in 3.
