People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I wouldn't take it so literally. Linda is a placeholder for the wife's grievances over her husband. She is claiming that he might as well have a different hypothetical partner who is willing to put up with his antics and not get upset about it.
When people use their dreams as an excuse to express frustration, they don't mean that what happened in their dream is real. They mean that the outcome of the dream is congruent with their grievances that they are unable to express without a device.
I don't think this is a particularly healthy way of dealing with it, but just trying to give people some insight before dismissing their partners as crazy.
Sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through to avoid talking about your problems like an adult.
If talking about your problems like adults were easy, therapists wouldn't have jobs.
