“Marriage changes the roles that you fill (at least in a heterosexual one). The wife works full time but also becomes “responsible” for a lot more things like housework and the emotional stability of the relationship, whereas the husband works and comes home and watches TV.”

We did, actually.

“And therein, your husband (or wife, even) who was previously the perfect spouse, turns out to not be the support that you need.”

Blow me :)

I completely disagree.

“A long of women end up finding themselves in this situation. Are they all idiots?”

Blow me :)

Never said I had one.

*sucks air through teeth*

Ted Cruz can finally go home.

Blow me :)

Which is fine. If you accept the imperfections and whatever else, that’s fine. We’re not talking about happy couples here.

“People who can’t manage the simple task of creating contingency plans for any and all potential child-related variables while dating are idiots.”

Then you shouldn’t have had a kid. A huge part of the decision to have one is making sure that you can make everything (everything) work beforehand. You have to plan for every single possible contingency and hurdle. That way, even if the way you did things pre-child is totally different from the way you do them…

Ted’s just trying to get home.

It sampled the bassline and just laid it over a lame 90's b-boy drum track. I mean, there’s being similar and then just straight sampling without license.

Agreed. Just look at this comment section. You’ve got some people saying “of course it’s the same song” and others like me saying they can’t hear it at all. You can’t base a co-writing credit award on a personal opinion on a matter so wildly open to interpretation.

Nnnnnnnnnnnngh, if THAT’S the kicker, that’s nearly as bad as “sorry, Marvin Gaye’s family says you can’t write any more songs with disco drums or a sparse musical arrangement.”

Very well could be. What a goddamn disaster that ruling could turn out to be, if you now have to share credit with whatever musical ambulance chaser (rolling piano chaser?) comes at you first with a song that uses the same 4 notes in the same order as yours.

Congrats on getting out of a doomed relationship. May all women who find themselves in similar situations be as strong-willed.
