          The marital equivalent of “it’s a republic not a democracy”. Or: If you don’t agree with me, you don’t deserve to have a say.

        Reminds me of those flat earthers who keep coming up with ways they think will prove the earth is flat, but then it proves the opposite, and they’re just like “we did something wrong, let’s try this instead”. Rather than just accept the base is flawed.

      Pay income taxes or pay alimony and lose my assets in a divorce…gosh, I’d have to consult a CPA on that one…this isn’t something I should do the math on myself. It’s too important to me and to my online homeless sovereign allies.

      Ooh I love when they disagree about the particular form of nonsense they believe in. “No, you did this thing someone made up wrong, you have to do it the way I made up!” It makes a it a lot easier to justify when everything they try fails, I guess. But something tells me the OP should probably just look at what paperwork he needs for a divorce.
