I need some relationship advice. I suggested 125% but my wife won't budge from 10%. Is this normal? How did it go when you had this conversation with your romantic partner?

Ive no plan to meet second best nor be second best and I wouldn't want to put someone through that nor go through it.

We live in a world of consumption and throw away culture, we should have more respect then to inflict these ideas on living breathing and feeling people.

Fuck that guy and his creed.

I seriously doubt that's his creed.

It's clearly meant as a parody of the way relationships end, but said out loud, in advance, to show the absurdity of exactly what you called out: "trading up" out of a relationship.

The whole point of his post, was to get people to realize how shitty it is to think of people that way.

No this guy is a guru and has influenced a lot of silicon valley with this type of "parody" look him up if you haven't already.

Oof, fair enough. I just ran head first into Poe's law. Thank you for the added context. Yeah, he's a piece of shit then.
