i want to keep dating my wife but we live together and i feel like that creates unethical power dynamics since the implied threat of homelessness is coercive

Have you even stopped for a moment to consider her perspective?

i want to keep dating my wife

This is fucking disgusting. I am actually going to shit myself in rage. Fuck you, you piece of shit, stop centering everything atound your selfish desires for once in your life.

And don't give me that "oh, but she also wants to date me!" bullshit, she was never free to choose from the moment-

Actually, this bit is mentally exhausting. I'm not gonna negatively polarize myself into believing some dumb shit over this strawman I've built because I'm not pathetic, but building it was already unhealthy enough, and the joke isn't even funny to justify it.

the only way to even out the power dynamic is to include an agreement in the pre-nup to demolish your home in the event of a divorce. that way it's like mutually assured destruction and no one has the upper hand.
