IS MY WIFE JUST - LAZY?!? Freedomain Call In
"I have been with my wife for 20 years (married for 10). We have a four-year-old son. The last two years of our marriage have been a continuous downhill slope, culminating in a crash this June.
"I've been working a lot, and she has felt lonely. We developed an unfortunate relationship dynamic: when I tried to get closer, she would push me away, which made me try less. About three years ago, she started doing parkour (free running and jumping), which I wasn't happy about. I thought it's rather risky, and if she wants to stay fit, she could engage in less risky and easier-to-arrange activities. If she needs company, she could find it elsewhere. She ended up breaking her arm doing parkour.
"This spring, she got really close with a guy at parkour, and they fell in love. Initially, she wasn't very upfront about it, but she eventually told me. She also said that she is sorry. They only talked and hugged; nothing else happened, but she is very much in love with this other guy (she has butterflies), but has since stopped talking to him.
"Currently, we are going to marriage therapy and trying to fix this. She is also attending therapy on her own. Another relevant point is that I am the sole breadwinner in our relationship. We have an above-average financial situation (a beautiful home, multiple vacations each year, extreme sports, etc.), but finances have been an ongoing issue between us for many years.
"I acknowledge that I have made many mistakes in our relationship. I'm not very good at romance and tend to be a realist, logic-based person and I didn't pay enough attention to her needs. She is more the improvisational, go-with-the-flow type of person. I would like to fix our marriage, but right now, I feel lost. I really could use your help and insight.
"Thank you"

Why God Allows Evil!
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux addresses the question of why an all-powerful God allows evil, focusing on the importance of free will. He uses the analogy of a chess game to illustrate that while God provides the framework, humanity makes its own choices—both good and bad. Stefan compares divine authority to parental control, suggesting that just as parents encourage independence in children, God permits freedom that includes the potential for suffering. This tension between divine intervention and human autonomy is explored, culminating in the message that evil is a necessary byproduct of the freedom essential for moral development.

EVEN MORE ANSWERS TO ‘X’ LISTENER QUESTIONS 8!
Given that Plato's Allegory of the Cave seems to still apply to modern people, is there any hope of some day having a civilization rooted in reality?
If truly sentient and self-aware and self-motivated robots come to be, would you welcome them into the world as fellow beings worthy of respect?
Can an Atheist, like an Ex-muslim be a Christian at least culturally go to church and all, even if he can't find any rational way to believe that God exists. I know, I know it's a strange Question.
If the purpose of life is, as I think it is, to become a great mate, find a great mate, create a family, and raise kids who will be great mates themselves... what does the purpose of life become for people who can't, don't, or choose not to become parents?
Would moral standards exist, or need to exist, in a post-Singularity world where anyone can have anything they want, built by robotics, AI, and insanely advanced 3D printers?
My question is basically rooted in the notion that, once we have anything we want, what are moral standards worth?
Moral standards are worth ...

I had even more viewers than Jimmy Kimmel when I was banned out of existence.
No one cared.
Most cheered.
Don't let the bastards trick you into thinking they have any principles.
Their only 'principle' is POWER.
