@topherbaron I’m a much better football gambler than horses. Not even close. But it’s not as sexy. Give me the 2 minute race and quick thrill instead of the Browns +3.5 vs. Saints crap fest.
I mean, just an all-time TV segment. Making Chuck do Who He Play For multiple times in a row with the same players is a brilliant idea and I was legit crying laughing by the end, my god.

Maybe the most important commercial ever made. You should watch it very carefully, pay close attention, and then make sure that your own family and home life are exactly the opposite of this ad in every single respect. I don't think that's the takeaway Apple had in mind however.
Update: After carefully reviewing the 2,000+ comments from relationship experts, marriage counselors, child psychologists, and people who have never met me, my wife, or my kids, I have decided to stay married after all.
I had no idea that “drifting apart” was code for “you’re a weak cuck whose wife is already soft-launching her work husband.” Thank you for the diagnosis.
I’ll just schedule a rekindle date night, suck it up, and ignore the fact that two adults mutually decided this wasn’t working. Turns out the only correct choice is to stay in a relationship neither of us wants so random people on the internet don’t feel sad about my daughters.
Also, special thanks to everyone who explained that selling the house is me “forcing the kids out of their family home.” You’re right—houses are sacred and can never be replaced by any other structure where the same parents still love and raise the same kids. I’ll just keep the house forever even if we’re not living in it as a couple. Easy.
And of course, the most important insight: my daughters are now permanently and irreversibly broken for the rest of their lives. Childhood ended the second we told them. Every future relationship, career, and mental health outcome is already ruined. Doesn’t matter that we’ll still both be actively raising them, that there were no fights, or that plenty of kids turn out fine after amicable divorces—those real-world details are irrelevant next to the expert consensus of strangers on X. The trauma is locked in forever. My bad.
And to the people calling this attention-seeking: yes, I posted a short update because people were asking where I’d been, then immediately got ratioed by thousands of strangers who definitely care deeply about the emotional well-being of children they’ve never met. Totally normal and not at all performative.
Appreciate all the unsolicited advice. The girls and I are doing fine. I’ll be back when I need more life coaching from anonymous accounts.
My wife and I decided to get a divorce.
There were no fights, just two adults who realised they drifted apart from each other.
This is probably the hardest thing I had to go through.
First of all, telling our girls...seeing them so sad was heartbreaking. But we are still a team as parents and will do everything for them!
Also we have to sell our house, the house I wanted to live in forever and raise my kids in...
Going back to a smaller appartment will be rough.
I still have a lot of to handle, that's why I wasn't active here on X.
I'm really grateful for all the people who reached out and asked where I was 🙏🏼
This women will always be a part of my life, she gifted me with two perfect daughters.
I wish her all the best, great memories were made in those years!
I'll be back soon. Thank you everyone 🙏🏼
