My parents slept in separate rooms my whole childhood. I asked my dad about it once. He said they made a deal early because my mum snores and he tosses. He said they sat down one evening and talked it through like a business meeting. His words. He said the first night apart they both slept like babies. He said they were happier than they had ever been. He never told people. Because when he said separate rooms they said oh I'm sorry. He said he was never sorry.

With few details and many unanswered questions, we must demand better and a reversal of this approach.
Today, the main difference between Pakistan and India is Pakistan receives rent for its geopolitical role while India pays rent for its geopolitical role.
In different ways, both India and Pakistan are trying to safeguard US geopolitical interests in an emerging multipolar world that is eroding US power and influence elsewhere.
