Loving Relationship Matrix

I thought this category needed a new thread.
I found this incredible relationship matrix I find annoying.
I am sure it is done with all good intentions and you can buy it for $5.Do you sense my contradictions? I want to think the best but something is prickling about it. I hope a 13 year old isn't trying to make money and here I am mocking. I would feel bad but it is so simplistic on face value. Am I wrong?

agreed, some people will take any general advice and try to make people pay for it

Such as life coaches. ha Knew one of those.

Too bad they come with grandiose baggage.
I'm feeling very critical spirited :(

Wow, that is really trippy.

If you see that hanging in your marriage counselor's office, RUN!

Might be worth $5 just to hang someplace as a constant reminder, of all the possibilities, all the details, that are easy to forget in the day-to-day. That's all the shit you think of when you're stoned, contemplating your navel, then promptly forget when the baby starts screaming.

Don't shoot the messenger for making a couple bucks, it was probably was expensive to print... and you don't have to buy it.

Bruce wants one for Christmas so he doesn't forget while he's smoking pot.

( and the baby will be crying in the background )

What the hell would a misanthrope need one of them for? :headshake

Well, are misanthropes diplomatic?

I point out that you were the only one with anything nice to say.

Very un misanthropic like of you.

at a glance it looks like Beavis and Butthead are kissing, just to the right of the heart.

We can if we want, but don't feel obligated to do so.

Or the only one to admit it's impossible to keep all the points illustrated on that poster in mind, when dealing with day-to-day. Maybe a visual reminder would lower the divorce rate, at least reduce the stress level.
It's easy to say, Bah, I already know all that shit, but how often do you think about it, until it's in retrospect after you've fucked up?

Reducing the heat & friction of those around me, makes driving easier. :p
