    My ex-spouse accused me of cheating on him.

    …with a character in the video game.

    …because I “clearly love him more that you love me!”

    Whenever he’d be upset (for whatever reason), he would snap and say “Why don’t you go talk to the person you actually love??” before giving me the silent treatment until he needed something.

    It was the beginning of the end.

    Don’t miss it lol

    EDIT: oh fuck, I forgot… he actually sold our PS4 containing the game/save file completely out of the blue a few months after his first accusation, without telling me first. The game in question was “Stardew Valley”. He was a shitty little man.

      Did you date my former coworker? I used to use a chartreuse coathanger because it was the only one of that color, which made it easy for me to spot. One day, as I was putting my coat away, this coworker started talking as if we were already mid-way through an argument. “It’s so green. I don’t know why you said it’s yellow.” Huh? I had no idea what he was talking about at first. I asked if he meant my coathanger, and I responded that I didn’t know what color it was. (I didn’t know what “chartreuse” meant yet.) He ranted on, claiming we fought about it once before, even though this was the first time he’d even talked about my coathanger. It was bizarre.

      I think that guy had something psychologically troubling going on. I’d also seen him: ask a question, make up an answer for that question, then immediately proceed to believe the answer he made up with 100% certainty. The question? “How do those Magic Eraser cleaning sponges work?” His answer? “They use paint.” I asked how it could possibly match the color of every surface it’s used on, but he insisted his answer must be right. Truly magical thinking.

      I also saw him watch an ad for a random product, then promptly declare that he needed that product. I had always thought of ads as something to tune out, but he legit followed them as if they were friends giving advice. I had never seen anything like that.

      Was this a debate about tennis balls? My spouse and I have had this exact disagreement!

      Colour theory is extremely complicated and you can’t really tell from an RGB value in isolation that it represent a colour “exactly halfway” between green and yellow. Colour is perceptual, not a physical phenomenon, and this has significant meaningful consequences. But I’m glad you found a narrative that saved your marriage.

        Yellow is Red + Green, so half way between Yellow and Green would be what, 50% Red + 100% Green?

        Like you said, color is perceptual, and not only will everyone’s eyes have a slightly different sensitivity for each wavelength, each display will have a slightly different calibration for its RGB channels.
        If the original color was in real life, the camera sensor would also be taking the full light spectrum and collapsing it into 3 RGB values, and the camera sensor’s sensitivity/calibration will determine the ratio it converts a yellow wavelength into red and green. (Or maybe the real object isn’t actually yellow, but pure red-+green light, it’s impossible to tell after converting to RGB)

          It also depends on the viewing device and the response curves of each subpixel element, colourspace transformations both incidental and intentional (eg colour temperature), other nearby colours, viewing environment conditions, mood and physical temperature of the viewer, psychological priming, and gott knows how many other circumstances.

    We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled “slate” when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my “this is the brown couch” position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.

      Do you still have the picture? We’d love to see.

      Poor couch 😥

      One can also have endless arguments about the color turquoise. Is it rather green, or rather blue? Same as teal I guess.

        I had very constructive arguments about this with my grandma :

        • Can you fetch one the green tiles ?
        • What green tile ? You only have blue ones.
        • Goes to fetch it herself. See ? A tile, and it’s green.
        • But it’s clearly blue…
        • I don’t know what you mean, can’t you see that it’s green ?
        • I can see very clearly that it’s blue.
        • No this is green, this is blue, and the tile is closest to green.
        • It isn’t though, it’s definitely closest to blue.
        • A while later
        • This is pointless… Let’s just call it turquoise.
        • Turquoise it is.
        • The next time
        • Your new oven mittens are quite nice, the blue goes well in your kitchen.
        • They are green…

        The answer to that question is “no”.
        It’s turquoise. You wouldn’t argue about whether orange is yellow or red, either.

          You can remark on how that orange is closer to red, and how that one is closer to yellow though

    My ex-girlfriend worked at a restaurant and they had an annual staff party which was just a house party at the manager’s house. When we opened the door and started taking our shoes off one of the new server girls was shouting at the manager “Don’t call me Lonestar!” and he was like “Yeah whatever Lonestar” and she screamed at the top of her lungs “DON’T CALL ME FUCKING LONESTAR!!!” and shoved him hard, he fell backwards and landed on his ass and she screamed a battle cry and started punching holes in the drywall, busting up her knuckles and bleeding everywhere. We put our shoes back on and just left. She got fired
