A Dead Philosopher Is Causing Chaos For This Couple On The /r/Relationships Subreddit
Why register for couples therapy when you can just submit your relationship problems for free to the subreddit /r/Relationships? Below is a tale that is definitely worth reading, but one that absolutely no one can relate to. A 33-year-old physicist is currently married to a 35-year-old academic philosopher who is infatuated with G. W. F. Hegel, a German philosopher whose work often denounced physics.
To make matters worse, her husband has replaced a photo on the background of his phone with Hegel's face, and she doesn't quite know what to do. Luckily, after this story was tweeted by the Twitter @redditships, users were able to step in and give her some excellent advice.
True, I feel like being in an open relationship with a great German thinker could have been discussed before marriage
