Couple arguments: who is right?
Had a fight with your girlfriend or boyfriend? Blanket theft, watching ahead, left on read. See who the court blamed.
The court does not rule on relationships, only on the specific thing that happened on Tuesday. Couples bring it disputes about time, food, screens and bedding. Both partners are found at fault more often here than anywhere else.
- Both at fault
Who should get up to turn off the light in bed?
The partner closer to the switch turns it off, unless the other one turned it on and left it. When neither is closer, it alternates.
Read the ruling - Not guilty
Is it rude to fall asleep during a movie your partner picked?
No, if the movie was long and started late. The partner who chooses a three-hour film at bedtime accepts the risk.
Read the ruling - Guilty
Who should plan date night in a relationship?
Date night should be planned in turns, so that neither partner becomes the event staff. Saying "surprise me" counts as passing, not planning.
Read the ruling - Guilty
Is it fair for one partner to take most of the closet?
No, a shared closet is split roughly in half. More space for one partner needs an agreement, not a slow advance.
Read the ruling - Both at fault
Who controls the thermostat when couples disagree?
The thermostat is shared, so neither partner gets the final word. The colder person may add a blanket before anyone touches the dial.
Read the ruling - Not guilty
Is it normal to steal the blanket at night?
It is normal, and since it happens in your sleep the court does not hold it against you. You still owe a solution.
Read the ruling - Guilty
Is it rude to take an hour longer than you said to get ready?
Yes. A time given to someone who is waiting is a promise, and 100 minutes past it is a broken one.
Read the ruling - Guilty
Is it wrong to leave your partner on read?
Yes, when you are visibly online and choose not to answer. Being busy is a defense; posting stories while not replying is not.
Read the ruling - Guilty
Is it wrong to watch ahead on a show you watch with your partner?
Yes. A show you agreed to watch together is a joint project, and watching ahead without saying so is a breach of it.
Read the ruling - Guilty
If one partner cooks, should the other do the dishes?
Yes. The person who did not cook cleans up, unless the cook used every pot in the kitchen, which the court considers separately.
Read the ruling - Both at fault
Who should pick the restaurant when neither of you wants to?
Whoever says "anything is fine" and then rejects the options has to choose. When both do it, both are at fault.
