Anyone bought a squat rack for home? Want to know whether you need to fix to the floor or it can be just free standing...

I have a free standing one and it works great: Merax Barbell Rack 550LBS Max Load Adjustable Squat Stand Dipping Station Gym Weight Bench Press Stand. Note that my gym room has wall to wall carpet on the floor. It’s solid and never moves.

As long as your floor is relatively level it should be fine. I have a free standing “sumo” squat rack because my basement ceiling is too low for a full size rack. Works great for my needs. Looks like this:

Married for 14 years with 5 kids. Since the start, my wife has had anger issues. She’s not violent, but will go on ‘anger benders’ for days where she cannot be kind to me, stonewalls, and even leaves. Sometimes this is based on a bad argument; most recently, it’s based in a story she conjured up and believes about me having an affair with my neighbor, even though it is 100% false and I’ve tried to show her that. Is this a sign of a personality disorder? Or something else? How can I support her?
