I am glad you qualified by framing it as a "genuine" question

Otherwise i might have misinterpreted

Marrying my wife is and will always be the single best decision I’ve ever made.

@MD1 - feel the same way. Marriage is really about playing life in co-op mode. Everything else is sugar on top. The sugar can be amazing and great too, but definitely one of the most important things for me was finding a good life partner

Depends on what you mean by "worth it" and if that is quantitative or qualitative. I didn't mind the tax break as I'm the hoh, and it gave me peace of mind formalizing the commitment. But if I was 28 today vs then I might have a different opinion on it. It's definitely not necessary in this day and age.

Hello fishes, I joined IBM on 16th Aug 2021 as a Data Scientist and was offered 1L joining bonus. Will I have to pay back the joining bonus if I leave IBM on 16th Aug 2022 , i.e , after completing 1 year ?

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)
