- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

We try to engage in each other's interest, even though we have completely different hobbies. My wife is quite spiritual, so when she learns something new, we discuss it and I try to understand it and I challenge the topic and we have a good talk about it.
My interests are mainly about technical stuff, and she tries to understand what I'm working on.
But mainly we stare into the void for a good hour after kids are put to bed, and then we discuss practical and mundane boring stuff. But, we insist on being more than roommates that shares responsibilities, so when we aren't sleep deprived or too overwhelmed by parenthood, we have deep conversations. We also work a lot on our selves. We have high ambitions for our self and what kind of life we want for our family, so we talk about our dreams and how we best realise them.
