Housing restrictions not fair for individuals.

[Penthea]

It isn't really fair to treat couples as a single unit anyway. Just because some people are in a relationship doesn't mean they can't want their own personal house.

I'm okay with couples wanting separate houses. Different people have different tastes whether they're single or not. I just don't like how OP claims her husband is under great misfortune despite being among the lucky minority with access to housing. There are players who have had zero access to housing for years. These are the people the housing restrictions truly hurt. She'd have a better time getting SE's sympathies if she tried to represent them instead.

You aren't the first person to snap back with something about real life comparisons. I do not really appreciate you putting words in my mouth (the nuance of in-game content vs. actual real marriage counselling).

I didn't snap.

I didn't put words in your mouth.

You did make real life comparisons since marriage counseling is a real life thing that people use to tackle serious real life issues in marriages. The mocking idea that we have to add a marriage counseling feature in-game just because two people with two separate accounts want their own houses...it is kinda silly, sorry.

It still holds that if every married couple in-game had to get a house for themselves it would effectively halve the number of available homes, causing much more shortage of available plots.

Can I ask you to clarify what point you were trying to make with this statement? Each person is a paying customer with a separate account. I don't recall anywhere where SE says that if you are married IRL, GF/BF irl, or married in-game that means that only one of you should own a house and have to share with the other.

So yes, more player accounts buying houses creates more shortage, but what does that have to do with married couples?

But I think your response is a perfect reflection of the way people get unnecessarily vicious over, as you noted, a game.

I wasn't being vicious (the connotation alone on this word makes this accusation ridiculous). Not sure where you got that from? My post was completely civil so if you can't handle a response that disagrees with you without feeling personally attacked then I'm not sure what to do about that?

I was making a point about not treating couples as a single unit and the fact that they have just as much right to own separate houses if they want to.

Do you guys even read these posts? Or do you just jump the minute someone's response does not share your view or sympathize with you in general?

This seems like some projecting.

Because I am having a trying time identifying any mention, intent, or desire on my part for sanctions, punishments, actions or restrictions on players for being married or otherwise in my unedited posts. If you could be so kind as to identify it for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

The quote about punishing people for being in a relationship was a general statement... as in not necessarily directed towards you. I didn't think I needed to clarify as such since like you said you never said anything about punishments. Sorry for the confusion I just didn't think it necessary to over explain.

I'm okay with couples wanting separate houses. Different people have different tastes whether they're single or not. I just don't like how OP claims her husband is under great misfortune despite being among the lucky minority with access to housing.

Well my post isn't really about OP. It is simply about the idea that people sometimes treat two people in a relationship as a single unit instead of two separate individuals. I agree with you at least he can share her house, but he is within his rights as a paying customer on a individual account to want his own separate one as well. That's all.
