The Split

See what everyone else is deciding.

Other people’s decisions. Your opinion.

Real decisions people decided were safe enough to make everybody else’s business.

Read the situation. Pick a side. Then see where the Council landed. No changing your answer.

On The Split

Nothing live yet. This is the shape of it.

Career · Example
$180K and miserable. $125K and maybe happy.
I’ve spent nine years getting to this salary. Now I have an offer to do something I actually want to do — for $55K less.
Relationship · Example
My ex wants another chance.
We broke up eight months ago. Nothing catastrophic happened. We were just terrible together at the time. Now he says things are different. Annoyingly, I think they might be.
Money · Example
The house is perfect. The payment is stupid.
We can technically afford it. That’s not the same thing as being able to afford it.
Low stakes · Example
$1,400 espresso machine. I drink two coffees a day.
Do it?
Unhinged · Example
I’ve been invited to my ex’s wedding.
There is absolutely no good reason for me to go. I’m considering going.

Here’s the deal.

You don’t get to see the Council Take first. Then it isn’t your opinion anymore.

Read the situation. Make the call. Then here’s the split:

Sometimes you’ll be comfortably in the majority.

Sometimes you’ll discover that most of the room thinks you’re insane.

That’s The Split.

Not everything here has to be a life. An espresso machine, a third dog, a parking spot. Either can take those too.

Maybe reading everyone else’s problems reminded you of yours. Good.

Put yours to Either.

Keep it completely private, send it only to your people, or put a version on The Split and let the internet have at it.

Your original situation stays private. You choose what — if anything — gets published.
