One way to look at it is, are you optimizing for a local maximum of personal happiness, when you'd actually have a more happy and fulfilling lifetime by optimizing it for the both of you (a la Nash equilibrium)?
Another way to look at it, constraints breed creativity. You sometimes come up with better solutions when you don't have total freedom.
- rowanG077 5y agoDoes constraint really breed freedom? It seems obviously true but has there been any studies on this subject?
- darkerside 5y agoIt's honestly so trite to say that it's not worth studying. More accurately, constraints _can_ breed creativity. They can certainly also squash it. The only reason it's worth saying the former is that sometimes people forget because it is nonintuitive.
