I'm curious how this works out in the privacy of people's homes. A lot of couples wind up arguing about who really said what. I wonder how it works out for them when someone produces the recording that settles it for good.
While we would hope that it settles the argument, it doesn't address the emotions. And therefore I suspect that it would just make people's arguments worse.
- solardev 3y agoYeah, throwing a recording in their face seems like a surefire way to escalate that argument rather than resolving it. It's more about trust and mutual respect & compromise and forgiveness... if you start keeping score and playing gotchas, that only builds resentment.

- romwell 3y ago>I wonder how it works out for them when someone produces the recording that settles it for good. Portable microcassette records have been around for many decades (and hitting record on a phone to capture audio is something anyone can do without taking the phone out of the pocket). There's a reason you're wondering about how well this idea works.
- swah 3y agoAren't security cameras also able to record the same data (ok the voice is not as good), plus with video?
- andrewstuart 3y ago>> A lot of couples wind up arguing about who really said what. I try to get as much relationship decision making as possible done via SMS text or email. And the moment there is a discussion/argument that turn to “what you said/what I said”, I say I’m only willing to talk about tangible facts, not conversation recollections.
