And the article doesn't really match either of those reasons!

  Sure it does. She had a problem (not being able to share her husband's interests), and instead of the obvious solution (pull him away from his interests) she found a novel and better one (join him in his interests). It's a perfect hack.

    so she "hacked" their relationship, not his addiction
    • cema 13y ago
      Yes.

      She didn't hack their relationship at all, that's my point. She learnt about hacking and that's the closest the article got to the title.

        yeah, I agree with you- I wouldn't use the term 'hack' at all. Just that if we had to use the term, the least bastardized way of doing it would be to say that it was the relationship being modified, not his addiction. She literally did nothing about his addiction. I suppose you could say she "hacked" (again, disgusting choice of words) her PERCEPTION of his addiction... either way, it's a poor choice of words

      His addiction was a problem. Now it's less of a problem. She just approached the problem from her end instead of his.
