Oh c’mon wolfishmusing, don’t use that fig leaf. Don’t put words in my mouth. We love following halacha, plain and simple. We’re not looking for “heterim” and cop-outs. And “working things out through discussion and compromise” IS EXACTLY what we do. Yet the questions you asked required no compromise or even discussion as we are on the exact same page. But when things come up, discussion and compromise are exactly how we work things out. There is no “pulling ranks”, so please don’t try to put down our Torah and halachic loving family with such put-downs.
Edit to answer your second post:
I don’t even understand the question. We both love doing what halacha wants. I can’t imagine either one of us “not wanting to do those things” or anythings halacha specifies.
