Controversial Argument Stories That Split The Internet

From Redditor u/Sensitive-Aside-1224: Background: My husband and I are both argumentative people who have sort of "tough" personalities (I'm a lawyer and he's retired military). We argue frequently about facts or politics, but these are usually good-natured and humorous. But I try not to do this if we're socializing or at family events, since no one wants to watch another couple argue. Almost a year ago, we hosted two of my older relatives at our house for a few days.
