I think one of the main reasons for their success in married life is the capability to have this sense of humor and not take unnecessary things too seriously!
To me, a comment on the spouse by a road-side girl / guy as "நல்ல ரசம் உண்டு" or "தல்லிப்பொளி" is only to be laughed at. It's definitely nothing to lose sleep over.
OTOH, if the spouse is sleeping with another, that's a divorce material and not laughing business.
I hope it cannot be differentiated any more clearer. I'm done with this topic!
