You're supposed to be able to trust that your spouse won't push you off a cliff. I hope people put more time and effort into choosing a spouse than a hiking partner.

I have an admission to make. I think stories like that are interesting. Maybe better than watching reality shows.

I have another admission to make. I like to watch some reality shows.

He drew an "x" on his map at the location where she fell.

Why not just write, "push wife off here"?
