A metaphorical place one person escapes to while calling it “We Island” — claiming everything they do is for both of you, while consistently making solo decisions without communication, collaboration, or consent.
Often characterized by:
- Major life changes you weren’t part of — like moving, switching jobs, enrolling the kids in something big, or suddenly “going in a new direction” you didn’t know was on the map
- Calendar changes delivered after the fact (if at all) — like finding out you’re going on a family vacation you didn’t know was planned, to a place you wouldn’t have picked, during a week you didn’t know you were available
- Emotional or financial risks taken “for us” that you didn’t even know were on the table — or that you can't understand why they were ever on the table
- A “joint decision” you somehow find yourself in the middle of — wondering not just when it was made, but who even thought it was a good idea
Not to be confused with:
We Island — an actual shared space where decisions are made together, with mutual respect, transparency, and a shared compass.

“I already made the decision, planned the details, and set everything in motion — now all you have to do is smile, get on board, and join me on Whee Island.”

This consists of telling someone you're going to spunk on their face while they are asleep, only half-jokingly, and then when they don't believe you, doing it just to prove that you're that demented.
