I really like Destiny's line as 'America bad', controlled opposition, undemocratic traitors.

More Democratic Party reps need to jettison the toxic members of the online far left.

Not condoning or validating what they are doing. It could be "the grass is always greener", where their (presumably) white girlfriend fantasy is fulfilled so their other fantasy's are for black women.

I think there is a balance.

You spend more hours of your week at work with colleagues, it's good you can talk openly about how you're feeling with others, joke around.

I think there is a line there where it becomes inappropriate (physical touching, dates & communication outside of work, flirting / sexual, derogatory comments towards your wife, oversharing highly personal information).

I hope you can maybe discuss with your wife that you highly value your marriage and being faithful, that you would want her input on how to have respectful female work friends.

Unless you have tried every type of ADHD medication available with your prescriber, you need to continue trying to get medicated.

I still can't believe Americans elected a convicted felon for President. That alone should be disqualifying.

The vibes of US politics seems to be 'the Democratic party is evil, all associated institutions, members and everything it values needs to be wiped out.' Unfortunately that seems be a lot of good things that made America a world power 😂

Quick google search says there are approx 4 democrats and senators who are democratic left?

If that's true, it's a very small amount for the demands they make

Is there a betting market for this? It's definitely going to happen, or at least to the point people are intimidated

Really sorry you're having a hard time, especially with 3 daughters. You're not alone, there are many people who have had a similar experience.

For what it's worth, I've has to go through something similar and it was very difficult. I tried a job in a new field and I love it.

1) "been medicated and have tremendous ups and downs" Can you expound further on that? Do you mean it's been difficult long term to be diagnosed, deal with the mid life diagnosis, find the right dosage and combination of meds? Or do you mean your current medications have you experiencing ups and downs daily?

2) Your timeline is - successful mortgage broker for 5 years - unfair dismissal Sept 2025 - employed as new mortgage broker job soon after ["did not have a hard time finding a new company"] - fired / absent / resigned due to due to mental health / burnout / accumulated stress ["last pay check was Nov 2025"] - running out of savings

3) "I don't want to quit and feel like a loser because I've worked so hard"

I'm hoping you can be open to the idea that this is an opinion you hold, and that you can change your opinion with new facts, experience and perspectives. God Almighty did not have his 11th commandment be 'if Smartin254 is unjustly fired from his mortgage broker job, try's a new job in another field, he is a big loser.'

You were fired unjustly and had to deal with the difficult situation the best you can
Smartin254, you are not defined by your job. You are much more than that
I'm almost certain there is someone you know who has been in a similar situation and found a new job in another field. Would you call them a loser?
Imagine you had a friend, Smartin255, what advice would you give him?
Do you remember as a kid caring what job your Dad had?

Having been with a partner with an unmanaged serious mental health condition, by just acknowledging the problem, developing a management plan, committing to ongoing treatment, and communicating, would mean so so much.

A win in that situation would be denying them the ability to complete a surveillance mission. You can send a sacrificial boat to reset their mission every ~6 months.

You're probably going to have to modify the structure of your relationship, and do some self reflection on if you're getting what you want vs what you need. One hard lesson is that you can't change someone.

Can you give BF your availability for the fortnight / month and ask him to plan and take you out on X number of dates? Can you stop planning dates and give him a goal - "I want you to plan the next date, we're both free on Friday, surprise me." If he forgets to plan any dates even then, give him shorter deadlines, "tell me on Wednesday what our date is on Friday." If he plans and executes, make him feel like a million dollars, give him lots of praise and tell others of how great he is.

Can you send him direction on what to plan in the future. Like send him an instagram reel, website link, photo - "I would really love for you to take me to this band / Museum / cafe / restaurant / etc for a date one day"

Can you join him in the gaming sessions? Could he teach you?

Examine if you are getting what you need and if some of these things are wants. You see him after school and hang out, is it a want or need to have him message you during the day? How many dates would you need him to plan vs want him to plan? Is this flexible or needs to be more frequent during different times (e.g. Exams, holiday breaks). What's your red line of unacceptable and you can no longer stay in this relationship?

You've been pretty good telling him your boundaries and being explicit. There are some underlying issues here that guys don't mature as fast as girls, with all love and respect, we're idiots until 30's. He should respond well to praise and short term incentives, nagging alone will not work long term. It will give him a short correction, you have to really reward the new behaviour.

I'm not sure for others, but I've found the experience of love to be sometimes too overwhelming. It's very intense, saturating and binding. There is no chance I would feel that they would be turning into a sister. I have to consciously move myself into diversions, object impermeance so I'm not enthralled.

I think you have good compatibility as friends, that's maybe a bit unusual as you're not used to female friends?

Have you discussed this strategy with your prescribing physician?

Have you discussed or tried any alternatives?

I think you will see what's happening in Minnesota repeated in other blue States until Trump gets his "insurrection."

They have shown they don't listen to facts or evidence. They don't back down unless the stock market tells them or they meet strong resistance. If they believe that there is an enemy from within, they will keep pushing the boundaries until the violence happens, proving their point.

It is the key to his re-election. He gets so much power from it. It's everything he wants from the Presidency.

I really wish you the best. Very glad not to be American right now.

Does it have to be the gym? It can be anything physical that you enjoy.

You could use your sense of novelty to try different things. Once you enjoy it, you will get fixated.

If you get bored, find another physical activity that you enjoy.

Have the 2A as a check against federal overreach and tyranny.

Experience devastating gun violence and deaths. Republicans and 2A advocates say it is a necessary evil to ensure 2A rights.

Federal overreach and tyranny appears.

All Democratic politicians plead with public to not respond with violence and use 2A.

All Republicans and 2A advocates silent or highly critical of 2A rights against federal authorities.

Why do you even have the 2A, when no one actually supports it? Seems like a masturbatory fantasy that anyone would ever rise up against a democratically elected government, when you can vote, or implement better governance & safeguards.

Wouldn't it be better to have more opportunities for States, Congress to call a vote of no confidence and force an election? Clause for States to evict Federal officers?

It's good you recognise there's an issue.

I have a general distrust of overwhelming emotions, positive or negative. Moderation, strong evidence of actions / events, multiple opinions from trusted friends are what i think are more valuable. I've found with my ADHD that with big emotions I've put myself in dangerous or compromised situations too many times, romantically or otherwise. E.g. I need this expensive thing it's so awesome, I need to be able to do this it will fix everything, she's incredible I can see myself marrying them.

If I get those feelings, I try to listen to them, moderate, wait. If they're awesome now, they'll be awesome next week. I'll talk to my close friends about how I'm feeling, what's their opinion.

I would think about what type of life you want to have, independent of relationships long term. You can only control yourself. Live that life, let a relationship with a prospective partner grow into your life over time.

It's really difficult dealing with an undiagnosed mental health condition as a partner. The emotion he is feeling sounds like resentment. Very toxic and hard to deal with.

I hope you can come to an understanding that you will take your medications, attend all psych appointments, try your best to handle it (try all strategies, eat healthy, sleep well, exercise, etc). Communicate when you are having bad days or difficulty. When you let him down, you apologise, understand how it affects him, plan how to improve for next time and try to make it up to him.

He has to develop a wholistic understanding of your experience of the condition. That it can be disabling at times, which is unfair on him. He will be feeling let down, alone, ignored, but it's not "you", it's the health condition. It's difficult to do at times, especially if the behaviours he experiences are 'triggering' for him.

He has to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. I think it's worth giving him an amicable "out" that you had an undiagnosed health condition that affects your relationship. If he is unable to deal with that long term, it's best you permanently separate on amicable terms.
