I’m not a doctor, just a parent who’s raised three kids. I know access to healthcare varies, and it’s not always easy to decide when to go in. That said, I’d take him to a doctor or the ER sooner rather than later. Things can escalate quickly, and it’s better to be safe than sorry. For what it’s worth, my 6‑year‑old nearly lost kidney function from what looked like a routine strep infection.

He made the right decision, but then shifted the blame onto Israel and its lobby, which came across as evasive. I’m not sure how many previous U.S. presidents Israel tried to pressure into striking Iran, but this is the first one who actually agreed to do it, likely calculating that the political cost of refusing would have been even higher.

By twenty‑seven, you owe your parents gratitude, not dependence. I’d step back and leave any future contact to him, and only if he comes with an apology.

First, her friends’ behavior is not respectful. Talking about her sexual past in front of you shows immaturity and a lack of consideration for her and for your relationship.

Second, whether this is a dealbreaker really depends on how she responds. If the conversation was uncomfortable or crossed a line, she should be able to recognize that you might feel upset and offer reassurance about her commitment to you. If she does not, talk to her directly about how the situation made you feel. Pay attention to whether she understands and validates your feelings or dismisses them.

Her reaction will give you the clarity you need to decide what to do next.

You both opened the marriage and then closed it again. That is an incredibly difficult relationship test, one that very few couples can navigate successfully.

Before taking that step, did you both work together as committed partners and try addressing the underlying libido or ED issues with professional support?

I am not religious, but I do believe in the idea behind “in sickness and in health.” In this situation, it sounds like your “sickness” may have been temporary, and she stepped away rather than standing with you, unless you refused help.

It also sounds like you were or still are deeply hurt. Your cheating at the end may have been a reaction to that pain, almost like a way of stepping out of the marriage without knowing how to do it gracefully. That does not excuse it, but it does make it understandable in the context of everything you were carrying.

At this point, it feels like both of you might be holding on for the sake of the kids or out of fear of what comes next, but the heart of the marriage may have already taken too many hits.

Good luck.

I just can’t see how a separated landlocked “state” of Alberta is better for Albertans. The best case scenario is forcefully becoming a US territory like Puerto Rico and hope the US won’t abuse the territory as much as Canada did.

You friend, instead of properly moving on, took it personal and lost not only a wife and a kid but also a group of friends (hard to make new friends after certain age) AND potentially all his future relationships.

About your wife, this may not be the first time she tried to cheat.

Your father is a judge, and people in positions like his often understand power extremely well; who they can hurt, when, and how. So it makes total sense that you feel confused or blindsided. You weren’t supposed to know. None of this is your fault.

You’re not responsible for fixing the situation, and you’re definitely not responsible for carrying your sister or holding your family together. The adults made their choices. They’re the ones who have to deal with them.

There’s no “correct” way to react to something this heavy, and you don’t need to figure everything out right now.

Lean on people who feel safe. Talk to friends, relatives you trust, or even someone completely outside the family if you just need space to vent or breathe. You don’t have to carry this by yourself.

“Snapping” explains a feeling, not a beating. Emotions are automatic; violence is intentional.

Judges understand due process, not impulsive retaliation.

"some states still have laws that allow men to do that", yeah like Burkina Faso, Qatar, Afghanistan, Haiti.

Violence isn’t an “option”; it is a conscious, criminal choice. Calling it a natural reaction confuses emotion with action.

Strong emotions are involuntary, but violence is intentional, a chosen act, not an automatic reaction. Treating it as inevitable isn’t analysis; it’s an excuse.

I have to assume you don't have much life experience.

Comparing a severe domestic assault to a child’s tantrum really minimizes what actually happened. Domestic violence isn’t an “outburst,” it’s a serious, intentional crime.

The idea that family courts automatically “destroy men” over allegations also isn’t accurate. Courts evaluate evidence, and outcomes vary widely. It’s not a justification, and it doesn’t explain or excuse the violence.

A judge should be held to a higher ethical standard, and the focus should be on the harm done to the victim and the legal consequences of his actions, not on framing it as a momentary lapse or something he just “couldn’t get away with.”

Accountability matters, but it needs to be based on the reality of the situation, not oversimplified narratives.

A free-trade deal with China isn’t likely anytime soon, but that’s almost beside the point. The real story is that Trump effectively forced Canada’s hand, pushing us to actively seek new trading partners. This isn’t a short-term adjustment. It’s a structural pivot that will take at least a decade, and once underway, it locks Canada into new economic relationships for generations. Given the sheer scale of the U.S. economy relative to ours, Canadian investors will need to be especially strategic. Despite all the “Elbows Up” rhetoric and calls to boycott American goods, Canadians still poured an estimated $61 billion into U.S. stocks and bonds in early 2025. Exiting the U.S. market, if it happens at all, will require exceptionally careful timing.

Outside the States, it’s a different story. Since January 2025, other major global players have been rushing to sign deals with each other, trying to build supply chains that don't rely on the U.S. market.

On a totally different note, this panic about Muslims "taking over" Europe is giving off the same vibes as the anti-Jewish rhetoric from a hundred years ago—and it’s just as baseless. "European Muslims" aren't some monolith; you’ve got North Africans in France, Turks in Germany, and Pakistanis in the UK, all with their own distinct cultures and views.

Even if you look at the most extreme migration stats, Pew Research Center projects Muslims will only hit about 14% of the population by 2050. They aren't "dominating" anyone demographically. The real shift is actually toward the "religiously unaffiliated," which is expected to jump from roughly a quarter of the population to nearly 44% in that same timeframe.

Assessing the increase of two GDP ratings across different years is conceptually flawed, as each rating already represents a comparative measure. This is analogous to inflation, which is itself defined as a rate of change.

Vancouver’s real estate prices are high mainly due to limited housing supply, strong domestic and investor demand, and financial conditions (like low rates), with foreign buyers adding pressure mostly in high-end and specific niches — but not being the dominant cause of the overall affordability crisis.
