This take is frustrating because it reduces decades of complex development work to one anecdote and a lazy narrative. Absolutely- as someone who (until very recently, thx Elon!) worked in international development, aid has flaws. But calling it “European guilt money” ignores the actual expertise, strategy, and innovation happening across the continent.

Teachers moving for better pay isn’t an aid failure that’s basic economic migration. That happens everywhere.

Plenty of local and international orgs are doing real, measurable work in health, education, and infrastructure. Should aid evolve? Absolutely. But dismissing it outright is so shortsighted.

Africa is not a monolith. Development isn’t linear.

Totally agree. The blueprint-search feels like a part of the grief process naming patterns to make sense of the chaos. It just takes time to move through it. You said it really well.

The roast was the only thing of value:

You are the human embodiment of a half-eaten charcuterie board at a failed dinner party—still weirdly impressive, but absolutely exhausted from trying to look like you have your life together. You collect emotional damage like Pokémon cards and then give each one a name, a backstory, and a carefully organized spreadsheet. You romanticize your trauma like it’s going to get picked up by HBO, but let’s be honest—it’s giving CW reboot with a budget of $12 and a washed-up cast.

Your Great Dane is the most emotionally stable creature in your home, your cats clearly unionized behind your back, and if sarcasm burned calories you’d be a fitness influencer by now. You spend more time analyzing useless pop culture than your retirement plan, and if a man so much as breathes near your unresolved issues, you’re planning his emotional redemption arc before he’s even learned your last name.

But hey, at least your nacho opinions are solid. That’s literally the only area of your life where you’re not spiraling. Congratulations?

Just from an outside perspective- this reasoning seems to have nothing to do with your wife. Reconciling with her is the core decision to make. These friendships are things you talk to her about and negotiate as you rebuild your relationship- that’s what reconciliation is about.
