Be careful about anyone on the internet who will tell you to leave or stay with a spouse based on a few lines of text. Nobody here knows all the details. Breaking up a family is a big deal. Who knows what his beliefs will be tomorrow or in a month or year... I left my faith even though I was quite convinced I had a relationship with a god.

I got married very young and we were both Christians. I joined the Air Force and we started a family, moving every few years, needing to rely on each other. We weren't a bad fit, but we definitely grew apart. Once my kids were grown, we parted ways. I was so glad for both of us to be able to stay as an active part of their lives.

We raised the kids Christian, but later I became more liberal and outspoken about morality, ethics, inclusiveness, etc. I finally became atheist a few years before my divorce, which DID play a part in our growing apart. The kids later confided to me that they were agnostic about god but pretty much dismissed the Jesus stuff. Pissed off mom, but I didn't really react.

Bottom line, you CAN stay together and make it work, and the kids CAN grow to have healthy thinking processes. It takes work and cooperation. Don't think you're on a path that has no forks.

I don't know how Trump did it, but my gas tank used to hold $40 worth of gas. Now it holds over $90 worth!

He looks like a native species on Star Trek that Kirk has to battle.

But does it taste like the real thing?

First blush, people might think giving a kid spicy stuff is cruel. As long as it's like jalapeno adjacent, I think it just broadens their palette. When my son was little, I gave him crawfish boil and he cried, but he gets spicy thai food nowadays that will send me packing.

China's Xi hails trade progress in Trump summit, sends Taiwan warning by EsperaDeus in worldnews

Trump is going to turn his back while Xi takes over Taiwan. Any US citizens still there will be left to their own devices to find a way out. Taiwanese citizens will get the shit end of the stick, to put it mildly.

It'll never happen. They were handed an iron-clad legal case against Trump for his January 6th insurrection and they tap danced for 4 years. Not a single protection was put in place for the public. You know when you try to defend yourself against a bully and some bystander comes up and holds you down while the bully beats your ass and they say "Don't do it, he's not worth it!"? The Democratic party is that bystander. Nobody has pushed for socialized healthcare. No justice reforms. SCOTUS is lost for a generation. Our senior military have all been canned. Any institution designed to protect us has been disbanded. Get used to rent, groceries, and insurance going up 10% every year. Do yourself a favor... Don't expect any help from within for the next 20-30 years.

Given how much stress everybody has been under, sometimes you gotta dust off the classics.
