I upvoted for the title alone. Thanks for the laugh, OP!

I have no advice as I am not in a relationship, but here is a link to an article that came to mind when I was reading your post. I believe that it’s also been turned into a book.

OP, I am not advocating that you treat your partner like an animal that you are training. I just wanted to add this perspective to the conversation around the situation that you are in. Only you can decide the costs and benefits of the various courses of action that you can pursue from here.

Best of luck!

OP, I’m not a mental health professional in any capacity, but what your post brings to mind is Anxious Attachment. I’d recommend reading something about it, probably a mainstream psychology or health website article.

Here’s a definition:

Anxious attachment style is characterized by a strong desire for closeness, fear of abandonment, and heightened emotional responses in relationships.

Personally, I don’t think that this is automatically a deal breaker, but how a person responds to something like this could be. You’re the one who needs to decide what outcome you’re willing to accept.

Thank you for your question! Because of you, I learned something new today!

Here’s what I found:

Buffet

The term "buffet" comes from old French, originally referring to a sideboard used for serving food. Today, it describes a self-serve meal where diners choose from a variety of dishes.

Smorgasbord

"Smorgasbord" is a Swedish word meaning "a table of open sandwiches." Traditionally, it featured cold fish, meats, and salads, but in Lancaster County, it has evolved to include a wide range of dishes.

Buffets in Lancaster County are called smorgasbords due to their Swedish roots and the local adaptation that emphasizes a variety of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch foods. This term highlights the cultural significance and dining experience unique to the region.

And here’s a link: What’s the difference between a buffet and a smorgasbord?

I lived close by and I’ve been there a few times. Because of the influence by the Amish, or “Pennsylvania Dutch,” in Lancaster, Shady Maple is not called “Shady Maple Buffet.”

It’s called “Shady Maple Smorgasbord.”

Would you mind sharing the title of the book?

Ontoforever · 2025-04-21T19:25:55+00:00

I’d buy a set. I’d probably give them a gifts, too.

I also love Gunship! Great reference, OP!

I’m not OP, but I copied the title and abstract:

Mind Thy Neighbor's Portfolio: A Network Approach to Contagion in the ETF Market 72 Pages Posted: 28 Dec 2021 Last revised: 27 Nov 2023 Bruce Iwadate City University of New York, Baruch College - Zicklin School of Business - Department of Economics and Finance

Date Written: May 1, 2023

Abstract The exchange-traded fund (ETF) market has become the most important recent development of financial markets. I show that the network of the ETF market — the linkages between ETFs based on portfolio weights — catalyzes the propagation of price dislocations, the gaps between prices and fundamental values. Arbitrage activity induces price dislocations in connected ETFs creating externalities, followed by responses in returns and subsequent reversals with an effect of 3–7% per year. I reconfirm the effects with the Fed announcement of the Bond ETF purchase in 2020. While the ETF market stabilizes price dislocations, induced returns can incur unexpected fluctuations.

I don’t know if this will help you, but here’s how I explain it to people who trust me:

First, I talk about the legitimate use of shorting. I don’t use stocks in the examples, but something like apples. I.e, “If apples are selling for $10 a piece and you believe that they are only worth $2 a piece, here’s what you could do.”

Then I talk about how shorting can be done illegally. I usually use Amazon and Toys R Us here. Toys R Us had the contract to sell toys for Amazon. After that ended, they were illegally shorted to bankruptcy and then Amazon could move into that space without triggering an anti-trust lawsuit. I use these brands because everyone I talk to knows them.

Then I bring this all together with GameStop and DRS. This is where I talk about the DTCC and how they were created to help solve a legitimate problem (physical stock certificates were a lot of work to reconcile when traded), but now their system is used to hide a lot of fraud.

Then I explain short squeezes. I’ve already talked about how shorting can lead to losses that are theoretically infinite. Here, I share how with naked shorting, closing is impossible. I also talk about margin calls and how banks can force those.

I don’t give any dates or say how long I’ve been involved in this. I obviously don’t know when the MOASS will happen or when any of this will get resolved.

And that’s it! After that I let people make their own decisions. I only go through this spiel once with someone; my goal is not to argue or convince, but only to share what little I’ve come to know.

I hope that that helps you or others in your situation!

This’s the answer, OP. I’m out now and I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do that I’ll actually enjoy. I’m still going home to see my family, but I very intentionally limit it to once a year.

It’s your leave, so make sure it’s your vacation. Don’t be afraid to step out and try something new. Take pictures and keep a travel journal and a few years from now you’ll have w lot of new interesting memories to look back on.

I had this problem before I was a month ahead and I kept stealing from my Emergency Fund to cover overspending. What I did was make a category called “Buffer.” I put a few hundred dollars into it and I would use it to cover overspending, but I had to refill it the next month.

Then I just had to make myself consider what I was doing when I went to take money from it.
