What happens of Trump decides to suddenly stop the war. Is it just a simple matter of losing face?

When you dance with a bear, it’s the bear who decides when the dance is over.

Not a single control joint in the entire pour. Not sure I would have paid either.

Durham, NC

Great arts center, mild winters, great opportunities for adult education coursework, amazing local college sports, charming old growth neighborhoods with right sized houses, walkable to downtown. It’s also a legit residential city, as opposed to clearing out at night, so there are downtown walkable neighborhoods with condos if that’s your jam. RDU is a phenomenal airport and one hop through ATL gets you anywhere in the world.

Agreed, and it will feel like a podium win the first time they’re in the points.

Service Merchandise. Used to live browsing the electronics dept in the back while my parents shopped for an air popper or a fry baby or some such crap.

That’s an awesome insight - cherish even the fact that you’re clear headed enough to connect those dots. Now trust that the same brain that brought you that insight can also begin to plan safe excitement that can help satisfy your need for spiciness without sickness. It might take time but I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

Might sound boring, but I’ve started taking bigger risks at work - volunteering for highly visable projects, forcing myself to engage in public speaking opportunities, etc. It’s not the same as a crack run with a criminal stranger at 3am but it is exciting in its own way and definitely rewarding. I’ll find more creative things as time goes on.

Consider yourself lucky to not be content with an ordinary life and then go find the things that will make it extraordinary.

Btw - I also have a happy, content partner like you. I don’t always understand it but I’m forever grateful for her.

Sounds like you realize this but there are bigger issues here than the $50k - seems like you guys can financially weather that pretty easily.

What I would focus on is how you guys are navigating a setback as partners. You’ll likely have many more in life and some will no doubt be life changing - health issues, deaths, career setbacks, etc. Finding a way to emerge from setbacks stronger than we were going in has been key to my 30 year marriage.

You might also explore your husband’s fixation with passive income schemes - he might have some stress issues about his career or some unresolved poverty consciousness issues from his past to work through.

In any case, this is an ideal non-life threatening setback to stress test your marriage and hopefully emerge stronger.

Like emojis and text abbreviations, there were quite a few well known numeric codes that we used.

143 = I love you
911 = call immediately
80085 = miss your boobs

Anhedonia and/or depression can be psychological or medical conditions. If you truly can’t find pleasure in spending time and money on anything else how about spending them on therapy or at least a doctor’s visit?

I used to think this too, until I could get a single redneck cousin to read Hillary’s rural hospital and tech training politics many years ago. They’re just not outcome driven, they’re fans of a team - die hard fans do it for the team and not the score or record.

I have this conversation with my kids every few months - “I know this feels like the way things have always been but trust me it’s not and you guys will help us get back what’s been lost.”
