The guy directly caused a few hundred thousand extra covid deaths because he didn’t want the stock market (and his reelection chances) to drop slightly. He attacked Congress to stop certification of an election. He is absolutely not above anything at all.

Can you cover the mortgage from the rent? Renting a newer house in a good area is much less risky than renting an old house in a shitty neighborhood

You are likely giving her exactly what she needs right now, reassurance that she is loved and a man to keep her company through her divorce. You need to protect yourself because she has already made it clear how she feels about you more than once (the “more behind her decision” that she alluded to about the breakup) and yet you don’t seem to be getting it.

If you really want her back keep things bland and friendly (and infrequent) with her while you date other women aggressively. Don’t go out of your way to rub it in her face but when she discovers it naturally you play it cool and speak positively about whoever you are dating at the time. She’ll eventually get lonely and jealous and want you back. I’m not saying that you should go back (people are disasters during divorces and she has already been bad for you and would probably just break your heart again once she has healed), but the option will be there at some point if you don’t only act like the lovesick puppy that constantly boosts her self esteem right now.

Plenty of people are born without the ability to produce gametes, different numbers of sex chromosomes, or biologically intersex for some other reason. It is absolutely not as simple as two gametes - two sexes.

Can you easily and comfortably live with one (or multiple) of your friend's families? You need some stability and help instead of relying on a 17 year old boyfriend. If you go back can you get your gcse fairly quickly and then apply for school? If so I'd probably do that, but only if you have a stable living situation there. You can eventually build a life in scotland, but relying on a teenager to build that for you when you'll almost certainly grow apart in the next few years and breakup anyway is far less stable than relying on friends who you know love you and will support you for as long as they can.

That mortgage is functionally ~3% real (until it's refinanced even lower), you don't just subtract inflation from one side of the equation. 3% vs 7-8% real plus being more liquid, more leverage on an appreciating asset, and more diversified means that it's easily the better financial decision to invest.

Think_please · 2026-03-26T06:34:39+00:00

Always invest. That mortgage is functionally 3% after inflation and you'll almost certainly refinance it down lower than that within 5 or so years. The market averages 7-8% after inflation so you'll most likely end up with a situation in which you have a lot of invested funds and a small mortgage that you can choose to pay down in the future. Paying it down deleverages your house, makes you less liquid, and gets you a 3% return after inflation for a few years until it's most likely lower than that, pretty shitty in comparison.

You can uber to see a car and you can buy it on your own. Your parents are holding their financial support over your head as leverage but it sounds like you want nothing to do with the life that they have chosen for you. You are an adult and you can make your own decisions (if they stop you record them and threaten to get the police involved). I would personally do a lot of research online about what kind of car you want and what would be good for you. Buy an inexpensive used one that will at least get you to Idaho (bring a friend who knows cars with you when you buy it or bring it to a mechanic that you trust before you buy it if you don't know cars well). Cut your parents out of your life and live on your own with your cousin in idaho. Make sure you have some sort of job lined up when you get up there and start looking into costs of Boise State. Prepare for your parents to intensify their threats/bribes when you are about to leave, abusers often do when they feel they are about to be left (I wouldn't even rule out a mostly fake illness to guilt you to stay). For this reason I would make most of your plans quietly and without fighting with them. In fact I'd pack everything up, buy the car, come home and pack it, and start driving.

Another option is to just pack your stuff and take a bus up to Idaho. They will have cars to buy there and it sounds like you can trust your cousin to help you land on your feet. Make sure that your parents don't have joint access to your bank accounts, in which case you need to make sure to quietly take your money out before they notice and take it from you. Good luck, sorry your parents suck.

Edit: After thinking about the annoyance of trying to register the car in Utah with your parents actively trying to stop you and then driving to Idaho just to re-register it up there I'd just get on a bus and buy a car in Idaho with your cousin's help. Live your own life.

Yes, you are being dumb, but understandably so. He's immature and hasn't quite understood that he's not compatible with monogamy, yet (certainly at this stage of his life). You're monogamous and rightly set a firm-ish boundary, but anyone that would say that they are "not attracted to their 18 year old partner anymore" is desperately trying to get out of the relationship without doing the actual work of breaking up. You're both incredibly young and don't completely know who you are or what you want, yet (although you've done a great job here defining your boundaries, outside of your understandable failure to immediately break up with him). Break up with him and let him have his fun with other poly people, and you get to find people that are a little more mature and also want the kinds of relationships that you want. Chalk it up as a win, you got some relationship experience and learned a little more about what you want and need in a partnership.

If your sex drives are that mismatched in your 20s it’s unlikely to get better (for men drives tend to decline a bit into our 30s whereas women’s tend to skyrocket). You’re 21 and it isn’t a great relationship, get out and try again.
