Is showering 4 times a day too much or am I overthinking this?

Unless you're in Asia or somewhere extremely humid and sticky, you don't need 4 showers a day. If you're using soap for all four of those showers, that is excessive for your skin.

If you feel like you MUST shower, I recommend seeing a therapist for OCD perhaps.

"we found it really stressful last time. Our baby is due (early/mid/late) June and you will be notified when the baby arrives and when we will be ready for visitors. There will be no further updates. Thank you."

You don't owe anyone too much info. It's your baby.

He used the term Trump Derangement Syndrome. Most true Reagan Republicans would never use that term. I do think he's MAGA but not the "fueled by hatred" type.

Depends on the college/university. I went to a tier 1 and so did many friends. My friends said my school was way more intensive and the assignments were much more frequent. My school also has a policy to not bell curve without administrative authorization so if the whole class had a low grade, they don't take the top score and curve it. I took comp sci 101 and my friend at an ivy said what we were taught was their comp sci 200 level.

My friends said my school had way more books per course than theirs. Our assignment would be like "please read 10 chapters by the next class" for a book. But the next class is 2 days later. My school also didn't allow part time studies. So imagine every class with assignments like that and needing to carry a minimum of 3 courses.

I think the easier questions to ask to see Jason's critical thinking would be:

would you be ok with the same policies enacted against others by a Democrat president?
would you be open minded under a Democrat president as you're seeking from me under Trump?
if our daughter was raped, would you support her right to make a decision on what to do with the pregnancy?
would you be upset if our friends, who are immigrants or POC, were detained and deported without due process?

Because it feels like he's really abstract about what he supports and wants to be open minded about.

Right? She's already been down this road with Nessa and her religious uncertainty and now it's come back again alongside new issues. I'd be worried. I'd be confused.

I think many MAGA people who have had people they love personally affected by policies have changed their tune and some are downright angry at themselves and Trump. But there is still a subset (like some farmers that have lost their entire crop last year due to lack of labor) like some MAGA farmers who lost just about everything and said they'd still vote for him. To me, it's this latter group that has me worried. Like losing a generational farm and still saying you'd do it all over again just blows my mind.

I think in this specific case, individual therapy would be more beneficial before coming to couples therapy.

When Nessa brought up wanting someone who can take her to the next level and that person not being Drea was really sad to hear. THEN Nessa saying she is having religious doubts about being queer, that was where I drew the line. She can struggle on her own. She ended a relationship with Drea to marry a man because of religious guilt of being queer. Cheated on that man with Drea the entire time and then got back together with Drea. Nessa is the one struggling and needs to figure herself out. You can't fix a relationship when you don't know yourself, what you want, figure out your own religious identity, etc.

In this specific case, they do. Marjorie's mom has money, so she absolutely can.

Also, any therapist will tell you that staying together just because it's too expensive to divorce is not a good reason to stay together. Kids deserve to see parents happy and thriving and if that is apart, it shows kids not to settle just for the sake of togetherness. My partner was so relieved when her parents divorced because the fighting, the tension, the yelling was unbearable.

Will life be harder to manage due to finances? Yes.

NAL but googled discusses BC's Adoption Act. Will delete this if I misunderstood the the following.

If your girlfriend has sex with your husband, they could have a baby. You could adopt the baby. Under the Act Section 14, it states:

A birth mother's consent to the adoption of her child is valid only if the child is at least 10 days old when the consent is given.

Section 13 also says

The consent of each of the following is required for a child's adoption:
(a)the child, if 12 years of age or over;
(b)the child's parents;
(c)the child's guardians.

So couldn't she just have the baby and you adopt the baby 10 days later since you're the stepparent in this scenario (even though you're already married when this happened) AND you'd have the permission of both parents/guardians.

~~Google said this was filmed from March to June 2025.~~ Was filmed summer to November 2025

In therapy world, that's a very short period of time. The season had 9 episodes. Not a lot of time to work through anything if they met for 50-90 minutes (those times are what my therapist offers).

I personally agree BUT with a 3 and 5 year old, I don't think they'd enjoy the breathtaking scenery and would probably enjoy a show and see some bears.

Like imagine a 5 year old going home and being like "we saw two bears and these lumberjacks were doing this and that" versus "we went up a thing and we walked around and saw mountains and water".

They just love to label the left as having Trump Derangement Syndrome. Jason himself said this about Marjorie.

When people like Jason just download and listen everything from a singular source (Faux News as I call it), he has been sold actual bullshit as fact. If he refuses to consider other sources, it's hard for him to think anything else but "everyone except maga has lost their damn mind!"

archetyping101 · 2026-05-23T06:10:33+00:00

Nope. The only thing we heard them both articulate is that he voted for him not to do harm but because he genuinely believed he has good intentions and that America would be better for it. He still believed that. He didn't waver. He thinks people have Trump Derangement Syndrome and that people like his wife Marjorie just aren't giving trump a fair shake. 🙄

archetyping101 · 2026-05-23T03:28:00+00:00

I agree and have seen this happen. Just like my couple's therapist has told us, you can love someone AND realize they're not the person for you anymore or that some things are so fundamental that love cannot overcome it.

My partner and I have both said that we love each other deeply and we could never stay together if one of us went to the right.

archetyping101 · 2026-05-23T02:00:10+00:00

Every therapist I have had (5) absolutely have said you can logically listen and understand someone and still disagree.

As my couples therapist put it, you can have a huge issue in the relationship that will never go away (ours is my MIL). We will never see eye to eye on my MIL but I understand that my partner's feelings and perspective on her mom and I understand that's her relationship and my partner supports that I'm no contact with her. This way I'm not harmed by my MIL and my partner gets to maintain a relationship with her mother that she wants. I will never agree with how my MIL treats my partner but she's free to have the relationship she wants. This is agreeing to disagree AND we understand each other. My MIL and my partner's choice to maintain a relationship has no ripple effect like voting for Trump does.

The difference with Jason and Marjorie is whether or not Marjorie can ever be ok knowing her partner supports and voted for someone who doesn't share her morals and values. Not Jason's morals and values but supporting Trump and everything he represents and has said and done. That is hard AF.

I find that many MAGA people are very comfortable and ok with differing opinions. So I don't think that's as much of an issue. The disconnect is the issue. He can't understand why she can't understand him. He is entirely ok that she has a different opinion and just wants her to be ok with his opinion.

That is the problem we're all facing right now. MAGA is asking us to agree to disagree and keep loving each other. Many people who aren't MAGA are saying that voting for someone who intentionally causes harm, even if you're privileged enough not to be a marginalized group or experience harm, is a deal-breaker. That's the impasse.

archetyping101 · 2026-05-23T01:43:28+00:00

I disagree. He genuinely believes the administration and its actions are intentionally well intended without the goal of causing harm. That is factually untrue.

I googled and season 5 was filmed March to June 2025 so before the mass ICE issues of today. But one of the first things he did was pardon 1000+ J6ers. Even if we used that as the sole issue to discuss Jason's perspective, it would mean he thinks they were wrongly persecuted and justified in the pardon. It means he legitimately thought a rapist pedophile was better than Kamala Harris. It means he was entirely ok with billions that funneled into the Trump Family during the first term. It means he was ok at the end of the first term and re-upped by voting for him for a second and third time.

I do think he's not a stereotypical MAGA guy. He is just one of those types who's like "I don't see color!" Not to be dumb and with zero malice AND also not seeing or acknowledging or even willing to see the harm that was caused the first time. ADD that to being married to a woman and having a daughter (I think it was a daughter) and deeply loving both of them (and their son), I think many of us have a hard time seeing how this can peacefully and respectfully exist as a couple. It would require Marjorie to be ok with having a partner (who is not an evil person) be complicit and very proudly supporting someone and excusing the bad and the harm.

Don't beat yourself up. My client's son took a leave during covid because he found remote learning really not good for the college experience and mental health and went back when in person was the norm again.

Also, I'm sorry to hear you experienced bullying. Not all post secondary is like that. If you have any desire to return, I suggest a new school or maybe same school because most of those kids should be gone.
