I was thinking of posting that I was in a relationship where my partner regularly got cross with me for not figuring out what she wanted or needed "You could tell I would...." No, no I could not. (I think I'm mildly neurodivergent with aspects of ADHD and asperger's.) The thing is that I was always in trouble for not anticipating my partners wants and needs, but I found it upsetting to be berated for not reading minds. Getting cross with me for being out doing perfectly normal things but later than expected for better, but I wanted to warn you that I found that affection was increasingly frequently withheld for my crimes and we completely lost our love life. It was We ended up friends, but not lovers.

Things that stood out to me include telling you that you had to do the washing up and then being cross that you did it. That was set up exactly so that there was absolutely no way that you could avoid being shouted at.

I worry that you both believe that everything is your fault and nothing is your partner's fault, and I'm particularly concerned that there is anger and shouting in your home that you had absolutely no way of stopping happening and that your partner is blaming you for that happening.

There's a book/pdf called "Why does he do that?" that I've come across online that's written to help women who are in abusive and controlling relationships (with men) come to an understanding that that's what's happening to them, and that they can't win because not being able to predict what will upset their partner to the point of emotional or physical abuse is by design. I don't think this is the situation you're in, but it has echoes of it. I don't think that being emotionally manipulative or abusive is exclusive to men, but I think the book is worth reading anyway.

Something needs to change and I'm not at all convinced it's even remotely close to being all your fault that's there's shouting and withheld affection in your relationship.

How did your wife learn to not do these things??

I have the feeling that you would be inclined to deny the distinction between the Biden presidency and the trump presidency that followed it.

Trump is gonna be so butthurt that after he told Canadians to elect PeePee who was gonna make Canada the 51st state, Canadians took away his seat. Nope nope nope.

Well, it's not a toe.

Oh, I thought you were going to stick them on tesla wankpanzers.

Excellent. Good to know that some young people have intelligence and principles.

If he holds another election it'll be like a Russian election. You know, where it doesn't really matter who you vote for, Putin wins anyway.

Trump will use any tariff profits to bail out farmers and other industries impacted

I remember when UK right wing lying populist Boris Johnson (who only really cares about himself) promised to bail out farmers and other industries adversely affected by his insane isolationist Brexit policy.

Here's US right wing lying populist Donald Trump (who only really cares about himself) and you think he's gonna bail out farmers and other industries adversely affected by his insane isolationist global trade war policy?

Why would he do that?

What have farmers got to offer Trump?

Thanks for publicly invalidating my experience and my advice. Really made my day.
