    She’s a little ADHD bipolar and autistic but without any clear indication. So I get to go around the house fixing things like Phillips screws that look like X and not correctly installed like +. I had to replace all our switch and outlets with unbreakable ones so I could tighten the screws and then get them to be + oriented but without cracking the plates.

      I had a guy I worked w/ in construction that had the same thing about phillips had to + on the finish side of the build. So we cracked a lot of wall plates too.

      Except he would lose his shit if you didn’t, I found another gig soon after.

          Yeah I was thinking that, just didn’t want to bring up that aspect up. Its got to be trying, but at least you found love! So many others never do, so take some solace in that :)

            Every day.

            One of my engineering buddies got a bipolar partner too. I don’t know any details except that she burns thru his cash and got big big implants when she didn’t feel that she was beautiful enough. Life has pluses and minuses. One time (you could dox me with a single person about this) but I was driving down a particularly famous road coming back from work when I suddenly realized how boring my life was going to be until I ended 6 feet under. It was a Friday. On Monday I started looking for dates. Eventually I met my wife. But that Friday drive I wished for my life to be a little more exciting and I washed to be surrounded by beautiful Asian women to make my life more exotic… And I should have been way way more specific. Also I did ask for beautiful exotic and I had to face palm already so many times. That flying spaghetti monster has a weird sense of humour. At Christmas I was like one in three guys in the entire family until I had my boys and some of the girls started getting married.

            If I ever get to wish again I’m gonna chatGPT that prompt for a few weeks. Let’s start with I wish for a Billion dollars so I can share it with my loved ones who happen to be my family and friends, but it has to be real monetary type American dollars and not obtain thru the loss of my health, my extremities… Specially little Johnny…not thru any other such loss, just thru happy coincidences and luck and good good things that are not bloody or personally degrading. And if I live longer than my wife I will hope to be surrounded by beautiful Asian women who love men very much… Damn that’s gonna be my kids again! Okay, from the top…

              Wow thats a lot to deal with and take in.

              Take some comfort as a guy that has dated Asian Americans, Mainland Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans they are all a pain in the ass like the rest. Japanese especially. That whole subservient this is a myth in my experience, not that I was looking for that.

              The grass isn’t always greener, you just haven’t seen the other side.

              Now the Japanese girl was stupid rich. So that might have been a factor. Every stupid rich girl I have dated is always a total nightmare.

                Well it’s been 25 years of this. It’s fine. The cultural differences are important though. But if you let her do her thing you’ll learn. I think men are usually like this. We generally look for an adventure and culture is part of that. Ot might be our last name officially but it’s all about the mother’s DNA. That’s the blood lineage. So we’re just sort of there to take it all in and do what men do… Get rid of the mice, the cats, the spiders or whatever. Life is good.
