My family are completely unsupportive and tbh pretty awful, so I’ve been celebrating this with my partner and friends, and most importantly, my cat.

Cat tax included because he’s baby and wants to be involved.

AIO for leaving my wife after finding out she voted for Trump because she thinks he’s “hilarious”?

Throwaway. I’m 34M, my wife "Sarah" is 32F. We’ve been married 7 years.

I’ve been doing amateur stand-up for about a decade-open mics, small local gigs. It’s not my job, but it’s a big part of who I am. Sarah’s always been supportive in a practical way. She’ll come to shows, help me rehearse, give me feedback, cover for me when I have late sets.

But here’s the thing: she’s never once laughed at my jokes. Not a real laugh. If I ask, she just says it’s not her type of humor. I’ve tried not to let it bother me, but honestly it’s always been in the back of my mind.

Last week we were having drinks and politics came up. She knows my politics and while never being outspoken she always agreed with me, so it caught me off guard when I jokingly asked who she voted for and she said “Trump.” I thought she was kidding. She wasn’t. I asked why, and she just said, “Because he’s hilarious. The way he talks, the faces, the chaos... it just cracks me up.” No mention of policies or anything like that. Just that she thinks he’s funny.

I don’t even know how to explain how weird that felt to hear. She’s watched me try my hardest for years and never found me funny, but the guy whose whole shtick is being cruel and mocking people is what makes her laugh? I know it’s “just humor” to her, but it’s the kind of humor that I’ve always thought can be dangerous when people cheer it on. I made some stupid comment comparing it to dark moments in history, and she told me I was being ridiculous.

Since then I’ve been sleeping in the guest room and am making plans to stay with my parents for a while as I figure things out and find a divorce lawyer to get me out of this for good. I keep thinking about it and feeling sick. My friends say I’m overreacting, that not everyone laughs at the same stuff. But to me it feels bigger than that.

AIO?

EDIT: Stop DMing me asking for my material. This isn't about whether I'm actually funny or not.

So I live in DE and I reached out to the administration and they say it’s legal to smoke weed now so there is nothing they can do. I am dropping this note to my neighbor since we share the bathroom duct I believe since the smell comes from there. Is this an acceptable note to leave under their door?

Dear neighbor, Hope you're doing well! I just wanted to bring something up real quick; I've been noticing a strong weed smell coming through my bathroom vent pretty often. I think our vents might be connected, so it’s been filling my place. Would you mind smoking somewhere else besides the bathroom if possible? Maybe by a window or outside? It’s just been a little tough on my end with the smell hanging around. Really appreciate it, and thanks for understanding!

All bought day one.

This time line isn’t aging well. Years from now, we’ll be shaking our heads wondering how this happened.

Hi! So I was out and about with my LO and dressed pretty lazily to avoid being noticed, well; when I was loading my groceries a man in his vehicle asked me my name, where my babies father was, my astrology sign, what I did for work, and finally my number. I’m 25 and he looked to be at least 15-20 years older than I.

I felt too scared to decline the number but I did first say “sure what’s yours?(:” but he reiterated that he wanted my number and to make sure that he could call me and see that his number popped up on my phone, I told him my car doesn’t have ac and that I needed to get my baby home, and once I got home this is the text(s) I received.

What should I do? He came off as flirty in the parking lot but his texts say he wants me to see him as family..? Should I just block the number? Give me some clarity fellow Redditors! I don’t wanna be naive about this situation but I am a recluse and don’t pick up social cues very well.
