Anon has a boyfriend

My partner did this for me early in our relationship, they actually fed me and all of my overnight coworkers with a homemade meal. We have been married for more than a decade and I still tear up thinking about this memory.

Based on the people I interact with daily basically no one realizes this is happening. Outside of the IT department no one realizes or cares. I asked how we were doing to deal with tariffs on electronics we regularly used a while back and was quietly told that was a political statement and shouldn't be brought up.

Now we have no plan and I'm too bummed to be smug about it.

Again, this is just my anecdotal view.

duality of human

Part of my job is to process user feedback. The amount of times that I get opposing comments like this is wild. Sometimes the comment is subjective, but sometimes they are outright sharing opposing facts. It definitely keeps life interesting!

Interviews

My most talented coworker was a contractor that was hired on full time. He has repeatedly said he would never have made it through the hiring process. I think about that a lot.

My abuelo doesn’t understand my mental health, friend defends him

I don't know anything about your life or situation so please take this with a massive grain of salt.

Your grandpa may be a victim of a time when men were absolutely not allowed to have mental health struggles.

Seriously, I know some of us can't even fathom that, but it simply wasn't allowed.

There was no understanding, there was no conversation, and if you attempted to discuss the subject you would be met with very abrasive and inaccurate advice that is the equivalent of "suck it up" or "anxiety and depression are made up" as I am sure you have seen a lot of this still exists today.

I know this isn't advice on how to repair or improve the relationship, but it might give you some small insight as to why he may be reacting this way. We may not be able to fix the older generations (not that we should give up), but if we keep normalizing talking about our struggles maybe the next generation will be healthier than us. It's a small move, but in my life so far I feel like I have seen changes I never would have thought possible in adult men mental health.
