    She doesn’t seem like the best catch.

    “He brought happiness back to me, and taught me what it is like to be loved correctly,” Gardner wrote on the site. “He encouraged me, and still encourages me each and every day. He sees the best in me, and never has given up, despite how difficult I can be sometimes.”

      There are very few people who are a “catch” in the traditional sense. You have to be hot, with no faults, flaws, or baggage. High bar.

      We are all depressed, stressed, anxious, self-absorbed people, in our own ways and to our own degrees. Admitting and understanding your shortcomings is hard. Having someone in your life that you can say those things about is a godsend. In the real world, the only requirement for being a catch is that you work your ass off so that your partner can say the same.

      Also, this woman is having a baby shower. She’s probably 7-8 months pregnant. Having been through that a few times, she’s probably a hormonal, emotional wreck under the best of circumstances, but her husband is in a concentration camp, and thanks to the Supreme Court, he can be deported to Sudan with no repurcussions.

        But she voted for that and this obviously happened his first term if you looked at it at all. I’m guessing that she didn’t think her husband was the right kind of brown to get deported?

        It’s great you have empathy for her, but there are a lot of people before her that I would share that with. This is happening to families that don’t have any support, I’m assuming her family and friends are there for her if she’s having a baby shower.

      Sounds like the type of woman whose whole existence and personality is “So-and-so’s wife”. Aka typical Republican woman.

      I’m sure every Trump supporting man tells their woman she’s so difficult for simply wanting to be treated reasonably or speaking

      He may not know it yet, but ICE may have saved him. From her. He voted for Rrump so it’s going to take some heavy deprogramming to get him to realize he is the target and that he voted to pull the trigger.
