The Pundies: Worst Takes of 2024
The oldest president in history just got a little older. It's Joe Biden's birthday. The big 82 for the big guy and primetime would wish him a happy birthday, but we have rules here. Men don't wish men happy birthdays.

Hey Dan, Magnum Sub here. I've been dating this guy for about four months now. He's an international PhD student in my town. We've talked at great length about his home life back at home in Ghana. We have spent a fair amount of time together like anyone would when they're first dating.

I would like to spend a little bit more time with him, but respect his busy school, work, and side hustle schedule. I just happened to send him a funny reel saying, when your man is too busy, maybe you should ask him if he's married. Well, come to find out, he is. He's from Ghana, and his wife and his four-year-old son both live there.

He is trying to support them as well as himself here, so I respect that. We did talk about all this in a very civilized manner. He explained to me that it was just expected culturally that when they got out of college that they would get married, and therefore they did. It was asked of him from his father, and so he committed to marrying her. They have never lived together.

They've actually only lived in separate countries most of the time they've actually been married. Culturally, I do know this is an expectation, and I can respect traditions and culture. He stated that he wasn't sure if he would get a divorce or not. He's not sure if he's really even given the marriage a real shot. He just wanted to see what the future holds and go from there.

The problem is, now what? I feel kind of betrayed that he didn't tell me all this up front. He said he wanted to, but he didn't want me to think less of him or treat him differently. I care for him, but I also can't wait around for him either. I am looking for something long term.
