Andre disowning Chloe is such a disgusting cop-out, oh my God. And not even for the writers, no, I’ve talked enough about how much the writing of season 5 is really badly thought out. It’s a disgusting cop-out for Andre.
We’ve seen that he apparently had dreams to be a film director and to make the world a better place, but had to give it up to “fit in” with his family. He became the mayor literally just to impress Audrey and hates his current life because of her and his “selfish, heartless daughter”. So now he wants out. And he gets out by... giving it all up.
And, yes, if there are toxic people in your life, people who make you give up your dreams to pursue them and further destroy your life by disrespecting you and treating you like shit, then drop them. But this isn’t just his wife that he could divorce, no. This is his daughter we are talking about.
Chloe, no matter how terrible she is, is still a product of his own shit parenting. If he didn’t want a heartless and selfish daughter, maybe he should have actually put effort into raising her rather than just throwing money at her every time she cried. The fact of the matter is that she’s like every other child on the planet: she didn’t ask to be brought into the world. It was his own decision to have a child, but when it got too hard, he just gets to give up??
And we’re supposed to side with him as the victim?
My brother in Christ, it is your fault your daughter’s a fucking asshole. It is your mess to fix and your problem to deal with. You can’t just say “well, I tried” and drop her like that. What happened to parental responsibility? To taking care of your goddamn kids and helping them through their childhood? Andre didn’t try for a second to help his daughter become a better person and just put his own shortcomings on her “nature”.
And what’s worse, is that he gets “awarded” custody of Zoe. He gets rewarded for being a shit parent by getting another kid to fuck up with. I feel terrible for Zoe. She’s still a kid and deserves at least one loving parent, not some idiot who failed at both jobs he was given throughout his adulthood: being a mayor and a father. It isn’t fair to Chloe, and it especially is not fair to Zoe.
Why are they being punished because Andre Bourgeois can’t take responsibility for a goddamn thing in his life?

WELP
I've been grousing for weeks that our two person team is understaffed and stretched thin and I re-emphasized it today with my manager in our one-to-one after he re-emphasized that the business is really going to try to shore up how the app works and make it better and get more customers to use it.
I told him that if we do get more customers or start accommodating higher volume sends from big customers and we're really not pursuing any kind of simple automation for our work then we'll almost certainly see more compliance issues, meaning we'll have to continue to let things like projects and regular audits fall off the table while we scramble to keep at our core work of abuse reports, delistings, and Spamhaus listings.
He said that if that's how it would be then that's how it would be.

I need some advice.
Before I begin, I want to clarify just a couple things, because this is not going to paint me in the best light, I’m aware of this. I should have ended things months ago, but I didn’t, and now here I am. This is about breaking up with my boyfriend.
Now, it’s a complicated situation for 2 reasons.
One, I am leaving for Korea in February, and haven’t told him anything about it. I’m not factoring that into this though, not really, as I very much plan to be broken up by then.
And two, he helps me out with getting rides home at night. My job is forcing me to work an hour past the last bus and without it, I would be walking home in the dark for about 30 minutes (the dark isn’t the problem. The upcoming snow and negative temperatures are). I know that makes me look so shitty, but there are other factors at play here, I swear. I’m not using him just for rides, although I am aware that I do use him in that regard, something I was actively trying to avoid before and now, I’m stuck. I tried to reason with my work last year about this and was told that he could just stay clocked in for an hour (he clocks out an hour before me, he stays to give me a ride). I tried explaining that it wasn’t a good idea for me to rely on him for this, and was ignored by everyone, management and him. He was very insistent that it was fine, and I’ve been through this before, where it’s fine...until it’s not. And now it’s not.
I know that it is partly my fault, I chose this, but I did warn him that relying on him for shit like this was bad, it never ends well. But the ride thing is my own mess to deal with. After finding out some new info, I’m going to talk to management/personnel about changing my hours so I can take the bus home. I shouldn’t have to rely on someone to get me home, that’s ridiculous.
(As a side note, I’ve also been pushing him to get a new job. We don’t work in the same department, but we do work at the same place. He’s miserable where he’s at and for multiple reasons, I’ve tried to get him to quit and find something better. I want him to be happier, but I also want him to leave so I don’t have to see him every single day. He’s adamant he wants to stay, but I know the reason is me and I hate that.)
But what I need advice about is the breaking up with him part. Now, before anyone says it, I am already aware that I just need to do it. Just get it over with, the sooner, the better. But for a variety of reasons, I’m struggling to figure out how to ease him into it.
I’ve debated different scenarios, including just telling him I want to teach English, then telling him I got a job,then going and breaking up with him then, but that’s insane, I won’t do it that way. There are many reasons for my uncertainty, a lot to do with how he is as a person. I could go more into detail, but the very, very basic rundown is this: he has anger issues (although he acts like he does not), he’s clingy and seems to dislike how independent I am, even though he won’t voice that, he rarely voices if I’ve done something to upset him, which I know I have, but anyways. We’ve been growing apart for months, and I honestly thought he would just give up and break up with me, but I’m his first real girlfriend, and he seems determined to spend his life with me, despite us being a good ways into this relationship and me giving him barely anything (again....this does not paint me in the best light. If you need more clarification on this, I can make a separate post.)
So, my question is what would be a good way to ease into breaking up with him? I see him every day at work, for both my breaks, and he gives me a ride home. That’s really the only time we see each other. Like I said, I’m not concerned about the Korea thing, at least not yet. That may make me seem like an asshole, but it’s necessary for now. I’m more concerned with ending things with him completely. Any advice?
