9. Conservative is one thing. Republican/Trumpanzee is quite another.

The two are NOT synonymous!

I am your classic conservative, at least as defined in a dictionary of the English language (as opposed to Republicanese).

I still work for the same outfit that recruited me out of college in 1975. I have been with the same wonderful woman since 1974. We have raised two solid, intelligent children who have grown up, think independently, did well in their respective colleges, and have jobs in which they earn their own living (though one juts lost hers when her company went *poof*), have stable, long-term relationships, and are well-respected in their chosen fields.

I am risk-averse, and do not like to make rash, un-thought-out decisions. I have no debts. I have no addictions, not even to alcohol, religion, gambling, or nicotine. My favorite American philosopher is the 18th century Thomas Jefferson.

I am the epitome of “conservative.” If you stick with the English dictionary, I'm quite liberal, too.

As for your newly-ex, I agree with the others. You are better off doing this now rather than later when it will be a LOT more painful.
