Since his first job as a young lawyer in Washington, John Roberts' work has been entangled with Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that gave women a right to end a pregnancy. He helped hoist the banner against Roe in the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations. But years later, during 2005 Senate hearings for the chief justice post he now holds, Roberts testified that Roe should be respected as precedent, particularly after being affirmed in 1992. And he has largely held to that. Now, Roberts, the Supreme Court and the country face a pivotal moment for abortion rights. And Roberts' action in a dispute the court will take up this week, over Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban, could be his most consequential of him. He leads a conservative bench that, since last year's succession of Amy Coney Barrett for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has appeared on the precipice of reversing Roe v. Wade. Dueling parties in the Mississippi case known at Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization have laced their briefs with lines from Roberts' opinions regarding abortion rights and the value of adhering to precedent or, alternatively, discarding it. The chief justice writes with care, never leaving himself in cement, which lets both sides emphasize the words that suit their purpose. Roberts represents more than one vote among the nine. As chief, he steers the discussion. If he is in the majority, he also assigns the opinion that he will speak for the court. Further, Roberts has tried to inspire public confidence in the federal judiciary and repeatedly argued that his opinions reflect justices' neutral, impartial views rather than any political instincts. Polls show that public approval of the court has dropped in recent months, notably since September 1 when the majority allowed a Texas ban on abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy to take effect even as litigation over the law that plainly conflicts with Roe v. Wade was underway. Roberts broke from his colleagues on the right wing in that case, dissenting as he wrote that the court should at least temporarily suspend the ban while courts assessed the validity of the law. The court heard oral arguments on November 1 and has yet to rule. nlike the distinct procedural dispute in the Texas case, the Mississippi abortion controversy goes right to the heart of abortion rights, testing whether women nationwide have a right to end a pregnancy before viability. That is, when a fetus can live outside the womb, at 22-24 weeks. Both Roe v. Wade, nearly a half century ago, and the decision that affirmed it two decades later, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, declared viability to be the cutoff line for when the pregnant woman's interest could be eclipsed by protection for the fetus. "Casey reaffirmed 'the most central principle of Roe v. Wade,' 'a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy before viability,'" Roberts wrote in a 2020 Louisiana case as he quoted the 1992 decision. The question now is whether that line will hold.

It was 2 a.m. and the sun was shining, as it does day and night in mid-July in Norilsk, a Siberian city 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Igor Klyushin went to the bank of the river where he used to fish with his father for grayling, a dorsal-finned beauty known for its graceful leaps above the surface. "A very merry fish," Klyushin recalled. "It enjoys cold and clean, clean water." He doubted grayling would be there that night. In any event, authorities had long warned that it was unsafe to fish for them in the Daldykan River. And besides, he wasn’t there to fish. He began to record images of the clay-colored muck flowing downriver from one of the largest metal mining and smelting complexes in the world. The discolored water represented “the latest environmental crime of Norilsk Nickel,” Klyushin said in the video he posted on “Norilchane” - or “Citizens of Norilsk” - the YouTube channel he helps moderate. members, have become gathering places for distressed residents of Norilsk, the northernmost city in the world. The city of 176,000 has long been recognized by environmentalists - and even by the Russian government - as one of the most polluted places on Earth, because of one business: Norilsk Nickel, the world's biggest producer of palladium and high-grade nickel and a top producer of platinum, cobalt and copper. Built as a resource colony by prisoners in the Soviet Gulag, Norilsk outlasted communism, embraced capitalism, and it now aims to ramp up production to sell the metals needed for electric vehicle batteries and the clean energy economy. Norilsk Nickel is the world’s leading producer of the high-purity Class 1 nickel that electric vehicle industry leaders like Tesla CEO Elon Musk are seeking. The company’s ambitions coincide with those of Russian President Vladimir Putin for greater development in the Far North, which he maintains can be accomplished sustainably. But Norilsk Nickel has undermined its own vision for the future by spoiling a priceless environment, with implications for the entire planet. The company’s pollution has carved a barren landscape of dead and dying trees out of the taiga, or boreal forest, one of the world’s largest carbon sinks. Its wastewater has turned glacial rivers red. Its smokestacks belch out the worst sulfur dioxide pollution in the world. And last year, a corroded tank burst and released 6.5 million gallons of diesel fuel into waters that flow to the Kara Sea. It was the largest oil spill in Arctic history. Although Norilsk Nickel maintains that no diesel fuel made it to the Arctic Ocean, the Russian government’s fisheries science agency told Inside Climate News that its testing showed that the contamination had reached that far. In September, Norilsk Nickel agreed to negotiate the settlement of an $ 800 million lawsuit that the federal fisheries agency, known as Rosrybolovstvo, filed against the company this summer over the damage to the region’s aquatic resources. Norilsk is an example of the kind of systematic and long-term devastation that has animated a global movement to make destruction of nature an international crime. The campaign aims to treat “ecocide” in the same way as genocide or crimes against humanity, offenses prosecutable by the Hague-based International Criminal Court. The ecocide campaign has drawn attention to the failure of national laws to halt severe and widespread or long-term damage that has international consequences. Norilsk is grappling with such damage, both as part of a region that is especially vulnerable to climate change and as a city reliant on an industry that has poisoned its land and water. Norilsk Nickel maintains that it can rehabilitate its environment. It paid a $ 2 billion fine for last year’s diesel spill, the largest environmental penalty in the country’s history, and it has pledged to spend more than $ 5 billion on both pollution control and economic and social revitalization throughout its territory of Krasnoyarsk Krai. “We do acknowledge that there are legacy issues relating to our business,” a company spokesman said in written responses to questions from Inside Climate News, referring to the problems left over from the Soviet era. "We are implementing far-reaching measures to address them." Local government officials are enthusiastic about Norilsk Nickel’s program. The city and the territory plan to build a hospital, renovate housing and even create an Arctic Museum of Modern Art. Krasnoyarsk Krai Gov. Alexander Uss has proposed making Norilsk the official capital of the Russian Arctic. But residents like Klyushin are skeptical, given the pollution they’ve seen even after the company paid its fine. “When I came that night to see the Daldykan, my heart really sank, and it was broken,” Klyushin said, speaking by phone through an interpreter two weeks after he took video of the discolored water in July. "The river was red with pulp, and the chemical smell is still in my lungs." LINK: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/norilsk-russian-arctic-became-one-polluted-places-earth-rcna6481

Your dog is as smart as a two-year-old. Did you know that dogs understand approximately 250 words or gestures? Very similar to what happens to a 2-year-old. That is why it is so common for dogs and small children to get along so well ... They can hear 4 times more than humans Dogs have quite a developed sense of hearing, and this has to do with the frequencies of sounds and how their brain responds. They are capable of hearing sounds so ‘low’ that we are unable to detect. Physically, a one-year-old dog equals a 15-year-old human This, of course, will also depend on each breed ... In general, large dogs age faster than small ones. There are some calculators that help you to know more accurately the age of your dog. Dogs and cats use the same technique to drink water What is this technique? It sure is something you have never questioned. Both bend the tip of the tongue and raise the water vertically to the mouth. They have sweat glands on their legs Exactly, between the foot pads. That is why, it is not surprising that they leave a damp trail with their feet on the hottest days ... Is able to miss you Yes, and they learn our routines and habits, so they can calculate when it is time for the daily walk, for dinner ... In addition, there are studies that show that dogs act differently when their owners are absent for different periods of time. Detect your feelings ... According to various studies, dogs can detect subtle changes in our scent, which helps them understand how we feel (for example, if you sweat, it can interpret that you are nervous or restless). They also ensure that dogs are able to detect if a family member is pregnant. His whiskers help him see in the dark It's not about night vision, of course. But it is true that thanks to their whiskers they can detect subtle changes in air currents, which gives them information about the size, shape and speed of things nearby. Thus, they can better perceive the proximity of some danger, even at night Their sense of smell is 1,000 to 10 million times better than ours Depending on the breed, dogs have between 125 and 300 million olfactory glands, compared to just 5 million for humans. And the part of the dog's brain that controls odor is 40 times bigger than ours. Some don't bark Specifically, a race native to eastern Basenji, widely used for hunting. It has the peculiarity of not barking, but it does emit a curious sound (similar to a Tyrolean song). LINK: https://www.esquire.com/es/actualidad/g27654738/curiosidades-perros/

Two sheep photographed on a rooftop in Cambridge have caused bemusement on social media. A photo taken from Mill Lane shows the animals standing on a small roof peering into a window. Questions about "why" and "how" were asked on Facebook after the photo was shared by a university lecturer. However, the sheep's owner has confirmed the pair are in fact life-sized models which are occasionally taken down for a jet-wash. The pair have apparently been on the roof for a number of years, but the spot, on Little St Mary's Lane, is shielded from most people's view. But when Cambridge University economics professor, Chryssi Giannitsarou, began working on the top floor of a library on Mill Lane this month, she was surprised to see the sheep staring back at her. "It was indeed a very funny thing to see," she said. "It took me a good few seconds to realize [they were models] when I saw them out of the window. They are very realistic." The secret of their pristine appearance is the occasional jet-washing on the street outside, owner Nicky Woodruff said. She said the sheep-named Hillary and Billary-used to be in her garden de ella, but when she moved to the city center, they were consigned to a garage until she and her husband de ella decided to place them on the roof. "Occasionally my husband takes them down to the street and jet-washes them," she said "Someone got quite angry once, as they thought he was jet-washing a real dog." Dozens of people commented on the photo of the sheep when it was posted on the Odd Things Around Cambridge Facebook group. The model sheep are not the only odd things to be placed in high-up spaces in the city. Earlier this week, several Santa hats appeared on statues and a gargoyle on St John's College in stunt later blamed on "rascal students".

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden descended on the island of Nantucket this week looking to preserve the sense of normalcy that the nation was so looking forward to over this holiday season. The President and first lady brought a brood of children, grandchildren and their significant others to their island Thanksgiving getaway - along with the Secret Service apparatus, small flock of staff and gaggle of reporters that travels with the president - looking to send a signal to the rest of the country that it was time to return to traditions that had been skipped in 2020. They went through their Thanksgiving routine: They had their feast with family on Thursday before walking through Nantucket on Friday, dining at a local restaurant and shopping at stores they have visited for decades before attending the lighting of the town's Christmas tree. The President tweeted in support of small businesses and restaurants Friday, making good on his pledge to shop small during that afternoon stroll. But as has happened so often in the past year and a half, the pandemic is never far away for the President, as he - like other Americans - woke up to new worries over a concerning variant of the coronavirus spreading abroad. As the Bidens smiled through their Thanksgiving traditions, the harsh reality of Covid-19's unpredictability interrupted the celebrations on Black Friday. Reports of the new Omicron variant of the virus - B.1.1.529, discovered in South Africa - prompted fresh concerns among scientists and the Biden administration. As South African officials briefed the World Health Organization on Friday, a new wave of travel restrictions were imposed abroad as countries like the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan moved unusually quickly to set new travel bans for South Africa and other countries in the region. Stock markets in the US and abroad fell sharply Friday on the news, with the Dow Jones industrial Average logging its worst day since October 2020 as investors reacted to the new uncertainty of the virus's trajectory. On Friday afternoon, the President announced new travel restrictions on South Africa and seven other African nations - a move that he said was meant to be "cautious" over a new "big concern." The stock slide, reports of cases of the new variant showing up in additional nations around the world and travel restrictions on affected nations brought back echoes of the pandemic's early days rather than the optimistic view the administration has sought to project in the last several weeks. The news from southern Africa turned Biden's annual trek to Nantucket from a signal of better days to come into a message that the nation's new normal can be preserved - at least for now. Biden and his team view effectively tackling the pandemic as the only way for the economy to improve and for the President to recover his political fortunes. Questions are now circulating about how the administration will handle the new variant and its economic havoc, as federal health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci warn that there is much to learn about how it spreads and how vaccines can fight it. The continued economic fallout from the pandemic - still far from over this holiday week - was clear both on Wall Street and in the seaside town where the Bidens broke bread. Conversations with local business owners and workers across Nantucket underlined the growing economic disparities between the summer season residents and many of the islanders who live here year-round. That gap has been exacerbated by the pandemic and resulting inflation, supply chain issues, labor shortages and a lack of affordable housing. Richard Vargas, a manager at Murray's Beverage Store, on the town's main street, told CNN that the labor shortages mean he is seeing businesses having trouble "being able to gain enough people out here for work, people wanting to go to work, and getting the supplies to be able to provide a service for everybody around the island. " "There are a lot of hardworking people here," he said - many of whom, he explained, hold at least two jobs to pay rising housing rental costs and to buy food. Vargas, who holds a second job at FedEx, said a scarcity of J-1 visas for people coming to the US seasonally to work has also made it hard to recruit workers. "We know there's a lot of people that wanted to come back this year that couldn't because they couldn't get a visa. It's just absolute craziness - like, all the stores along here, any of the businesses over here, they say the same thing: They could not get enough help, "Vargas said. Biden is staying at the home of billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, a sprawling waterfront compound. But on an island often described as "elite," "tony" or "posh," the economic concerns affecting the nation are acutely felt among those who keep the place running - the landscapers, the servers, the cooks, the hotel housekeepers, the shop employees. Despite continued prosperity for the very rich, there is a "growing year-round po[CENSORED]tion living at or below the median income level" and a "severe shortage of year-round affordable rental housing," according to the Nantucket Food, Fuel, Rental Assistance program. Food insecurity is on the rise, with the Greater Boston Food Bank identifying Nantucket County as one of four counties in Massachusetts that have "seen their projected food insecurity rates increase by over 70.0%" in the past year, per the town's Nantucket Cottage Hospital. And the labor shortage extends to teachers, police officers and first responders, with the Nantucket Current reporting in August that a staff exodus from the Nantucket Department of Public Works had "crippled" its workforce. Concerns about the gap between rich and poor on the island were echoed by local business owners at the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce's "Business After Hours" happy hour Wednesday evening, with one attendee describing "the different Nantucket economies" of the rich and privileged and of those supporting their lifestyles. It's no secret that presidential vacations historically do not reflect the experiences of ordinary Americans, from President Donald Trump's frequent Mar-a-Lago escapes in Palm Beach, Florida, to President Barack Obama's summer vacation in nearby Martha's Vineyard. They've often been aware of the political dangers in selecting tony locations - in 1995, President Bill Clinton's political adviser conducted a poll to determine a voter-approved vacation spot for the Clintons, settling on Grand Teton National Park. But for the Bidens, the trip this year is meant to be a symbol to the country that Americans can enjoy the holiday traditions that the coronavirus kept them from experiencing last year. The Bidens have been spending Thanksgiving on Nantucket for 46 years. It was the spot the President spent his first Thanksgiving with Jill Biden, and the place where his late son de él, Beau, and son Hunter encouraged him to run for president in 2016.

Adding to his arsenal Consistency has been the hallmark of Piastri’s junior career, and that’s been carried over into F2 this year, where the Alpine Academy racer leads the drivers’s standings with two rounds remaining. Finishing inside of the top five in 11 out of 17 races so far this season, Piastri has missed out on the points just three times. He's also finished on the podium in five out of six feature races (where you start in your qualifying position, as opposed to the two reverse grid sprint races) and has the highest average finishing position of the grid. His consistency of him is a characteristic that should appeal to those in F1 keeping a watching brief on the young Australian. The 20-year-old is also extremely calm - you’ll struggle to find any examples of him losing his temper over team radio. “I thought that I could challenge for race wins, but I probably wasn't expecting to be so consistently at the front,” says Piastri on the current campaign. "Consistency is something that I’ve had as a trait throughout my career, and I was expecting to be consistent in my results this year - but maybe a bit lower down!" After struggling last season, Piastri has now added qualifying pace to his toolbox too, following some extensive work on that area during a test at Barcelona. Having never qualified first in F3, he's now part of an exclusive club of drivers to have taken a hat-trick of poles in F2, alongside Leclerc, Russell and Alex Albon. “It would be silly if I wasn't coming in and trying to get that third title,” Oscar Piastri says matter-of-factly. The Australian has recently been announced as the Alpine F1 team 's reserve driver for 2022, but his immediate focus on him is on achieving a feat that even generational talents George Russell and Charles Leclerc weren't able to on their way up the junior ladder. But what separates Piastri from the pair on paper is his 2019 Formula Renault Eurocup crown. Neither Russell nor Leclerc had won a title in the season prior to winning GP3, with Piastri now in with a chance of pulling off a hat-trick. So who is Oscar Piastri, and how did he get here? An unconventional route to racing The PREMA driver’s route to racing started a little differently to most. Ultimately, he ended up following a pretty conventional path, which included various karting championships, as well as two single-seater titles - in Formula Renault Eurocup and Formula 3. But initially, he began by racing on a much smaller scale, with remote control cars - not just for fun, but competitively. "There is no age limit or age groups," Piastri explains. “There is basically the top class and then the second class. I won the second class when I was nine, which was pretty cool. That was the highlight of my RC career, but I definitely raced them competitively - it wasn't just around the backyard. I think when I won the national championship, the next youngest competitor was 17 - it’s a very broad range of ages. “Me and my dad were talking about it [as a potential career] and we did think about doing it, but trying to travel the world at the age of nine or 10, even with my dad, would have involved a lot of risks and uncertainties.

In the United Kingdom, two cases of people infected with the new covid variant, Ómicron, were detected, said the Minister of Health, Sajid Javid. Javid said the cases were detected by the UK Health Security Agency in Essex and Nottingham, England. He indicated that the two cases were linked to travel to southern Africa and the people, who are related, had self-isolated along with their families while further tests and contact tracing are conducted. The new variant, which was identified in South Africa on Wednesday, was classified on Friday as a variant of concern by the WHO. Omicron has also been detected in Botswana, Belgium, Hong Kong, and Israel. Other possible cases In the Netherlands, 61 people who arrived in Amsterdam on two flights from South Africa tested positive for COVID-19, Dutch officials said. They were all isolated in a hotel near Schiphol airport. The Dutch authorities are conducting further tests to see if any case of Omicron is detected among the infections. The infected people were among 600 passengers who were held for several hours at the airport after their arrival, while they were being tested for the coronavirus. Countries around the world have been quick to introduce travel bans and restrictions to southern African countries in an effort to contain the spread of Omicron. The UK has put 10 countries on its travel red list, which means that starting from Sunday, all people arriving from those places will have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days. On Friday, the UK included South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini on the list. In his announcement Saturday, the Health Secretary said Angola, Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia would be added to that list. He also said: "We have always been very clear that we will not hesitate to take further action if that is what is required." "Today I can announce that one thing we are doing immediately is conducting specific tests and sequencing the positive cases in the two affected areas."

Which is the animal that sleeps the most and which is the least? To start, let's focus on a curiosity about animals. One of the questions that many people ask is which animal sleeps the most hours a day, as there are great doubts among sloths, koalas and others. Well, the truth is that the record is held by koalas who sleep up to 22 hours in a day, almost the entire day! Here below we leave you a video so you can learn more about this famous Australian animal. Another related question is which animal sleeps the most hours and, this time, the record is held by the giraffe, which sleeps only about 4 hours a day, in intervals of a few minutes. Furthermore, giraffes are primarily animals that sleep standing up. The most resistant animal If we think of resistant animals, a great variety of species can come to mind, from elephants to horses. However, if we take into account that the essential thing to resist is water, that is, the less dependence an animal has on it, the more resistant it will be, we find that without a doubt the most resistant animal is the camel. This resistance is due to its humps, which accumulate a large amount of fat that allows it to receive the energy it needs during the time it is without eating or drinking, in addition to its body having a facility to retain fluids. It is estimated that it can be up to 2 weeks without water. Find out more about this in this article on the Difference between camel and dromedary. The fastest animal and its speed When the topic comes up in a conversation, everyone usually responds that he is the cheetah, but this is not exact because it is on the ground or on the ground, but those who live in water and those who dominate it must be taken into account. air. The truth is that the fastest animal in the world is the peregrine falcon that can reach a speed of 360 km / h, while the cheetah can reach 115 km / h. Discover more curiosities about The fastest animals in the world and their speed in this other article. The electric discharge of eels Mainly because of their appearance, eels are animals that humans prefer not to meet while swimming in the sea or ocean. But, leaving aside their appearance, either because we do not like their teeth or their elongated shape, they can become dangerous animals for us. Why? Well, because of the electric discharge from electric eels, which exceeds 600 volts. In addition, being in water, which is a great conductor of electricity, it would not be necessary for it to touch our skin directly to be electrocuted with this voltage. However, we should not think that as soon as they see us they will attack us, we are not their source of food, they will only do so if they feel threatened. The animal with the most teeth Another curiosity of this planet is the number of teeth that certain animals can have. Therefore, many wonder: what is the animal with the most teeth in the world? The truth is that it is not the tooth fairy, as the riddle says, but the animal with the most teeth is the catfish. Specifically, it has 9,280 teeth! That's right, this fish that lives in Asia and America is the one with the most complete teeth, far surpassing even sharks. Bioluminescence This is undoubtedly one of the most curious things in nature, and that is that there are plants that glow in the dark and there are even animals and fungi that do. We can look at the species Omphalotus olearius, which is a luminescent mushroom, or the algae that form on the coasts of places like the Maldives, lighting up the entire shore, or we can remember fireflies and other glowing worms. They all owe it to the phenomenon of bioluminescence, which allows us to see unique landscapes at night.

The decision comes after a new study reviewed hundreds of scientific papers on pain reception among the invertebrate groups. A number of marine animals - including octopuses, squids, crabs and lobsters - will be recognized as sentient beings as part of a new law proposed by the U.K. government. The Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill was first proposed in May and is currently under review. The proposed law originally included all vertebrates, or animals with a backbone, but no invertebrates. However, on Nov. 19, the U.K. government announced that two invertebrate groups - cephalopod mollusks (octopuses, squids and cuttlefish) and decapod crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimp and crayfish) - will now be included on the list of sentient beings, which means their welfare will have to be considered when future government decisions are made about them .. The driving force behind this addition was a new report published Nov. 19 by The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), which reviewed evidence from hundreds of scientific studies on these two invertebrate animal groups. "After reviewing over 300 scientific studies, we concluded that cephalopod molluscs and decapod crustaceans should be regarded as sentient, and should therefore be included within the scope of animal welfare law," lead researcher Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of biological sciences at LSE, said in a statement. "I'm pleased to see the government implementing a central recommendation of my team's report." Historically, it has been hard to prove sentience in animals because it is difficult to define. "Sentience is the capacity to have feelings, such as feelings of pain, pleasure, hunger, thirst, warmth, joy, comfort and excitement," the researchers wrote in the report. However, pain reception is now widely considered to be the central criterion policymakers consider when drafting new legislation on animal welfare, they added. The new study focused on evidence for different forms of pain reception, such as the possession of pain receptors and specific brain regions associated with pain, as well as behavioral experiments that show that these animals make choices to avoid painful or stressful scenarios. Being recognized as sentient means that the welfare of cephalopods and decapod crustaceans will have to be considered in any future decision-making processes, according to the U.K. government. "The Animal Welfare Sentience Bill provides a crucial assurance that animal wellbeing is rightly considered when developing new laws," Lord Zac Goldsmith, the U.K.'s animal welfare minister, said in the statement. "The science is now clear that decapods and cephalopods can feel pain, and therefore, it is only right they are covered by this vital piece of legislation." However, the new listing will not affect existing legislation surrounding these animals. This means several questionable practices - such as selling animals to untrained handlers, transporting animals in ice-cold water and boiling animals live without stunning them and other extreme slaughter methods remain legal even for sentient animals.

It’s all about your partner, your son, your dad, your friends. But you need to find a way to include your own needs in whatever you decide I am 62 years old and semi-retired. I've worked hard all my life. In my 30s I had a son; it was just the two of us for a long time. My son had mental health issues in his teens and has autism; I am still friends with my son’s father, and they have a good relationship. Ten years ago I met a lovely man and we moved in together. My son went to uni; the expectation was he’d move out once he’d graduated. He's now 27 and still living with us. My partner can be kind and self-sufficient, but the relationship can be hard work. He doesn’t believe in autism. We agree to disagree. Most of the time they rub along together, but I sometimes feel as if I'm treading on eggshells. I told my son he would have a home with me as long as he needed it. He is fragile mentally. I’d like to live alone with my son. A few days a week I also care for my elderly dad, who lives an hour’s round trip away. My two closest friends have life-limiting diseases and also live some distance away; moving closer to my dad would also make it easier to see them more often too. Can I justify seriously upsetting a good, loyal and honest man just to please myself? I don't know how long I can carry on with this charade. What was so interesting about your letter was that the second version you sent was carefully curated to eliminate a lot of the more negative details about your partner, and thereby your justifications for wanting to leave. I could see that you had deleted certain words, making him sound better and weakening your own case. I wonder if you've always done this - ignoring how you feel for the sake of others? Going on your first letter, your partner doesn’t, actually, sound that easy to live with. And some of his beliefs - not believing autism exists - are fundamentally misaligned. Family psychotherapist Dr Reenee Singh felt you needed to be given permission “to focus on what you need, that your own happiness matters. It doesn’t sound as if your partner is supporting you enough; it sounds like the relationship is very much on his terms. " Advertisement It seemed to both of us as if your life had been largely about other people’s needs, and perhaps it started earlier than that: you mentioned you had started work young. Singh wondered if, possibly, the thought of also becoming responsible for your partner into old age was a consideration for you? This may be hard to admit. "It's important to recognize your needs," said Singh. “You have a right to happiness. But whether you stay with him or not, you do owe this man a conversation. " Singh felt individual counseling might benefit you. Whenever we contemplate a big life change, it’s important to think about the reasons we are doing it and how we’d feel if those reasons were no longer there. For example, although you seem convinced I won’t, how would you feel if your son did leave home, or met someone? What happens when your father dies or if your friends move? Would you be happy then with the decisions you've taken? Woman's hand holding red telephone receiver with out stretched arm Why does my younger sister hate our older sister? Read more When we want to leave a relationship, it’s tempting to think of it all from our own point of view, and guilt and confusion make us think that leaving will result in nothing but unhappiness - and it may, in the short term. But another way to look at it is you leaving could allow your partner to be with someone else or on his own de ella, and that might result in greater happiness for both of you.
