I was raised in a religious setting in a rural region in Portugal ( which is why I spelled “tabu”, sorry for that) and my reality was very similar to the one of your spouse. And I had it easier than my sister which is older and a woman. We both got out of there.
But while my social circle is nothing like that anymore, whenever my sister and I have to manage our elderly mother and her health problems, it’s a struggle all over again.
So, it’s good that your wife found a partner where those barriers are to be taken down. It’s something that truly saves lives.
No reason to apologize for spelling. I’m glad to hear your circle has gotten nicer as well. (Also I hope your mother is well)
To be honest I always try to spell things like Brasil instead of Brazil when I can, not because it matters much, but when Trump wanted to say we should call it something other than the Golf of Mexico, I figured I should move my choice of words further the other direction.
It accomplishes nothing, but sometimes it’s the little things in life that keep you positive.
