Patrick Roath holding a handwritten \"Ask Me Anything\" sign

Hello fellow Redditors. Patrick Roath (u/patrickforcongress) here. I'm challenging Congressman Stephen Lynch in the September 1st Democratic primary for Massachusetts' 8th District.

I'm a JP resident, new dad, attorney, and voting rights advocate. I spent nearly a decade as board chair of Common Cause Massachusetts where I fought for better voting rights laws and worked as an aide to Governor Deval Patrick.

I'm running because, after 25 years, Lynch has stopped showing up and fighting for us. He's the last House Democrat who voted against the Affordable Care Act. He hasn't held an in-person town hall since 2019. He was the only Massachusetts member to vote for the Laken Riley Act. We can do better.

I'm fighting for affordable housing, childcare, healthcare, term limits - and I'm doing it without corporate PAC money. We've raised more than $1 million from individual donors and outraised the incumbent 2:1 since getting in the race. We've been endorsed by Governor Patrick, the Boston Teachers Union, grassroots groups, and dozens of local elected officials.

Here is a link to my campaign page.

Ask me anything!

I 30M have been dating 34M for 6 months now, immediately after moving back from across the country after a failed engagement. We met out at a live event, and hit it off, and have been dating ever since.

We have a drastically different viewpoint on life, and different personalities. I am a very serious person (type A), albeit I love to have fun on the weekends. During the weekdays, I am very scheduled and productive. My boyfriend is completely unserious (type B), taking things day by day and just jokes around constantly. He smokes a lot of weed, but still functional on it. He has a very active social life since he’s from this area and has lived here his whole life. And I explained to him how sometimes I need him to be serious, especially when addressing an issue I bring up. And he’s been receptive, but only after repeatedly bringing up the issue and then clearly communicating like “I’m being serious, I need XYZ fixed.”

One example is he lets his dog do anything it wants. Jumps on my couch, on the bed, and digs holes in the yard. I told him upon his first visit to my house that the dog isn’t allowed on the furniture, and asked him to please stop letting it dig holes in the yard. He continued to let the dog on the furniture, and dig holes in the yard and joked that ‘he didn’t see the dog do it, so therefore it must have been some other animal.’ He thinks this is funny, but I think it’s incredibly frustrating, because I see it as an issue and he doesn’t. There have been many other examples of this, but I’ll just pick that simple one for now.

I am trying my absolute best to loosen up, and see his POV but am finding it difficult. He’s older than me, but I feel I have more life experience than him because he’s only lived in one place, had one prior relationship, etc. I am ready to settle down and eventually get married and such. But with our differences, I’m not sure if that’s possible? For context, he thinks everything is going great and would be completely blindsided if I told him this.

So, how do I navigate dating someone with a completely different personality type? What guidance can this community offer me?

Hey Ya’ll!

I have a parking pass that I no longer need for Friday. If anyone wants it, it’s a single day parking pass for 1 Vehicle. I was trying to get a refund but they wouldn’t refund me so here I am.

If u wanna buy it, that would be awesome. Otherwise I’ll give it away. Thanks!
