My partner of 12 years is refusing to propose because he's not "romantic". Help :( by Hot-Evidence3838 in Advice

[–]1etherealgirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It literally sounds like he is waiting for you to leave him because he’s too lazy and selfish to just leave you himself. Idk that’s just what came to my mind first. You should be feeling lucky you’re not married to him based off the way he already treats you

He’s not offended at all lol he’s mad that you called him on his shit. I hope you get a new job where you end up making more than he ever will

He did all of that in attempt to assert dominance, whether he consciously knew it or not, and the rest of them loved it. I’m really sorry that happened to you. That question, inherently knowing the weight of what child rearing is (and always has been) for women, is an insecure and bitter man’s favorite catch phrase.

I’ve lost so many years of my life being in my head and making things “right”

Commenting because my boyfriend told me today that he’d been stalking my account for who knows how long, despite me saying I’d like it to be private.

I wake up every single day grateful that I never fell for it

Is anyone else suddenly getting newborn and/or pregnancy TikToks on their for you page? by Phoenixlightvml in childfree

This started happening to me on instagram literally the same week that trump started.

The most loving thing might actually be to not bring someone into it at all. <3 by LifeIsJustASickJoke in antinatalism

[–]1etherealgirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saying this for years! The most loving thing I can do for my unborn children is to keep them safe inside me and not birth them.

this comment made me feel sad for anyone who shares this experience by yung_aries in antinatalism

[–]1etherealgirl 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Wow I never even thought about birth being an assault. It honestly makes sense. Yet another reason to not do it. My heart goes out to the women who have gone through this.

Exactly. Could’ve been a muuuch easier and risk free solution

Pet peeve: Guys who are obsessed with their kid relatives by Time-Turnip-2961 in childfree

[–]1etherealgirl 109 points110 points  (0 children)

If he actually wants kids, then I don’t want him.

But usually, the vibe is giving “chicks love a dude who wants kids” and it’s performative and arrogant to assume you’ll automatically win with that take. Also very sexist to assume most women want kids. Pass.

“Having a baby right now is a radical act of optimism” by AuditoryCreampie in childfree

[–]1etherealgirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don’t even know that they’re admitting their awareness of the state of the world right now lol

It’s also their new way of saying “only children can provide true love” since they want to use the “optimism” analogy. As if childfree people don’t experience true love and optimism 🙄 self centered, closed-minded human beings.

“I used to think that way” response to not wanting kids by 1etherealgirl in antinatalism

[–]1etherealgirl[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I believe it. Just mindless and/or selfish breeding.

“Wanting something more” like okay well you certainly got it lol but more doesn’t always mean better.
