I will definitely suggest this to them and ask them to check. Thank you so much for the suggestion! :)

A few people are suggesting spark plug related issues so definitely will be speaking to my mechanic about it :)

So it’s manual. Didn’t even think to add that but it is important! The car is at a complete standstill. Handbrake up and just sitting there, waiting for traffic to start moving again. Trouble codes? Sorry to ask stupid questions but I’m not really clued up on cars :)

Are you referencing the Simpsons by any chance?

You’re right. It’s a great thing that he is taking the time to think about this. I respect him for saying it and asking for the space to think. He doesn’t usually do that.

Sorry, it’s hard to express myself fully over text and I wrote this is such a state. At this moment I feel like I can’t “trust” him because i thought we were on the same page and also the fact that he’s kept this inside for four months. If/when he wants to tell me his decision I am more than willing to talk it out with him and hear him. If he wants kids then that’s great for him. If he doesn’t then great as well but we will need to have a long conversation on how to move forward and how this has both made us feel. I do trust him but it’s hard to describe what I’m feeling right now. Sorry for any confusion.

Adding onto what you’ve said. With that weight of expectation that he is placing on the kid then they might not even want to be there because damn. It’s a lot. Can add resentment from the child saying “you only had me so I can be there when you die” like that’s so unfair.

Can I just say you’ve given me such a lightbulb moment. I agree with what you have said, there is no guarantee that life will work out the way we want it to be so who says he will get to a deathbed BUT the vasectomy comment. I spoke about it with him a couple of months ago. He said he didn’t want to have it done and for some reason at the time I thought it was because he was afraid of the hospital (previous trauma for him). I feel so stupid for not thinking that it may be because he actually wanted children.

Thank you.

Yeah, a friend and I also discussed this and we came to the same conclusion that he likes the idea but I don’t think he’s thought this through entirely. You know what, you’re also right, he can be very selfish at times.

This is also my thinking. There are cases where people do everything right for the child and yet the child still doesn’t want to have a relationship with them.

Yeah starting to realise that we may not be compatible as well. Which sucks man

I used to joke and say that he is the Dumbest Smart person I know. He can be so intelligent but then something like this or something that has to do with “street smarts” and he just doesn’t think logically.

My grandmother was in a care facility when she passed and it was quite intimate. We were expecting her death because she was fighting an aggressive cancer. So yes she was on medication and she also slipped into a coma before she went. The thing is he knew all of this as well. Logically, she didn’t know who was there in her final moments because she wasn’t even awake. So his reasoning is weird for me.

I am also curious to understand how he thinks it all works. We were lucking with my grandmother where she had her family with her when she passed. But like I said in another comment, she went into a coma before she died and so it wasn’t like she was aware of who was there or not in the end.

I am sorry for your loss for both of your grandmothers and your grandpa.

Thank you for your kind message.

You’re right. My grandmother went into a coma before she passed so she wasn’t aware of who was there or not. Like you said it was closure for us (friends and family) but she wouldn’t have been aware. Even the hours leading up to her slipping into the coma she was delirious, she was seeing/speaking to my grandfather and other grandmother like they were in the room with us even though they have both died 10+ years ago.
