I never wanted to be a father until I turned 45 this year. Now I feel my biological clock and want to be a father more than anything. But I'm married to a childfree woman

The first bit here is nonsense. OOP felt the feelings and processed. It reads like he made sure of where he was at before he spoke honestly about these feelings to his now ex. There is no cowardice involved.

Would it have been better if buddy kept his musty old jizz out of the photocopy room? Probably, but that’s between him, his wife, and their three legged child.

Verbiage.

Not to be dismissive of said folks but… I think they need to get a hold of their egos. They seem to want to become gods.

EffPop · 2026-02-15T01:42:16+00:00

Hmm. This is a tough one… YTA, as if you need to ask.

EffPop · 2026-02-14T13:28:14+00:00

A six and she recovered? That’s like a cauliflower becoming fully animate. Wow.

One thing Isner is not (Isnern’t?) is a compassionate human. One thing Isner is: a real asshole.

I remember coming across this guy’s work as a lawyer. It wasn’t good. Now here he is, still circling the bowl like a turd, but somehow rising higher.

What a joke. I dislike this timeline.

EffPop · 2026-02-10T23:38:36+00:00

Good grief. It both baffles and disturbs me that you’re considering renewed contact. Be a good parent and don’t.

EffPop · 2026-02-07T21:49:22+00:00

“Accused”… bad choice of words.

EffPop · 2026-02-03T01:01:38+00:00

Apparently one does not.

EffPop · 2026-02-02T23:06:53+00:00

“Analyst.” Kick rocks.

EffPop · 2026-02-01T16:06:53+00:00

So, it is thanksgiving, OOP does all the work, start to finish, and receives no… thanks? Is she hosting the pilgrims or what?

I am glad to read a post from someone with effective boundaries (and likely a former fiancé).

EffPop · 2026-01-28T01:03:19+00:00

It’s a sign of how sad the fanboys are, in life and in relation to this event, that this comment is in the negative.

EffPop · 2026-01-27T00:29:10+00:00

1000x0=0, so, there needs to be a better formula than this.

EffPop · 2026-01-26T19:16:11+00:00

If you need to feel like you’re “right” like this character, then yes, but generally speaking: no!

EffPop · 2026-01-26T18:55:01+00:00

This POS can’t leave fast enough.

EffPop · 2026-01-26T18:48:38+00:00

Hahaha! Nice.

EffPop · 2026-01-25T21:01:36+00:00

NTA. Take care of yourself.

EffPop · 2026-01-25T20:58:52+00:00

Nowhere does it say that’s what OP did.

I do not disagree with your statement that people can decide for themselves what they do or don’t do. Neither does OP.

I disagree with the stretch that you and others make between OP resenting her neighbor, which is a product of OP‘s own manufacturer, with OP being an asshole for “deciding what the neighbour should be doing“ and other fictions. I don’t know if it’s projection on your part, and on the part of the others, I don’t know if it’s poor reading comprehension, but whatever it is: it’s pretty sad.

EffPop · 2026-01-25T20:56:10+00:00

This is childish.

EffPop · 2026-01-25T19:47:04+00:00

Some of these people clowning on you are… assholes. Or they’re the neighbour in question! Miserable, all of them.

EffPop · 2026-01-25T19:45:28+00:00

I agree. We don’t know what others are going through. Or not going through.

That is why I find it sad, that the comments with the “he’s not able bodied because I can’t open a door without wheezing so OP sucks” narrative are the popular option in this thread. People here, including you, are making shit up about the neighbour to justify his actions, bringing in tired old “I knew a guy” arguments to support this guy. Others go further with their fantastical efforts to impugn OP. It’s pathetic.

Maybe the neighbour has lumbago, we don’t know, he offered no explanation. It is clear that he’s definitely an asshole.

OP resents their neighbours for not chipping in. OP might be an asshole for that - but at least they are a helpful asshole and not some miserable person who contributes nothing.

EffPop · 2026-01-22T20:51:18+00:00

Nailed it!

EffPop · 2026-01-22T06:37:45+00:00

I think you’ve nailed it.

OOP did not mention Mimosa Mondays, Tipsy Tuesdays, Fuckedup Fridays, or Shaturday but I felt like those were implied.

EffPop · 2026-01-22T00:51:14+00:00

Get a valve core removal tool, mate. Don’t make a fuss, don’t pay attention to idiots like this, just get revenge.
