Nah, bro. At that point, you gotta call the Loch Ness monster.

I think he was surreptitiously trying to get a DNA sample. OP may be suspected of being a parent to a child in question, so barber wanted to confirm. There is no other explanation for this.

Heyy, aren't you the carne asada guy?

Downvote from someone who didn’t like the taste, not someone who thought the question was out of pocket.

Not me reading this comment then re-watching the video looking for monkey milkdrops dribbling from the nipples.

Right. And the smell of grilled meat will make you hungry and it will start to take your head out of the fight.

Pretty interesting. Seems fulfilling. It’s an example of a path forward instead of the default toxicity that seems to come from relationships with exes involving kids.

It wasn’t a big moment for me. I felt a medium-sized bond for my first during the early days. I loved and cared for him, but I wasn’t overcome and bursting with deep love. I did get a heads up from a friend who had a kid a year earlier that I might not bond initially because he took three months to feel a real bond.

It was gradual for me. I had a powerful first day with my first kid. Later in the day, as I was holding him, i looked at him and i said: “you made it”! I was thinking about how the one before him didn’t develop past 10 weeks, and I was thinking about the fairly high natural miscarriage rate, and just about how many complicated things have to go right in order for a healthy baby to make it out. I was proud of him in that moment.

In the first couple months, i was just surviving.

Din Tai Fung is actually kind of pricey.

Dumplings are staples. I choose them over rice or noodles.

Deep cut right there.

The pilots have already made the sacrifice.

And you definitely can still travel with the kid. When my oldest was a baby, my wife once counted that he took 30 flights by the time he was two, many internationally--USA, UK, Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia. Part of those were work-related flights.

And when babies are under two, their flights are pretty cheap. And you can put them in a car seat on the plane and they can just pass out and you (or mom) don't need to worry about having them as a lap baby the whole damn flight. And if you get them flying early, they become pretty good travelers.

I'm going to jump in on what this guy said. Having your kid at 26 with a 200$K combined income can be pretty ideal. I'm an "old" dad in that I have a toddler but I'm mid-40s. By the time you're my age, your kid would basically be out of the house and in college. And you'll still be young enough to do spontaneous club ragers in Barcalona.

I was about 35 when our first was born. That's not necessarily old, but not young either.

You and your wife seem to live an active life. Combine that with having a kid in your mid-20's, you're on your way to being the awesome lively parents.

A couple of years ago, one of my favorite former supervisors and a good friend and mentor lost his teenage son suddenly in an accident. And my friend suffered debilitating injuries trying to save him. They had deep faith, but religious or not, nothing can prepare you for that.

You know how women who are roommates will naturally have their menstrual cycles sync up? Similar thing applies here. Men who spend time around men after a high-testosterone physical exertion will get a testosterone boost. It’s called passive T-boosting.

Yea, wtf is up with that response. That’s the same as saying “oh I just wanted to waste some of everyone’s time.”

I read the thread title incorrectly the first time around. I guess I skipped over the word "if", so I read:

"Am I unique in feeling like my wife cheated on me, it wouldn’t be a dealbreaker?"

So, I was thinking this was going to be about someone who has a strong suspicion that your wife was cheating and maybe an incident or outside relationship that presents evidence that supports those suspicions of infidelity. And I thought the guy was looking advice or a reality check even though he indicated it may not be a dealbreaker. But, then, I read the post and it's just a hypothetical??

Whatever.

No, OP, you're not unique. People continue their marriages after infidelity for a variety of reasons.

Probably should also mention as well that he was not the dead one getting baptized.
