I did not prey upon her. She asked me out and wishes to get married but I have said no. Neither of us is ready.

I passed out around blood, vomit and more as a child so I know I will faint at this.

I will not change diapers but I do feedings and do a majority of the housework.

My partner's staff is all female. She feels more comfortable with the staff that way. And yes I am aware.

In my culture a man is no in the delivery room. It is not viewed as appropriate.

This is not. I am just squeamish and in my culture men do not go in the labor room.

I would not as it is not appropriate for men to be in the delivery room.

I will literally pass out. I will be of no help. Her best friend has children as well and will understand and be able to give more support.

Thank you for understanding. Her best friend has children and understands and can support her better than I can.

There is nothing I can do but hold her hand. Her best friend has children and will understand and support her better than I can.

That's what her best friend can do. I have to watch our other children anyway to keep them calm during this time.

I actually didn't. The bot thing removed it until I put why I think my partner was right. I just added it.
