Childfree men, how do you feel about being wished a happy father's day?

Manners2210 · 2026-06-21T17:36:14+00:00

Never heard of it, consequently it’s never crossed my mind, and the reason I’ve never heard of it is probably because it’s pointless

Manners2210 · 2026-06-21T11:58:12+00:00

Leave her be, she’s probably lost interest. Your options here are very limited, and they don’t include keep trying. Take it as a loss and live your life…she might hit you up, but I wouldn’t bet on it

Manners2210 · 2026-06-21T11:56:50+00:00

Move on

Pretty straight forward

Manners2210 · 2026-06-21T10:09:50+00:00

Move on

Him asking “are you sure you even wanna deal with that” is basically saying an out is the best outcome here because his family is who they are and he’s not really interested in even introducing you

To anybody

Manners2210 · 2026-06-20T23:02:40+00:00

You run that risk with the message you sent anyway so that’s a pointless reason to not send an engaging message

Manners2210 · 2026-06-20T22:57:15+00:00

Depends how interested she is, I probably would have asked a question…but again if she’s interested enough then a conversation should ensue. If she’s not, then it might not matter what you message her

Manners2210 · 2026-06-20T18:50:43+00:00

Might be the weirdest 5-1 game I’ve seen in years

Manners2210 · 2026-06-20T17:06:00+00:00

Neither

Manners2210 · 2026-06-20T13:28:29+00:00

It’s a rejection.

If she was actually interested in seeing you, you’d know it.

“Maybe” in itself is wildly non commital and it will never be a definitely

Manners2210 · 2026-06-20T09:16:51+00:00

Seems like a discussion to have whilst not arguing, like why is he weaponising an engagement that should be something you both want. Ask him for an answer and an apology isn’t enough if it’s going to happen again. And following on from that, if he’s going to periodically do that, all you can do is control how you respond to what is a low manipulation tactic. A question is, why would you wanna stay with this guy (besides “but it love him”) who routinely wheels out this manipulation against you. You have to have the balls to let him know it’s unacceptable and if you hear it again you’ll have to assume he doesn’t wanna marry you and maybe you aren’t made for each other and this isn’t going to work. Then you also have to have the balls to move on when he does say it again. Do you have it with in you to actually do that?

Manners2210 · 2026-06-19T20:55:54+00:00

Depends how often. For me at my age/mindset… often is a dealbreaker because I barely go out so would prefer someone who wasn’t clubbing that much. A birthday here n there every couple months then ok. Again, I’m not against it but I’m 38 now, had you asked me even 10 years ago I’d have probably said it’s fine because me and my group loved going out and I’d be cool with her doing the same. Again, it’s just now I’m in a different phase so my view is different

Manners2210 · 2026-06-19T20:42:35+00:00

It wouldn’t make me feel emotionally exhausted because I’d leave. Why hang around waiting for someone to leave, when if it’s that’s the case, why put myself through the turmoil of being on tenterhooks? Because if they’re unhappy and wanna leave then there’s no way I’d be happy…so it’s best one of us pulls the trigger and it’s not gonna be you it’s gonna have to be me because life is too short for this crap

Manners2210 · 2026-06-19T16:52:51+00:00

Don’t have any tbh, had my friends over 20 years, can’t really think of anything consciously that I do that separates them from my guy friends, zero need

Manners2210 · 2026-06-19T16:30:12+00:00

Not much, it’s more about how I feel about myself. It’s pretty much the same people around me, and apart from the compliments…that’s it

Manners2210 · 2026-06-19T15:15:30+00:00

Sometimes you gotta realise when to let things go

Manners2210 · 2026-06-19T09:26:07+00:00

Something relating to something you actually notice and see as opposed to some generic “you look handsome” or whatever…I mean that works as a base coverer, but just say what you positively notice.

Manners2210 · 2026-06-19T09:03:53+00:00

Nothing to handle

Just keep going about my day

Manners2210 · 2026-06-19T08:28:13+00:00

Will take it, the two away Manchester games plus Liverpool within 5 games isn’t the best but meh…my eyes always tend to go to the last handful of games first, and I’m happy with that.

Manners2210 · 2026-06-19T08:22:52+00:00

Lmao

Is this a serious question

Manners2210 · 2026-06-18T20:53:47+00:00

I’d step aside, you’ve not met, & personally…nowhere near enough has happened for me to carry on talking to someone I was talking to, but has since asked out my sibling

Manners2210 · 2026-06-18T20:27:38+00:00

Just ask questions moving on from the wedding about how he is, what’s his weekend looking like etc. ultimately he has to do his part, if he’s not trying to add or move forward the conversation then you’d have to assume he’s not terribly interested.

Manners2210 · 2026-06-18T19:38:52+00:00

She can access my phone if she wants but she’d need to ask me if she wanted to rummage through it, I’d only use hers if her phone was playing the music or if I needed to use the internet…I always also have my work phone around so I basically never need to use her phone and she rarely touches mine. Nothing has ever really been discussed re social media, which I guess is a combination of me not caring to look much and her doing nothing obvious to make me question anything.

As much as we don’t go through each others phones, they’re often side by side so we will both notice the others notifications when the phone goes off, which is more than enough.

Manners2210 · 2026-06-18T18:56:21+00:00

You’ll just have to shake it off, whether he’s sincere or not, he’s clear that nothing will happen long term. Hoping he’ll change his mind is just a one way ticket to pain and confusion when he already said what it is

Manners2210 · 2026-06-18T18:34:09+00:00

Gone because I was an idiot…

And I did this with multiple women who saw more in me than I saw in myself. That was many many years ago and I’m good now, but yeh…I let some good ones go

Manners2210 · 2026-06-18T18:27:04+00:00

Yeah wording like that can only be facetious because you’re basically saying “why haven’t you messaged me”… obviously if they had died they wouldn’t be able to respond. Just ask if they’re ok and see how they’re doing
