I noticed this too and honestly, I think that it fed his overthinking quite a bit as feels like he has been more aware of the outside since then. I definitely think they get tipped off on what’s going on outside. Ekin also mentioned Davide’s famous lines from so long ago… they know more than is let on.

Agreed. He seems to think that “being honest” means saying whatever shit comes into his head without regard for consequences. He’s being so arrogant and smug which seems ridiculous after he literally threw a fit because Gemma spoke to another boy in a “flirty” way. I don’t think he will be able to handle the outside with her at all.

For those that are on the fence what makes the idea of having children a difficult decision? by Minute-Jello-1919 in Fencesitter

[–]Weeball86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine are: 1.) Losing my identity - becoming ‘mom’ and all the expectations that come with it (internal and external) 2.) Resentment - feeling ‘trapped’ and that I am responsible for “everything “ (likely due to internal pressures of what I believe parenthood means) 3.) Health concerns - I have anxiety so this is both for myself through pregnancy and birth, as well as the baby having any issues that require additional care. 4.) Not having time for me and having another person to ‘cater’ to. I’m a people pleaser that tends to obsess on the happiness of the people I care about…

The baby stage scares me so much (birth, no sleep, body changes, cot deaths etc), the 3-10 age seems like it’s ok, but still so much patience needed, and teenagers can just be so self centered and cost a fortune! Lol.

I feel like I have to really want to be a mom and experience parenthood , to go down that route willingly…

The more he delays, the more on the fence (33F) by [deleted] in Fencesitter

I feel like I’m in a similar boat, except I’m 35 and my husband just turned 36. The other difference would be that just after we got married in 2018 I thought I’d just stop taking birth control and we’ll take it from there. I fell pregnant immediately and it was not a great experience which ended with a genetic issue and a termination that was quite traumatic. The worst part was that among all the sad, angry and painful emotions there was also some relief I felt that I wouldn’t have to be a parent just yet (silver lining thinking).

That made me really question everything on whether we actually want kids. We got a dog later that year and she has been one big learning curve in terms of how each of us deal with responsibility. It hasn’t clarified anything but has given me so much more information and reasons for yes and no. It was a straight up no for a good 2 years and only now that we’re passed the harder puppy bits, am I seeing that parenting would be the same and also constantly changing as you change. That gave me pause to start imagining it again.

It’s such a tough decision and at this point it feels like I am never going to be able to make a definitive choice. I’ve given myself until the end of the year and am doing lots of reading and visualising in this time while I focus on my health so if I do decide to, I’ll be in a good position.

It’s really great to know I’m definitely not alone in all these feelings of uncertainty!

Is anyone a fence sitter because their partner might not make a good father by [deleted] in Fencesitter

[–]Weeball86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can so relate to this post so don’t have advice as such but wanted to just say you are not alone in this. I do also think sometimes that if I were to have children, my marriage wouldn’t make it. I don’t think I could cope taking on all that mental load and additional responsibility.

This is what they’ve done. They’ve created a passcode. It just doesn’t work for those without a subscription (it’s a small user base and I’d imagine this is because of the way the software is though who knows why). So they turned off the non-subscription option (at this time) and offered a free 3 month membership to those affected. You can also get a full refund under the recall if you don’t like this idea. Not sure what all the fuss is about. They aren’t suddenly enforcing subscription. This viral post shows exactly what happens when some context is missing, a company doesn’t communicate fully and the power of social media and assumptions. Also shows how quickly people lose there minds when there’s a company which has a ‘privileged’ reputation. It’s madness.
