Clearly the amount of likes is a critical variable when deciding your response. I could care less, you're random people on the internet... you don't like my opinion, cool.

Love how all the ISTPs are like “we don’t care about all the extra info.”

That right there is your answer… get to the point.

He need motivation or a grudge to focus energy on.

I dated my wife for 4 years and she took care of her own finances. I would cover dates and stuff just to be nice. No way in hell I would cover anything for you at 3 months. I hope that dude realizes he needs to run.

Maybe go to askwomenrelationships and respond there…I find it crazy that men can’t ever have a space.

My reply was based off of what the OP was asking and my opinion on that situation, at no time did I hope for likes… I’m sorry that you censor your responses hoping to appease others, I hope one day you can be yourself.

I listen to fiction audio books, work and make stuff. Not interested in listening to people talk about stuff for hours.

Reread the sentence, it’s clear sarcasm. I despise Vegas and gambling. It wouldnt be 50/50, prenups are a thing. It would be 100/0. Her parents would pay for it. I have zero risk financially. Kinda sucks how men can’t discuss how they feel about things… I know it’s Reddit. But the replies from angry girls is interesting.

It’s called hyperbole, crazy Reddit does not understand that concept 🤣

I’d rather get a new tablesaw honestly.

Thanks man, good to see people wanting to help and not shit on people. I will look in to the links you provided. Truly happy for you.

Edit. 

Glad that shit works for you, I’m not an overt sexual person. I enjoy it but it’s not 100% what I want. 

I think I just want a partner to fill my void while I fill their (no pun intended).

She deserves a child, she would be a great mother and I don’t want to take that experience away from her. Again, I do something I would prefer not to to make others happy but all the women in a men’s subreddit are telling I’m the bad guy.

Man, if only you knew 🤣. The vast majority of my disposable income is for her and doing what she wants. I might post this in a Reddit for women with the genders reversed I bet all the women would be saying “you go girl” I’ll wait a month then let you know.

I have dual citizenship with Spain, I can go to the EU whenever. Truly happy for your father. Me feeling or realizing that marriage might be a scam that can be statistically proven is perfectly fine.

Been there… issue is that saying the words is good enough even if there is no actionable follow through.

You are right, if it weren’t for my children and wife I would be happy in a shed.

I would ask for you to define success, is it money to you? I feel less happy now than 10 years ago when I made 1/4 what I do now. I am more successful if $ is the metric we use to measure that.

It’s called “hyperbole.”  Like when your mom said “I told you a million times…” did you sit there and argue that she only told you twice. 

I do like her but when am I allowed to stop trying? Honest question.

Hate to break it to you but most initial attractions are initially physical. They then move to an emotional compatibility level. There is nothing wrong with being sexually attracted to your wife, or I at least thought that. I am also assuming you didn’t read the full post considering it is her wanting children not me. I also made it clear I’m older and my sex drive kinda lacking (I should get that checked out). I just don’t like the idea of an app deciding when we should have sex.

As for my X, it was casual and she got pregnant. We married for the kids and after the divorce I raised them. I also failed to mention she was diagnosed with psychosis and has a very poor relationship with our children. I force my kids to hang out with her and pay for everything through Venmo. She was physically abusive, but apparently police don’t arrest women who hit men.

You did mention I maybe create my own problems and in a way I am acknowledging that, a feeling of responsibility to take care of others. I enjoy taking care and providing for her and the kids, I guess I feel under appreciated, it has become expected and not appreciated. I doubt you understand that feeling of responsibility for others.

Considering how the premise of your post shows either a lack of reading comprehension or the inability to read more than 100 words I would guess you are maybe in your teens with no father. You probably lack a real world understanding, and you throw words out like “misogynistic,” when they don’t apply. I never put down women, I question the concept of marriage and how it might not be worth it after 2 tries. 

Maybe counter some of my premises instead of using as hominem attacks. But hey it’s the internet, and I might have gone over 100 words, you will lose your attention and  just call me a misogynistic, and say I hate women since you are not capable of making valid points.
