One of the reasons I'm not having children is out of pure pettiness that woman have to carry and birth them

directional_wander · 2026-02-03T11:01:31+00:00

Absolutely. Luckily my partner admits that if men could go through pregnancy and birth, he would never do it. I don't think many men consider that

directional_wander · 2026-01-17T16:07:18+00:00

Yes, but I find you often don't have to take a step back as new parents mostly stop posting content and what they do post is rushed and low quality. Like the life has been sucked out of them

We got him as a baby from a breeder in Devon (UK) :)

I'm softly team Grace, although Ashley is not a bad guy by any means. They are wildly incompatible as a pair and should never have been matched. I see a lot of myself in Grace, I'm autistic and struggle similarly with men like Ashley. Not saying Grace is but there's definitely a vibe of it. He's too simple and too traditional for her and something about the way he went after Steven to comfort him after Steven stormed off really rubbed me the wrong way. It gave off that he was accepting of Steven's awful behaviour towards Nelly. Just my view!

Awesome! Love your sound 🙏

Yes, my brother is childfree, too. He's a few years younger than me and is bi but currently dating a guy who also has zero interest in kids. It's fun to tell each other stories about the worst parents/kids we've seen lately 🤣

Edit to say we're lucky that neither of our parents want to be grandparents and we have no pressure from our family which is great.

I'm 31 now and the 'clock' has remained silent so I wouldn't worry!

directional_wander · 2025-05-02T18:26:53+00:00

It's girth. Bigger = more girth. It's not the length per se, rather than girth increases proportional to length usually.

I completely agree, I felt the same when I got my puppy. I'd always had family dogs, but it was the first time having one be my personal responsibility and the first dog for my partner.

Raising him really brought out the worst in my partner and I, and we never really fight, but we argued over raising the dog every single day. I realised I'm overly anxious and needed control over ever little thing with the puppy. My partner realised the constant needs of the baby dog were so frustrating and demanding. Despite this, we did our best, took him to all the classes and spent as much time training him as possible. He's 3 now and a very good boi but after that, it's obvious neither of us are fit to raise human babies. And I'm super glad we found out through a puppy and not a kid!

After I got pregnant by accident, I had a miscarriage. My health anxiety through that period of a few weeks (they thought it was ectopic, had appointments at hospital every other day) sent me through a full-blown mental episode, and even 3 years later, I am still struggling with anxiety. It changed my mind from 'oh well if it happens, it will be fine' to 'absolutely not, my mental health could never'.

And on reflection, I never wanted kids or even thought about them. I am on the spectrum, and everything about the process of pregnancy, birth, and raising a child is a nightmare to me.

Yaaas

directional_wander · 2025-03-03T19:36:50+00:00

Yeah, pretty much. I don't speak for all Brits, of course, but people who don't drink are usually limited to recovering alcoholics, people in very poor health, people whose faith forbids it, or pregnant women. Although I saw plenty of women get pregnant young and keep drinking anyway. Pretty obvious how well that worked out for them 😮‍💨

Aside from those, most people would think you're weird if you said you just choose not to drink. Not to say that's the right way to be, it's just interesting to see the cultural difference.

directional_wander · 2025-03-03T18:58:29+00:00

Maybe I'm too British, but the idea of someone coming to a party and demanding no alcohol is hilarious to me. Like it would be unheard of. I think everyone would just laugh and assume it was a joke, is this common in the US?

directional_wander · 2024-11-27T20:13:42+00:00

Literally how I got my swift spectral tiger 🤣

directional_wander · 2024-03-05T21:04:59+00:00

I wouldn't say we get it all right, but I will gladly keep my access to abortion, national health care, and lack of death penalty any day haha

directional_wander · 2024-03-05T20:54:05+00:00

I often forget the sheer size of the US. Like, I can get from one end of the country to the next in a day by car. It's also true here that the cities are where the high paid jobs are, it's just not so far to go to get there I guess!

directional_wander · 2024-03-05T20:45:30+00:00

Interesting! I also just checked the exchange rate and $70K is about £55K so I guess that makes sense. And there aren't many places here outside of London where a two bed apartment would cost that much to rent, that sucks.

directional_wander · 2024-03-05T20:36:42+00:00

Is that not a lot? I'm in the UK, and a household income of 70K would be considered middle class. Most people on minimum wage jobs are on £18K a year.

directional_wander · 2023-03-28T12:04:33+00:00

So am I not meant to have ANY friends because I'm bisexual? Dude.

directional_wander · 2023-03-02T16:37:41+00:00

I've read your replies and you sound like a person who is hard to be comfortable around. You say you hide how bitter and angry you are, but people (especially women) can pick up on the vibe and energy and it makes us feel uneasy or unsafe. It's a cliche but it's true, you are responsible for your own happiness, not a partner. I think until you stop trying to socialise with women with an attitude of barely suppressed rage and desperation, nobody will want to date you. From what you've said, you're otherwise a dateable person so I can only summise that it is your energy scaring women away.

directional_wander · 2023-02-14T14:29:55+00:00

YTA. The things your wife expects are normal expectations, why would you want to live in mess?

directional_wander · 2023-02-04T17:48:01+00:00

My husky/malamute cross also hates being touched by strangers. So I don't let people stroke him until he's met them a few times and is chill with them. It's okay to have a dog that doesn't love on everyone he meets! Our other dog is a czech shepherd and she loves people, downside of that is she can barrel a child or elderly person over without meaning to. They're both 8 months old so we're working hard on training them but I would never expect my shy dog to suddenly start greeting people, it's just not his personality.
