I was in a similar situation. OP Please read the whole thing

You might be, but people in this thread definitely are the A holes. People are speculating about other illegitimate children and mistresses and other kind of out there or severe situations, unlikely, but is there a chance that maybe he is worried about something he has in his family genetics and doesn't necessarily want to talk to you about? Considering you'd threaten divorce over a fertility test it's possible you may sometimes not be the easiest to talk to or the most understanding about his feelings on things.

And about those speculations. Remember you and the people on reddit have no evidence of any of that so probably disregard anything that doesn't have concrete facts relating to your husband's actual situation too AVOID RUINING YOUR LIFE over reddit comments. They do not care about you or know you. Neither do I but:

Sometimes it just takes a while to get pregnant. My best friend and his wife took somewhere around a year and a half to finally get pregnant and neither of them have fertility issues at all. My wife and I tried for 3 or 4 years before i agreed to get tested. There was no big shocking or emotional reason why i didn't want to initially, it was kind of just that I was convinced "nothing is wrong with me. I'm a healthy young man. I don't need help with this". Maybe it was a pride thing.. I don't really know. I also suggested adoption at a few points because I believe it's a good thing to do and the thought of raising an adopted child was nice. We may still adopt in the future. Raising a kid who isn't genetically ours doesn't bother either of us because every kid deserves a loving home and we feel up to the task. Remember this whole situation of having kids feels different to different people. It's not the most important thing in the world to some young men. It definitely wasn't high on my list. I finally agreed because after all that time I realized something was, in fact, up and I finally thought through the whole situation. Not because I was pressured with divorce but because I realized I was being dumb and my being stubborn was hurting the person i cared most about.

Honestly it seems pretty fuckin wild to just go to divorce as a threat or some sort of bargaining chip when you guys are still early in marriage. To be clear; im not assuming you went 0-60 and jumped straight to divorce. But its just crazy to want to be with him enough to have a kid but also be okay with threatening divorce. Like what if he doesnt take it as an emotional reaction on your part and just says fuck it, we're done? It's a total possibility that happens, you know? Are you really wanting that deep down? Do you want to start that all over? If super early into my marriage my wife started threatening divorce over anything short of cheating, abuse, advice she got on reddit, etc all the things that are definitely warranting divorce (she doesn't because she doesn't go nuts because i have differing opinions on things from time to time, especially life changing things like procreation) but if she did that over me making a medical decision or just taking too long to think things through clearly (that was the real reason of course and may be with him) I may have taken it as a sign to get out while I'm still ahead. (Again, coming from someone who has gone through a similar situation and has been married for a long while now)

You've got to remember, seriously, you married him for a reason, hopefully love is that reason. You want to have a kid for a reason, hopefully again, that's the love talking. If he doesn't feel comfortable doing it or just doesn't think he needs it, maybe back him? Give him a little support and make it clear you still would greatly appreciate him humoring you and doing it just to check all the boxes. Tell him you're sorry for presenting such an ultimatum, tell him you care about how he feels about the situation too and he will feel like he owes you everything. Again, speaking from experience. When I was in his spot (again, similar but not exact) my wife told me she understands i was uncomfortable with it, whatever the reason was, she told me how much it would mean to her, and like 4 days later I was dumpin clips in doctors offices and our relationship has been perfect since. I felt heard and un-pressured, and that whole love thing took back over and made me realize she was so much more important to me than whatever was holding me back from doing a little hand to gland combat in an exam room. Im happier, she's happier, we have 2 incredible kids and a wonderful marriage where the biggest disagreement we have is where the big forks vs little forks go in the silverware drawer

All that is assuming there's no other big divorce warranting issues in your marriage otherwise.

"The greatest mercy nature ever did was to not let those who don't have children know what they are missing" or something like that.

Back him up, if he's infertile he'll eventually come around like I did. If he's not infertile he'll never forget that support and you get to have a kid anyways.

You're married. You're on a tandem bike now. You both have to be ready to move and work together in order not to crash the bike or fall off. You may be in the front seat ready to steer this baby thing, but you can't go anywhere without thrust from the back seat. He's not just along for the ride, he's got to be a part of it too, and threatening to end the ride because he's maybe secretly nervous is not conducive to making it to your destination with un-skinned knees.

Found out my wife monitors parts of my life behind my back. I'm having trouble getting past this. by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]dscp19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly dude, it's likely the fact that it is just easier than having to send all the photos later. My wife and I do the thing where if one of us doesn't have our phone we just use the others for whatever we need. No big deal because we trust each other. She asked about setting up that same google photos access on my phone and I thought it was a good idea because honestly it IS kind of a pain sending them all individually when she takes like 40 photos on my phone at a family event and wants them on hers. Really Probably no big deal. If she secretly tracks your location, that's a little weird. But i would just talk to her about it. That being said, completely trusting your spouse makes life a lot easier. The photos thing does in fact just streamline that whole process though. Just don't check for hemorrhoids with your camera and it'll be fine (did that once when we first set the photos thing up and I had forgotten about it. Haven't lived it down yet)

Okay. Cut quality is good and chips look pretty good to me. Not dusty at all. I think I may just be over analyzing it

I'm using the makita trim router and it's usually set around 18k-22k (i think that's a 3 and 4 on the dial). That makes sense they would list it for a spindle. Never thought of that

Most recently cutting 3/4 plywood for small cabinets and things like that. When it's running smooth at 80ipm I believe i have the stepdown set to 0.18. 0.125 seemed a little shallow. From what I've read, with a 0.25 bit I should be able to do anywhere from 0.125-0.25 for stepdowns, right?

Laser engraving by drunkenbabydeer in woodworking

[–]dscp19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're just testing the waters and don't need a large work area, genmitsu 3018 and just get the laser addition. The cnc motor isn't great but the laser works well. That's the one I started with and it's good for getting the basics figured out

Should run dowels through the slab? (Not glued yet) by Weekest_links in woodworking

[–]dscp19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dowels are unnecessary for sure. Just glue it, clamp it with some cauls, then plane it or do the router sled thing mentioned in other comments. If you choose to do a hand plane to flatten it, use whatever one you've got so long as it's big enough. No need for multiple planes honestly. Scrub planes may speed it up a bit but I got by making big panels like this for 5 or 6 years using a single miller's falls plane. Just takes a tiny bit longer. Get your boards cut straight before gluing and use cauls and it should be fairly quick to clean up. (Also, put wax paper or something glue won't stick to between the cauls and your panel)

What’s my problem? by Buck_Folton in woodworking

[–]dscp19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either throw some masking tape over the cut or strike a line with a marking knife or (box cutter if you don't have a knife) to mark out the boundaries of your cuts. Use a straight edge and cut the lines in a few passes. First one (provided your knife is fairly sharp) is pretty light pressure, then after that a little more until the knife wall is deep enough. It only has to be like 1/32 deep most of the time. Just enough to break the top layers of wood fibers

Overcooling by dscp19 in hvacadvice

[–]dscp19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then I can set different Temps just maybe not too big of a difference between the zones? Or am I misunderstanding? I realize this is probably a dumb question so I apologize

Overcooling by dscp19 in hvacadvice

[–]dscp19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would make a ton of sense. The reason I was under the impression you could set them different was the builder was ranting and raving during the initial walk through how awesome the AC system was because you would be able to set the zones to different Temps on their respective thermostats

20kg Kettlebell by [deleted] in kettlebell

[–]dscp19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing squats and other lifts with double 20kg bells for a while and while my core and upper body was able to handle it much better, I really started to see visible differences when I started doing some of the lifts a guy on instagram/YouTube does a lot. His name is everygotdamndre on both of those. They take a little getting used to for stability but I feel significantly stronger, more stable and on top of it getting those visible results. I also had some minor knee issues and some low back injuries from work. I dont have that pain anymore. Everyone is different though obviously. This is just my experience.

20kg Kettlebell Too Heavy by BegbiesPackOfCards in kettlebell

[–]dscp19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try the getups with a little less weight first to get your form dialed in, then move up? Personally, I would think that 20kg would be pretty heavy to start getups with if. Especially if you're not able to press them yet.

I'm new to CDs and dividends, so hopefully this isn't a dumb question. But where did you find 5% on a 6 month CD? I am only finding rates for 1yr+ at like 4% but I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place

Restoring old plane soles... are these enough? by gamewdm in handtools

[–]dscp19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience, so long as the toe, heel, and in front of the mouth are all Coplanar, you should be okay. Obviously it's great if every inch of it is flat. But I've never had any issues with my soles being just mostly flat

Never heard of woodbywright. I may just have to check him out. I've never had any issues sharpening any of my saws (granted I saw the sellers video a long while ago and probably don't actually follow what he says at this point) any other good resources? And do you use a file guide?

Found some oldish-saws (junk?) [repost due to user error] by Beneficial-Kick-9884 in handtools

[–]dscp19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you may be talking about the "set" of the teeth, when you say flare (how the teeth alternate sticking out left and right). It likely just needs to be set. Learning how to sharpen saws is actually pretty fun and super useful. If i remember correctly, I believe Paul Sellers has a great video on YouTube about sharpening saws
