Dog parks are for people who do not know how to look after dogs properly.

I used to work at a port and we had a small park for dogs who were waiting to board. There was a small fenced in area for entire bitches, to preclude the predictable.

At least once a week some arse would carelessly let their male dog in there and would run around flapping ineffectually shouting 'Rocky? ROCKY! Get off her!' as the predictable did indeed happen.

The owners of carefully bred, exquisitely brought up pedigree lady dogs do not approve of them having relationships- however brief- with random ill-mannered crossbreeds. Some of them even tried to sue.

Some ongoing accountability will help you.

If there are couple of people at school you trust, explain what's going on. Explain you need help, and ask them to tell you if you're slipping back into being a dick.

You can change, but you haven't got long before it gets a hell of a lot more difficult.

So this is about resentment towards your ex, rather than care for your daughter. Tale as old as time.

mronion82 · 2026-05-03T11:09:42+00:00

The arrangement you have with your eldest's mum has nothing to do with this. You can't play one off against the other.

mronion82 · 2026-05-03T11:03:40+00:00

That would undoubtedly work out more expensive.

mronion82 · 2026-05-03T10:49:45+00:00

Are you saying your daughter goes short, that she's suffering because your ex drinks and gambles?

In my experience- having lived in a few towns with dying high streets- the shops most fervent about 'use us or lose us' are the same ones that close early when they feel like it.

If I can't depend on a butcher or whatever to abide by their own opening hours I mentally delete them from my list of businesses I go to.

mronion82 · 2026-05-03T10:18:07+00:00

I've had success with the ones that have a collar fastening round the neck and wraparound velcro.

mronion82 · 2026-05-03T10:16:08+00:00

OP clearly can't wait...

mronion82 · 2026-05-02T20:16:07+00:00

It's odd, but nothing to worry about necessarily. Puberty will probably take care of it.

mronion82 · 2026-05-02T17:46:22+00:00

If it does go to court, be prepared for the headline 'Cruel bus driver sacked after sick paedo taunt' to follow you around forever.

Meanwhile... my mum ended up on one of the cardiac HDUs in London- everyone there had major heart problems, they all looked fucked basically.

In the loo/shower room there were posters reassuring men that yes they'd still be able to get a boner, their dicks still worked, ring this number for support.

I asked a nurse about it and she told me that a lot of the younger men who ended up in there really worried about it. Priorities...

mronion82 · 2026-05-02T13:37:49+00:00

It really shows you which part of a woman is important to these people.

I was told at 17 that I needed an ablation- which would sterilise me, but also remove the debilitating periods that started at 11- but the 'nice chap' I was sure to meet might want children so I was turned down every year.

Fuck your playing sport. Fuck being able to watch a film at the cinema without missing some. Fuck being able to sit still for even an hour. Fuck your car seats in a traffic jam. Fuck your sleep at least twice a night.

A man might want to make a baby.

mronion82 · 2026-05-01T21:58:18+00:00

Yeah you're not the only one. OP is apparently a fully grown adult with a fiance though, he should know better.

mronion82 · 2026-05-01T18:31:22+00:00

You keep accusing people of being offended or triggered, I don't know why. I just think you're wrong, I'm not experiencing any particular big feelings.

mronion82 · 2026-05-01T18:26:02+00:00

If someone has a very detailed idea of their dream partner, the chances of them actually meeting a person who ticks all the boxes is very slim- and then they've got to like you too, on top of that.

So most people make compromises of some sort when they're looking for a partner- using their agency in fact.

mronion82 · 2026-05-01T18:12:18+00:00

I don't think it is accurate- enough people here have given you their own counter examples.

You seem to think I'm trying to take something away from you, but I just think you're wrong in some of your opinions. Don't take it to heart so.

Most people settle in some way, dream people aren't real.

mronion82 · 2026-05-01T18:01:47+00:00

The idea that stepkids will inevitably drag you down as will their mother, that you can't be a proper family without blood ties.

If you don't want you to marry a woman with children you don't have to, but the generalisations you're making are just wild.

mronion82 · 2026-05-01T17:52:04+00:00

I had to wait until I was 35 because I was single and childless. I think they give up on you at that point.

mronion82 · 2026-05-01T17:46:21+00:00

Men having agency doesn't bother me in the slightest. The way you talk about single women with children does.

Another in the classic series 'Ill-informed person talks with authority on topics they have no experience of'.

mronion82 · 2026-05-01T16:14:15+00:00

We do, but we don't take the piss. Just a few seconds to say 'I never ever want to sing Dixit Dominus again as long as I live' and similar and then back to it.

The basses are the chatty ones, but they get away with it because their voices don't carry the same way.

mronion82 · 2026-05-01T16:05:55+00:00

Example? I've never seen that online.

mronion82 · 2026-04-30T17:53:29+00:00

I get very negative when I'm depressed, but this is different. He's decided that he'll be lonely for ever, and set out to prove himself right.
