Like most online communities Childfree is just an excuse to circlejerk and 1 up each about a specific topic a bunch of people kind of agree on, and thus certain people take it to extremes to try fit in. Even more than R/relationships or r/incels or any of those i doubt the stories told there are wholly truthful rather than just extremely embellished or entirely fabricated for upvotes due to being the most "rage inducing" or whatever.

I actually get that mindset quite well as it's pretty common in IT to talk to other IT guys who are all going at it to come up with the story of the "worst" client possible, hell even reddit has a forum for that in /r/talesfromtechsupport




Anyway gently caress having kids, im way too poor for that and my poor girlfriend doesnt need or want to go through with it.

I don't have children.

Anymore.

Anyway, here's another dumdum:

Me[18F] with my BF [18M] of a couple weeks, said I "should go running", while we were intimate and I was naked. Relationships

quote:

23 points 34 comments submitted 3 years ago by throwawayyy7890 to r/relationships

So I've been dating this guy for a only a week or so, but we've been close friends for almost a year now. The other day, we were getting intimate (use your imagination). When we were almost done, he told me that I "should go running." I asked him why and he said "Because it's good for you."

I know there is the possibility of him meaning it in the most nonoffensive way, as in, running is good for your overall health. However, he said this while I was completely naked. So I think the only reason why that came to his head was because he thinks I'm fat.

I don't think I'm too fat. I'm around 5'9 and weight roughly 166 pounds. He's not the most fit guy either. Should I be offended or am I taking this the wrong way? I know that if I don't want to be called fat I should take the initiative to lose weight. However, I felt comfortable with the way I look, but now I feel insecure.

tl;dr: While I was naked, boyfriend said I should "go running" aka he called me fat.

The breeders have already hosed us. Humanity will be dead in a couple generations. The Earth grows hotter every single year but we just keep using more and more CO2. Every child exacerbates the issue. Even if half the humans died tomorrow we would still have a runway greenhouse gas effect. Instead everyone will try their hardest to at least replace themselves and then some. Everyone thinks their children are special so when the Earth starts to flood and the displaced seek refuge everyone will start killing each other to protect "their children". Not having children does more for the future of humanity than any possible thing your crotch fruit will ever accomplish. Their lives are going to suck and then they will die painfully just like the rest of us.

Seriously. Don't do it. If parenthood doesn't excite you find something that does.

I found the one where polyamory is the least of their problems:

I [25F] am thinking about running away from my husband [32] whom I love, for his own benefit. We've been married 6 years and our lives are hosed. Breakups

quote:

18 points 39 comments submitted 3 years ago by RunawayMarriage to r/relationships
I'm an American living in Australia. I have a permanent residency visa. I've been married to an Australian man for 6+ years, am very much in love with him, and am thinking about leaving him for his own well being.

I have serious mental health problems, have been unable to find work in 6 years, am an extreme fetishist (while he is very vanilla, and thusly sex is incredibly strained and awkward). I have incredibly loose morals while he does not. Examples: I steal, am an excellent lier (though I don't lie to him) I'm a polyamourous pansexual, have had 10x the amount of sex partners he has, am an extreme sexual sadist (I don't express this towards him). I'm goth, atheist, don't want children, am fine selling myself for money, I'm bitter and angry and incredibly disillusioned with humans. I keep bringing pets home, and I don't keep the house as tidy as he thinks it needs to be. I'm suicidal and while I don't self harm, I self negelect.

I'm a loving handful for a HS teacher in his early thirties who wants to have a stable financial life and a handful of kids. And normal and semi-regular sex. We have over $70K of debt just from paying our bills. We don't live above our means in that we have a fancy home or cars (we have a cheap, poo poo car and the cheapest apartment we can afford). We don't go out to eat or buy expensive food. We see a cheap movie at the cinemas occasionally, but that's about all the money we spend on entertainment. We don't own expensive electronics or blow any money on drugs or booze. We don't smoke or eat tons of junk food, but we are in debt because I can't find a job.

So I'm thinking of running away from him. I loving love him so god damned much, but I am destroying his life. I know he will be sad and wrecked by my departure, but he'll get over it. He'll find someone his own age to marry, someone that has a job, someone that wants babies and sex and cleans his house to his satisfaction and he'll be okay.

Brisbane is a decent sized city with tons of backpackers. I can easily pack a bag and become a street walking homeless person. I am good at stealing things I need and don't care about sleeping on the street. It never dips below freezing here. I could also become a rent-girl as there is a large fettish community in Brisbane. I don't care about selling myself for money. I hate sex so doing it for money just seems more practical.

I believe staying with my husband is destroying his life. I need to leave him so he can make it better, but he refuses to divorce me. He told me last night that "we were meant to be together". This is wishy-washy BS and me being in his life is killing him. He doesn't deserve my bull poo poo.

tl;dr: I'm an American living in Australia. I've been married to an Australian man for 6+ years, am very much in love with him, and am thinking about leaving him for his own well being. He refuses to divorce me so I need to leave him so he can have a better life. Weather he likes it or not.

:cripes:

this lady has so many hosed up problems and perceptions wrt sex

she needs to seek therapy maybe before running out on her husband "for his own good". I don't disagree with her assessment, but it's pretty clear he's willing to haul through her bullshit. Is self improvement and therapy really harder than living in homeless shelters and having sex with strangers for a living?
