No couple should have children, because what if they get divorced? They should know better than to make unnecessary ties to their spouse.

as this story is overall there is least one person who knows what's up:

My [16F] boyfriend [17m] got into a physical fight with my dad [58m]. Don�t know what I should do? We�ve been together a year.

quote:

Reposted because I broke a rule apparently

Bf and I have been together just over a year.

I think the title probably sounds pretty bad for my bf, but please hear me out before jumping to any conclusions?

So, my parents are very conservative, and have always had a rule that I�m not allowed to date or really even be friends with boys until I�m ready to settle down into marriage.

I disagree with it and think it�s stupid, but I figured I would just go along with it until I move out. But then a new boy moved into my neighborhood and started going to my school last year. He�s a year ahead of me, but we shared quite a few classes and really hit it off.

I won�t waste time on the details. He was cute, smart and funny, and I fell hard. I�m still just as smitten with him now as I was a year ago.

I thought I would try to be honest with my dad at first. I alluded to meeting a boy and was hoping he would be agreeable to letting me and him go on an �official� date. It didn�t happen though. As soon as I started talking about wanting to spend time with a boy, dad shut me down, hard. He told me that I am absolutely not allowed to date and if he found out I was seeing a boy, I wouldn�t be allowed to spend any time outside of the house or school.

But, being stubborn, I still saw the bf. Our �dates� are meeting at football games and sneaking off to grab dinner together before the game is over, sitting together at lunch, and more recently, sneaking out the window at night to spend a little time together.

I know sneaking out isn�t a good thing, but, dad left me with no reasonable alternative. Time with the bf is the happiest in my life, and Im going to chase that. And we aren�t doing anything crazy. We aren�t having sex in his car or doing drugs or whatever else. Most nights we�re just cuddling and grabbing a burger or something.

And as much as I think my dad believes otherwise, my bf is not �trouble�. He�s a normal guy who makes decent grades, doesn�t get in trouble, and has a job.

So, anyway, last night the bf texted late asking if I wanted to slip out and go to Sonic. That sounded fun and I�ve been stressed about school so I thought a little cuddle time would be great. I slipped out the window and bf picked me up in his car and we went and hung out for maybe an hour and a half.

It was a really nice time and I was in a good mood as he drove me back to my place. Until we turned the corner and saw my dad sitting in the front yard in a lawn chair.

Both of our hearts just sank. I told bf he could just drop me off and flee, but he said he didn�t want me having to go face dad alone, so he parked on the street and walked up the driveway with me.

Dad was absolutely enraged and when I tried to start saying something he smacked me.

It wasn�t too hard and I don�t think he really even meant to make contact, but the next thing I knew my bf was between us and was absolutely screaming in my dad�s face that he can�t do that. Bf used a lot of profanity in anger that I�m sure didn�t help deescalate the situation.

Dad yelled some stuff back that I didn�t even really hear, but dad just pushed him out of the way (Dad�s 6�2� and broad, my boyfriend, as spirited as he is, is not a big man). Dad pushed him out of the way and grabbed me by the arm to take me inside, bf told him he needed to let go. Dad told him to leave, and bf reared back and slugged him in the face. I don�t think dad hardly felt it at all, but he did let go of my arm.

Dad started saying he was going to call the police, bf said that dad had smacked me first, so �please call the f****** police�.

I just wanted the whole thing to end without anyone getting hurt, so l begged my bf just to leave and go home. He did, with my dad yelling at him that if he showed up at our house again, dad would kill him.

Dad�s been on a war path ever since. He told me I�m pretty much grounded forever, and he says he is nailing my window shut today while I�m at school, and also will put a tracking app on my phone. I also have to go start spending evenings at church at least three nights a week. The thought of not seeing my bf again makes me want to die, but I really don�t know how to get around any of that, and dad may not have been joking when he said he would kill my boyfriend if he came back here.

Moreover, when I sat down with the bf in The cafeteria before class this morning, bf told me he wants to call the police over dad hitting me. I asked him not to because I think it is just as likely my boyfriend will wind up being the one arrested, and I really don�t want to add fuel to this dumpster fire. Bf promises he won�t call the police as long as I ask him not to, but also said I should really think about letting him do it.

I wish I could just take last night back. Like, there�s no way I�ll be able to see my bf now, but I can�t not see him. Or my girlfriends. It�s the only damned time I�m happy these days. Bf is the only one I have right now that I can safely talk to about not wanting to live at home anymore, (secretly) not being Christian anymore, about planning up and leave the state once I graduate.

But I don�t want to be responsible for my boyfriend getting hurt by my dad. Part of my wants to tell bf to just stay away for his own good, but the other part of me would never let me follow through with that.

What do I do now?

tl;dr: dad caught my boyfriend and I sneaking out. My boyfriend bucked up after dad slapped me, and it lead to a fight. Don�t know what to do about any of this?

Also reddit is screaming at her that dad is abusive.

What if they get divorced, as is common in couples of all stripes? Do people have no connections beyond blood? Greaaaattt

What if they get divorced? Legally the child will be the responsibility of both women regardless of whose sperm they used and who carries the baby. The possibility of divorce has absolutely zero relevance on who the sperm donor could or should be.

The only issue that could arise vs another donor is if sister and donor brother have a falling out, but that has legal remedies and if they've fallen out then bringing the legal system into the matter isn't going to make things worse besides the financial hit which shouldn't be significant if they're already spending a big chunk of change going through a clinic that makes sure all the paperwork is in order. I'd trust adult siblings who've known each other their whole lives to be able to make the judgement call as to whether the small chance of a falling out is a risk worth taking for the emotional benefit of doing the donation this way.

Your dad is trash and you will probably go into a deep deep depressive spiral due to your father's actions in shutting your social life down. He will then blame you for that as well.

Yeah, like you were really quick to defend your dad. Has he struck you before? Tried to strike you? I don't think you can say "It wasn�t too hard and I don�t think he really even meant to make contact". He's a grown rear end man. You don't go through the motions of smacking someone if you don't intend to make contact.
Your dad sounds like a controlling, manipulative, abusive psycho.

My [23M] Dad [50M] is dating someone [49F] whose daughter [21F] is very much interested in me, this is really awkward and unfortunately very much real. Help???

quote:

Ok this poo poo is real, and very embarassing. so my Dad is now dating someone who happens to have a daughter around my age, who after meeting for the first time yesterday apparently thinks I'm gorgeous or alternatively beautiful- or at least that's what my dad told me. I don't know why he would lie, I get enough comments as is.

Suffice to say she's very attractive herself and I'm def attracted to her, I don't really know how to feel about this. Apparently she wants my phone number or something like that, and I'm kind of at a loss for words.

If I did hookup with her, how weird would that be? And how would most people feel about it?

tl;dr: my dad's girlfriend's daughter is around my age, is very attractive, and finds me attractive. She wants my number and to hang out, and I kind of do too, but I'm afraid I'll be pulling a Lannister on my family.

My wife [28f] doesn't let me take care of our kids barely at all. I [28m] feel like such a deadbeat father and don't know how else to get her to see my side?

quote:

We have 4 small children-7 months, 2 year old (twins) and a 4 year old. My wife is very particular about how they're raised, and since she's a stay at home mother and spends the most time with the kids she gets to decide most of the parenting decisions. The problem is, she literally will not trust anybody else to care for her kids-not even me.

If I try to change the baby's diaper- "Let me do it because you'll make a mess". If I try to feed the toddlers, "No. You'll make them choke". Not even considering that I've done all these things before (especially when she had the flu awhile back) but she still doesn't trust me to do any basic duties. A few weeks ago I took the kids to their doctors appointment because she was asleep (I guess she lost track of time) and while waiting in the front office, I got a call. She went off, "Where are the kids! I was suppose to take them to their doctors appointment", and had a whole screaming fit about it.

I've tried asking her why she acts so....controlling (?) all the time about them, and that I know how to care for all the babies, but she always dismisses it and just tells me she can handle everything. I don't know if its just her being a mama, or whatever it is, but I want to find a way to bring it up to her so she'll actually listen. So I can actually start to spend some time and care for my kids myself at times.

tl;dr: Wife doesn't let me care for the kids at all and I'm tired of being a useless father. How can I get her to see my side?

quote:

Me pushing harder has usually made it worse. She attacked me once because I was trying to put the baby to bed and wasn't following the right routine.

They do have friends and go on playdates but not with me. She takes them out, but I never can. She fears for their lives when they're with me

quote:

Ok so a little over a week ago, my girlfriend took a trip to Florida to visit her grandparents. She asked me to pick her up from the airport when she returned two days ago to which I said yes. My friend was having a party the night she was returning and I decided to go to it. I didn't really feel like leaving to pick her up so I texted her saying she needed to find another way home.

She calls around midnight asking where I am and I told her I was at a party and that she would have to find another way home. She screams at me calling me lazy, irresponsible, and selfish. I scream back at her calling her overbearing, annoying, and a dumb c**t.

She hangs up on me and I haven't heard from her since. I feel bad about what I said, but I wouldn't have said it if she didn't insult me first. I refuse to call her first and I'm waiting for her to call and apologize, but is there anything I can do to get her to do so?

tl;dr: Girlfriend needed me to pick her up from the airport, but I was busy and couldn't do so. She calls me insulting me and I insult her back and haven't heard from her since. What can I do to get her to apologize to me?

This girl needs to go into active subversion mode as soon as possible. If she would follow the steps below, her fathers will and heart will break.

1. Her father is deeply conservative. I am willing to bet this girls hair is long. Shaving her head would be a powerful statement.
2. Cut out all pleasant conversation with the father. Yes no answers. Make every bit of information he gathers hard to obtain. When she does feel like talking it should be about some tall handsome guy that is a different race than her own.
3. Create a mini Faraday Cage and keep her phone in it as much as possible.
4. Hide or throw away essential things when the father feels like relaxing. Like throw away the living room TV remote. Keep a stash of dead batteries to replace fresh ones with.
5. Start reading books written by porn stars.
6. Get condoms and leave them in her pockets/purse/car/dresser anywhere they will be found.
7. Secretly obtain her GED and apply to a college.
8. Call the police immediately when he gets physical and run out of the house screaming like he is going to kill you. Hide at a neighbors house until police arrive.
9. Talk to the judge about becoming an emancipated minor.
10. When the man gets to old to take care of himself. Put him in the worst nursing home she can find.

Get a divorce, your wife's brain is super broken and can never be recovered. Eventually she'll turn the children against you by telling them you are trying to kill them through your inept attempts to "get to know them" or "spend time with them".

as an aside, is there anyone in the world who identifies as asexual who is otherwise "neurotypical?" because it always seems to be paired with "beep boop, you will still receive sex as I will lay still to receive your member 2.5 times per week on average" style logic

DragQueenofAngmar: Dec 29, 2009; You shall not pass!

quote:

A: I�m genuinely excited for you, that you�ve been able to arrive at a more fully realized sense of your own identity! That�s wonderful. I encourage you to give your boyfriend space to do the same thing. It�s not a value judgment on you as a person if he decides he would prefer to have a partner who is also sexual, rather than willing to have sex periodically for his sake. It just means the two of you aren�t compatible sexually. He�s not trying to �punish� you by ending your relationship, he�s saying, �What you want out of a relationship and what I want don�t really overlap.� Nor does it mean he didn�t genuinely love you! Sex may not be a crucial part of how you experience love, but it clearly is for your boyfriend. Sexual activity isn�t a lesser or baser form of expressing love, and just as you wouldn�t want your boyfriend to judge you for being asexual, don�t try to diminish his experience by saying he must not really love you, or that he just wants to have sex all the time.

Whether �lots of people� have certain sexual arrangements that work for them in their relationships isn�t the point. The point is that what you want, and what your boyfriend wants, aren�t compatible. The upside is, now that you�re out about your asexuality, you�ll be able to bring that self-knowledge and clarity to future relationships�and that�s not a punishment at all.

Seriously, being asexual is fine

No, seriously, it's not, it's not a real thing and they should be relentlessly mocked and publicly disparaged for acting like they are in any way an oppressed group that deserves any sympathy or understanding.

Just quietly go not gently caress people, you don't matter. And if you dare go into queer spaces and act to be part of our club we should literally chase you out with pitchforks.

ZearothK: Aug 25, 2008; I've lost twice, I've failed twice and I've gotten two dishonorable mentions within 7 weeks. But I keep coming back. I am The Trooper!

THUNDERDOME LOSER 2021

That's a genuinely level-headed response that hopefully the OP should take to heart.

As a sexual person I consider a non-sexual close relationship a thing you should label as "friendship".
