Let's peek in on /r/childfree and see how they've been doing. Why the gently caress is 'bring your kid to work' day appropriate? quote:So I just got an e-mail stating that next Thursday is going to be "Take our Daughters & Sons to Work Day". I love the implication that they actually did ask if they can bring her dog to work, and someone objected. "When you have babies, know that other people who are done with babies don't want you bringing your babies around." quote:-My Dad. In a restaurant this weekend where we moved tables because a baby was screaming. You realize he was talking about you, right? Because Sharing This Outside Of Here Would Go Poorly quote:Ah yes, the hypothetical Any other angry soap opera fans here that there has never really been a CF woman on a soap? quote:Just a small rant I thought of while setting here watching Y&R. There has never been a female childfree by choice character on a soap opera. That really pisses me off. Because, soaps have begun to incorporate progressive storylines in the past 20 years. Like Stone having AIDS on GH and gay characters on AMC, OLTL, and GH. "Why are these GAYS allowed on my soap operas but not a woman bitter and angry about not wanting children?! "

MF_James posted:What, the suicide/depression? I can see that, it's none of her business, especially since his actual daughter does not feel comfortable with the stepmom. If you mean in general? I'm sure there were plenty, but the fact that he was likely lonely as gently caress will allow him to ignore/overlook a lot of stuff so he doesn't have to deal with crippling loneliness anymore. I was referring to the depression/suicide thing. Clearly the step daughter hasn't really ever liked the step-mom so I get why she didn't want to talk about it much with her. To me at least it just seems like something that would come up in some fashion during the whole getting to know the family you're creating phase of things? I know the OP is older, which makes it less of a thing that NEEDS to be brought up since she's managing fine on her own at this point...but it you'd think at the very least they've discussed the fact that his wife died and you'd think a basic "my daughter took it really hard for a period of time but is better now" would have been mentioned? Maybe I'm just too used to functioning communication in relationships/families because I have a really hard time figuring out how some of these people don't talk about things.

Fullhouse posted:there is exactly one mentally unstable person in that story and it isn't the OP What always amazes me in those stories is the family members just relaying the information without comment. ''Yeah my lovely new wife wants to cut you, my only daughter, out of my life.'' Okay....and? You're just saying that? Like if I was in his spot I'd ask for a divorce immediately and probably not even tell my daughter what the wife said because who gives a poo poo, she's nuts.

''Yeah my lovely new wife wants to cut you, my only daughter, out of my life.'' Yeah, that part is baffling. Like how is that just a statement? She's asking what she can do about it, she needs to just ask her dad what he's going to do about it.

ravenkult posted:What always amazes me in those stories is the family members just relaying the information without comment. ''Yeah my lovely new wife wants to cut you, my only daughter, out of my life.'' ime a lot of men* have a very hard time being alone, alone in the sense of not having a romantic partner. i think a lot of that is that men aren't really taught how to have any sort of vulnerable intimate connection in any sort of relationship but a romantic one. a lot of times a guy's friends are really basically just drinking buddies or work acquaintances, because our culture teaches boys that emotions aren't okay to show or really admit to having. the one exception to this is with a romantic partner, and without that, it gets very lonely for them very quickly. this dad sounds like he is desperately clinging to this woman and ignoring her massive faults for this reason *apparently i have to have this disclaimer that this is based on my experiences talking with men who are willing to open up about this sort of stuff, and talking to women who's SOs have expressed these sorts of things because last time a bunch of people freaked out when i said things like this lol

When I talk to my colleague (who's sitting next to me), he would interrupt us and ask him something about work and when my colleague asks him "Did you want something from me?", he replied "Why would I want something from you?". This happened 3 times. He sometimes talks about topics I like. he sometimes talks about topics i like! this is surely a sign, right???

Late, but I'm going to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and say he needs to figure out he doesn't have play caretaker brother anymore. My bet is on the parents having him royally hosed and it being time to move on.

But these guys that are remarrying are doing so with single women, who presumably would rather be in a relationship than be single.

I [23F] do not want to have to pay for two of my fiancé's [29M] relatives [40sF, 70sF] to attend our wedding.quote:My lovely, kind fiancé (let's call him Luke) and I will be getting married next year, and we will be inviting all members of our families to the wedding. He has two relatives on his mother's side of the family - his aunt Maureen and his grandmother Shirley who of course will be invited. I am very happy for them to attend, as they are nice and I get along with them, but I am very irritated that Luke and are expected to pay for them to attend.

My best friend broke up with his long term (3+ years) girlfriend a month or two ago, and dude is still breaking down crying over it, despite it being an amicable dissolution of the relationship. I suspect a part of it is they live in the same building, and still go out for dinner. The guy just cannot NOT be in a relationship. And he's only 27.

There are a couple other factors with post divorce people. Women are more likely to have custody of kids which affects dating/remarriage compared to a man paying child support and seeing his kids every other weekend. Women are also more likely to be victims of domestic violence and it would make perfect sense if they were more averse to risking marriage with another Abusive guy. But the lonely man theory is definitely interesting and explains a lot.

take your kid to work day was cool for me* *Airlines don't have that, but my father was a pilot so I got to ride jumpseat in the cockpit, or if i was flying with my mom I'd sit in first class and live like a king! Ahhh the 90s and early 00s were a good time to fly.

purple death ray posted:The very early 00s I'm assuming even after 9/11 it wasn't too bad, actually sometimes it was better because even less people than usual were flying. As the later 2000s hit, first class started selling out all the time and I didn't get to ride up there as much. I really miss flying to europe for $18 and getting hammered on the plane in 1st class comfort.
