would you marry someone with a wooden leg, who lives on a tall ship and their BFF is a parrot?

I did this! We’ve had to replace the leg and the parrot will outlive us both, but we’re mateys for life

Are you prone to seasickness? If so, I recommend sea bands and maybe some EMDR therapy.

Fish allergies? Full allergy tests needed.

Home school future DC and start a nomadic lifestyle blog and be a FT content creator and upload on YouTube and Instagram.

Life vests all the time, OP. Insist on this or no deal.

Is your name Keira? If so I predict that this relationship won't last.

I didn't know Long John Silver was still alive.

Is this a port in the western bay?
Are you in a harbor town?
Does he bring gifts from far away? Silver perhaps? From the north of Spain?

You’re a fine girl, and what a good wife you would be.

He’s probably an honest man but I feel like his life, his lover and lady is the sea.

I fear you will find yourself at night when the bars close down, walking through a silent town, loving a man who's not around.

You've all given me a lot to think about. Thanks mateys. I guess I am leaning toward divorce even though we're not even married, but I also know that as a 28 year old it's going to be hard to find anyone of good stock who is still available for their first marriage

Maybe the parrot and I will run off together.

This post...is brilliant. Perfect song to advise this OP.

But on the other, he has a wooden leg and I worry sometimes about it catching on fire, plus what if we get a dog and the dog chews it up. Sometimes the "thunk, thunk, thunk" of him walking around makes me want to set it on fire, but I think I can get that under control with therapy.

Also, he doesn't live in a SFH in a close in suburb, or even a lovely townhome. He lives on a tall ship. There's plenty of room for me on it too but I worry about school districts. We can move it anywhere, really, but are any good schools in close distance to a marina in the DMV? I don't think we can afford private on his salary.


Get him an artificial limb and let parrot home school kids. This lifestyle should be a great hook for standing out in Ivy applicant pool compared to any high achiever from any public school.

Write a book, start social media accounts, may be an apparel line, ideal lifestyle to make money. Even sea retreats for gullible.

Trying to problem solve here.


No, don't get a cat! The cat will claw up his wooden leg and eat the parrot.

Does he make recalcitrant sailors walk the plank? This can be a red flag for abuse!

You know this will be an IN in the top universities.

Also he sounds hot if he bathes. The bathing thing is important.

Scurvy is no joke, OP. Ensure ample supplies of fresh citrus on board your floating home if you marry him. This reminds me--how's his health insurance? He's self-employed, right? Be sure the gold can cover a good life insurance policy too. You'll want him to have accidental death and dismemberment coverage for sure.

He owns a yacht and you can vacation all the time in the Carribean.

Also, he will gift you with gold jewelry, and not that dainty budget-friendly Mejuri crap, either.

This is OP and I hope you work in sales, because you sold me on this guy. I was ready to turn him into the FBI a minute ago and just run off with the parrot but your post made me change my mind. Now I'd better get him to commit because lord knows I am NOT moving onto his tall ship until there's a ring on this finger.

My friend was in a similar situation.
Found out the rascal was hiding money from her! Burying it! She found a map with an ‘X’ marked on it, sure enough, a bunch of gold and jewelry she never knew he had.

He ended up getting syphilis from a bar wench and as far as I know is currently hanging in a gibbet in Tortola
