[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just going to post in response to OP’s comment about maturity - that it’s actually exceedingly mature to recognize one’s lack of desire for kids and be up front and open about it.

This world is full of selfish people and people doing what everyone else is doing without giving any actual considered thought to whether parenting is something they actually want and are actually up to the bar to perform in that role. The evidence of that selfish thoughtlessness is all around us, in the wreckage of so many lives that started in being born to reluctant or emotionally immature parents who are mired in their own problems and are never actually capable of bringing anything close to an A game to the role of parenting.

[b]Your husband has been courageous enough to be honest.[/b] If you cannot grasp the maturity in that, you have issues of your own and maybe you need to spend some time looking at those.[/quote]

This is hilarious.  Lying to a woman in order to get her to marry you and stay with you for ten years while you're both broke and fertile, and then on the eve of creating those children you assured her you wanted throwing "well I don't want that but if you do, I'll do it *for you*" so that he can give himself permission to check out of the responsibilities that come with parenting, is now courageous enough to be honest?

The bar for men is really underground.  Lie for a decade, waste a woman's fertility, then get a ticker tape parade on the internet for your bravery and honesty for not lying anymore when it's too late for her to have the life you literally promised her.  Amazing.[/quote]
