  • I don’t even think the colleague is a dick. OP doesn’t like kids so they wouldn’t want to do this, no problem. Colleage has kids and wants to meet up but has to bring kids, that doesn’t make them a dick. It’s just their circumstance at the moment. I have kids, if I want to go out with friends I either make sure they are OK with it or find someone to watch them. If a friend reached out to me and wants to hang out but I have nobody to watch the kids then I’m not a dick for saying if you want to then I have to bring the kids.

    You always have the right to say no. It doesn’t make anyone a dick.




  • I put my girl down a year and a half ago. She was an eight year old rottie that loved life, Loved kids and loved me. She had cancer growing in her brain/snout that was making her angry, agitated and a danger to others. Could I have waited a month or two longer? Maybe, but she wasn’t happy anymore so it was time. I paid for an autopsy because I wanted to know, the cancer was everywhere in her skull/ muzzle taking up 1/5th the brain cavity.

    Holding onto her for longer was unfair to the years of happiness she gave me. In the end I couldn’t be selfish and had to let her go. So maybe try that route with your wife? It was the hardest decision I ever made and I cried all the way to the vet and thought about turning around a couple of times.

    @op, you say you like to present occasionally differing opinions to open up discussion and differing ideas. According to the log this user posted you don’t open up avenues for discussion. You insult and generally look like you are trolling.

    If you want to open up discussion ask questions








  • I’ve thankfully been in a relationship for over a year. But when I was looking the dead ending the conversation was huge for me, I’d say a third of the matches did it. I used the 3 strikes rule, because sometimes people are busy and they just want to respond but don’t have time to continue the flow of the conversation. Which is fine.

    I once has a girl follow up 2 weeks later asking why we didn’t go on a date? I told her that was the first question she asked me and I felt she wasn’t into the conversation.

    Don’t be so desperate to get into a relationship that you try to carry the whole thing on your shoulders.
