My colleagues are so fuckin stupid and I don’t know whether to blame them individually or blame Society™
Me: you see a relationship needs to be mutually beneficial. If you’re both not getting something you want it’s a bad relationship.
47 y/o man with 3 kids:
Real conversation I had with my dad
Me: I don’t personally understand the desire to have children, or why do many feel like failures when they’re unable to
Dad: (in that voice that indicates he thinks he’s about to drop some real Knowledge™️ on me) well you have to understand; if you reach a certain age and don’t have children, people will look at you weirdly. Nobody wants that
Me: …You’re saying you were peer pressured into having a baby? Like you were afraid of being “the weird kid” except you were a grown man with a job? Do you think that’s a good thing?
apparently at some point when my now-girlfriend and i were flirting with each other but not quite in a relationship, she asked me how i felt about pet names, to which i replied “well you have to call them something”
