I'd say you're welcome but I'm sorry that dude exists. He's a real fuggo, inside and out.

Big plans over here, I'm taking over bedtime for my husband so he can do meetings with some of his employees in another country. I'm considering throwing out our dinner plans (just a normal instant pot meal) for something fancier, I haven't decided. He got me some of my favorite candy plus an apron I've been eyeballing (I've taken up sourdough baking recently), and I got him a caliper for his 3-D printer. We're on year 19 together and it shows LOL.

The dream. We're gonna do this in March when both work and family obligations slow down. We're also taking the whole family to an indoor water park to blow off some steam.

I agree. What’s even crazier is there’s a bunch of dudes out here like him. Always playing the blame game instead of holding themselves accountable for their own actions.

Y’all got it goin on, agzg. That’s good stuff. 19 years is a very long time. That’s compatibility right there.

Alright y’all, so here’s the verdict. My friend I told y’all about who was giving her dude a Valentine’s gift that included a positive paternity test…. I hadn’t heard from her so I text her to see if dude was happy. She replied back and said he was surprised but wasn’t expecting it, and he didn’t seem happy at all. I told her I knew this was going to happen with his reaction. She said they went out to eat for the holiday and he was pretty quiet the whole time. She said he wasn’t present. His body was but his mind wasn’t there. When she asked him why he wasn’t happy, she told me he just said he doesn’t think they’re ready for this right now. She said he only ate a few bites of his food. What’d y’all think? I told you I’d keep y’all posted. I figured this would be the outcome though.

I can't say I'm surprised. She's had time to process and come to terms with what happened, but this was an immense surprise for him. If they decided to keep the child, it will mean a whole lot of lifestyle changes and stress for both of them.

I’m not sure if I’ve asked you or not, but how did you and your wife meet?

I've always thought that physical attraction can open a door, but a person's personality and character can make you stay in the room. That's why most of the people I see online screaming about dating politics and what a person should or shouldn't do look like caricatures to me.

We met in the US while she was on a homestay. I eventually moved in the same house as her, and we dated after a month or so of being in the same house/friends for a few months.

I picked up some great desserts from a place called Tony Cannoli and he cooked us steaks. I introduced him to my favorite chocolate wine. We exchanged gifts- I gave him a gift certificate so he could pick out a candlelight concert to attend. I am NOT engaged- he gave me a beautiful lapis lazuli stone ring, a beautiful locket that we agreed we would put a picture of us from one of my sorority formals into, and a really cute candle that smells like vanilla and looks like a tree trunk/branches with "My Name + His Name" carved into it. So cute It was the first time in ages we didn't have to get up early so we talked until 3 am before we finally fell asleep. Saturday, we were meeting his mom and sister in East Lansing for dinner and to see MJ the Musical at Wharton Center. We drove home in an ice storm and that was pretty anxiety inducing. There was icy fog that kept icing over the windshield. We had the heat turned way up and blowing on the windshield and he was using a lot of washer fluid to keep the ice from building up and blocking his vision. We had to stop a couple times to refill his washer fluid. It was nerve wracking.

We didn't get back to his house until almost midnight.I woke up this morning and got ready to leave. I remote started my car because it had snow on it and then the ice from the night before and then more snow. He came to see how I was doing with getting ready to go and to ask if he could help with anything. I asked him to pack my keto snacks from the fridge and told him I remote started the car so it could start to melt. He opened the blinds and showed me that my car was already cleaned off. THAT is what I love about this man. That was so incredibly thoughtful. He's so kind to me. I had to time my drive home between the major snow squalls and thankfully my drive home was uneventful.



I think it's just about the only way to get the attention of the men who think women shouldn't have bodily autonomy.

P.S. He also had a dozen roses delivered to me on Wednesday so I could enjoy them since he knew I'd be gone for the weekend with him.

Would y’all just go on ahead and get married LOL!

This is good stuff, AGDee. I’m glad y’all enjoyed each other this holiday season. Do y’all get together every weekend or during the week too?

I don’t know dude, but based on what she’s been telling me, I don’t think he wants that baby anymore than I want one. They’ve only been together two years. I think that dude is cool with just a relationship so he can get consistent ass. That what that’s about.

Those chicks aren’t getting dudes attention because they’ll just go to other chicks. And even those chicks, dudes that are smooth talkers can still get them to give in. There’s all kinds of separation movements going on now. Y’all ever heard of Monk Mode?
