@@NietzscheanMan dude you obviously have no idea how much work babies are. And while you might think you sound reasonable you arnt. Women are actually advised not to exercise for at least six months because of the hormones settling back and breastfeeding and the trauma of child birth. Also the things the womans body goes through in pregnancy and labor are so intense you should just do a quick research you will be shocked. She has two kids that are so small and they need so much effort. While there are women who might be able to manage it they are very few and far in between. If you are gonna refer to Instagram or RU-vid moms then those don't really count. You need to fix the way you think otherwise you are really going to ruin some poor woman's life.

Both parties should be able to bend on their less important requirements in exchange for adherence to most important requirements. She should require marriage in exchange for adherence to a weight standard

@doupnetwork 3 года назад

@Rikki Jo Require marriage is just a possible negotiation technique. But a step dad is def playing a role. He is basically a male role model that has the financial, emotional, physical responsibility of the man that actually had a hand in making the child. Some guys play the role just to get access to the mom and overall F the kids and some really just want access to F the kid(s) and they will humor the mom just to get that chance. I wanted the mom an was ok being a role model but the dynamic is so complicated an full of other men's input because their children are involved. Discipline issues will arise also because most women won't trust a new man to discipline the kid(s) properly and they lose the "I will tell your father" threat. It's just not a good situation to put yourself in if you can help it. "Captain Save em" usually puts the man (or male-role lesbian) in a situation with high risk and little reward an a bunch of these men that play the role don't actually have kids of their own coming in

I can vouch and say it’s very difficult to bounce back after having babies, but presenting yourself at your best has to be supported by your spouse too, assuming you’d reciprocate. If they’re behaving as though you owe it to them, they’ve got their own insecurity going on. I’ve totally done this in my own marriage, I’ve been in her husband’s shoes. Eventually, he’s just gonna have to trust her as his wife and the mother of his children.

@hollym1751 3 года назад

@9INE PLANETS I mean.. I love my kids, but you realize you’ll never be the same. The stretch marks are hideous, you’ve gained weight because you don’t think of yourself, you feel your husband doesn’t think your attractive, the hormones are off the chart after giving birth, you’re sleep deprived, toddlers aren’t the most rational people to deal with, etc. That’s my issue with society. There is such a push for women to have kids. If you don’t have kids something is wrong with you. Albeit, it is getting better, but nobody is honest. Kids are an amazing blessing, but nobody tells you what you have to endure to receive that blessing. And then you try to have honest conversations about your feelings (with adults, not your kids who don’t deserve to hear that) and get shamed for it.. 🙄
