I think we'd all benefit from that.

In what way knowing the identity of a poster here affects the way you process what they contribute?

If someone don't want to disclose name, gender, even nationality or region... let them be. If anything it prevents you being in any way prejudiced.

Just let it go, please.
i'm about as transparent and "real" as anyone on tb, and i approve this post.

i'll add that if anyone thinks any member is not "legit" or is representing themselves in a non-truthful manner to the detriment of the community, you can.... (drumroll).... tell me if you've heard this before ....

REPORT THE POST


it's not hard, and i have it on good authority that almost all of you in this thread have done it before, so you certainly know the drill.

this may come as a shock, but attempting to chase off a member who you disapprove of is considered trolling. if they are not legit, that's our (mod/admins) job to deal with, and if they are but just for some reason rub you the wrong way :

1. that's what we have the ignore function for
2. some self-examination might be in order to reveal why the limited amount of personality a person can present via a forum is sufficient to generate such a negative response.
3. it's t3h int3rw3bz, and is to be expected.

Just a quick update: baby is due Thursday. Fiance is miserable. Hopefully things go smoothly, and I'll be holding my son before Friday.

Could be that the Pregnant Fiance wants a wedding. If you haven't set a date yet you might think of moving that to
the front burner.

Good luck, OP.

I'm getting bad vibes from what you've described, but am hoping that I'm simply wrong.

Give her space! She is pregnant with your kid, right? I have three kids and the desire for affection form your wife is not the same from one pregnancy to the next. Just roll with it and things will come around again. Kids are awesome! (At least mine are!)

Best wishes to all of you!

NBD = new baby day. This thread will be worthless without pics.

No pix = no kid.

Let's see the pix when the kid comes.

I'm holding out to see how close to normal things return after the baby comes and she's back to hormonal normalcy. If things stay anywhere near where they're at right now, there will have to be a change. I'm not hoping for that but it's where I'm at. For now, I'm just focusing on her as much as possible and waiting for my son.
