    I fear that when I was young I would have read this post and immediately committed myself in the pursuit of love.

    If this story doesn’t convince you that birth control should be free to anyone who wants it, then you’re an idiot.

      I never thought some people shouldn’t be allowed to breed until I heard the stories from my obgyn wife. Holy shit is it heartbreaking, sometimes.

    The essence of the story: Meeting people in person in the real world always is better than looking for someone special on some scammy dating site…

    Okay so yes it’s green text but…

    I know people who work at inpatient acute facilities and they are constantly having to cockblock people to prevent truly horrible things from happening (think anorexia dating borderline or NPD + NPD)

    So while this particular story may not have happened, this general story happens daily.

      yeah you really really want to prevent them to have kids on accident. hell on purpose too.

      those poor kids

      one fucked up parent already fucks up a kid. imagine two

      its a place where people calm down for the first time in forever, bored and together with others in the same situation. ofc romance ensures

        It’s not some eugenics thing.

        People with borderline have a much higher success rate at maintaining their abusive relationship style with people who are already mentally struggling or otherwise neurodivergent.

        Worse yet a lot of mental health conditions have genetic components so the kids are basically getting the worst hand you can possibly deal them.

    When source 4chan implied vets the story.

    Are y’all coin flip relationships quality? I want enough time I do not think about that person in any type of addictive or reminiscent context. I want my relationships to be clean slate with a clear head. I do not care if that takes months or years.

      Have you heard of the saying “beggars can’t be choosers”? Anon writes that they had zero romantic success elsewhere. Theoretically there are more options than Tinder and a psych ward, but this is a 4chan user.

        Why does anyone need to have such a desperate mentality? Being alone is far better than being with a terrible person.

    30 day alcohol program is to encourage not drinking for 30 days right?

    And not to be plastered for 30 days like the name implies.
