Bobby, hello, eldest, hello, esteemed, yes, and or yes, hello. He's looking for the voice. Her wife slash girlfriend, six years dating, now almost six years married. She was healthy, got unfit, and then when we started trying to have kids once married, was not able to do so. Okay. So she decided to go on a fitness journey. She's in great shape now. Okay.

She gives me passive, aggressive comments about children. while we're out sometimes or just having an experience around another child. She goes, ugh, aren't you glad we don't have to deal with that? And it kind of makes me sad because the entire reason for her to lose the extra weight was for her body to be able to conceive children. What the fuck is this guy talking? And I don't want to sound like my wife is a cow that I breed and I finally got my livestock in order and now it doesn't want kids.

What the fuck are you talking about? I mean, look, I get it. Anyway, let's let him finish, I guess. I appreciate her struggle. I appreciate the fact that she has gone through all this and now is in a healthy place. But it was always kind of an understanding that we were going to have kids.

I want to be a dad. I'm 38. The clock's ticking, buddy. You know, I don't want to be... Don't call me, buddy. ...with a 10-year-old, you know. And we're almost there. Sounds like that.

I don't want kids bad enough. How do I broach the subject to her? I'm not looking to set an ultimatum. I'm not leaving her. Okay. I'm not saying it's got to be kids or I've got to find another broad. That's not the argument. This guy's cool.

But in your vast wisdom, how do I communicate to her? I appreciate the fact that you're living your life now and you're happy with how you are. What the fuck is this got time? But remember when we wanted to have kids and now you're in great shape and that might be hard. And I want to be sensitive about this. But at the same time, like, he said he's going to keep this brief. Procreation feels like the right move. Why?

For lack of a better explanation, like, I want to share this life with my family that I haven't made yet. Oh. I don't know if that sounds selfish, but. No, it's not selfish. I will leave it to you. Okay, look. Thank you so much. Love you, bye, bye.

Here's the thing. I do kind, I mean, look, we're playing with an awesome baby right now. You know what I mean? I get where this guy's coming from. The whole time, I'm like, what the fuck is this guy talking? I'm, like, mesmerized by my son. Yeah, yeah. My eight-month-old baby.

So, okay, here's the thing. His, the way he phrased it, the problem in this relationship is so clearly their communication. Because he's not, if he's like, hey, I thought we, I thought, I thought we were like going We were going to do this to have kids And at some point did that change? No, it's okay Um

I like so look His attitude is a little strange But look I get it If you wanted kids and you thought You and your wife were on the same page And then she started doing stuff to have kids But then at some point changed her mind I think the biggest problem here

Is that there seems to be a lack of communication. Somewhere along the way, you thought, oh, she's doing this to have kids. And maybe that's how she started. And maybe she changed her mind too. And maybe those comments are sort of, but also, you've never directly talked about it. So this woman might think like, oh, I guess we don't want to have kids anymore. I'm glad I had the, like, he's not really bringing it up. And she might even be insecure and being like, aren't you glad we don't have kids and maybe she even wants you know like you don't know until you have the conversation yeah that's the weirdest part about this is you're he's clearly resentful and mad so you think he just

assumed she got in shape so they can have kids i mean maybe they had the conversation at the very beat i could see it being a thing where that's why she started it but then maybe i could see a world where she was like whoa this is really rewarding i'm having a i feel better with my body yeah maybe she's at the point where she doesn't want to have kids with her. Maybe she's like, I worked so hard to get my body at this place. I don't want to have kids. And I also empathize with that. The guy doesn't have to fuck his body

up to have a kid. So if your wife starts feeling that way, and that doesn't even preclude having kids, by the way. You could adopt. You could, you know what I mean? You could fuck it. There's a lot of options. But the problem here is just you haven't talked about it.

You're getting so resentful that you clearly are mad at your at your wife and it's like and you said it yourself you don't want to leave her so there's a you have to have this conversation i wonder how old she is because he's talking about himself in terms the clock is yeah right no it's not it's like if you you want to have kids so bad give your wife some time though like let her maybe enjoy this newfound level of fitness this you know this you know the maybe she's more confident uh from like uh body image perspective yeah pregnancy should be trying to cheat on you should be getting ready to cheat on you now that she's hot

maybe she's already getting fucked down maybe she's already sucking dick all over the place all over town she's going to the gym she's going eight shit but I really think it comes down to just talk to it I mean literally

this is such a you could be like hey do you want maybe the next time she makes a comment or even just like hey you know, it seems like your attitude was having kids who changed, like, are you not interested in this? Yeah.

This is your wife, dude. These are, this is the person you're supposed to have these conversations with and you clearly are, maybe you're not a confrontational guy, whatever, but we hear it in your voice, this thing that happens where you're just, because you're too much,

and I've been here, you're too much of a coward to have a hard conversation. So you grow resentful of the person that you have, should be having that conversation. with because you blame them instead of yourself. Right. You know? And so you just got to have this conversation.

You know, you just have to be like, hey, what are we doing here? Do you not want kids? I want kids. Are you totally gone on it? Is it about your body? Is it about something else? Until you talk to her, you don't really know. Yeah.

You know? And you can use one of these comments as an excuse, I guess, but you can also be like, hey, are we like, you can just check in. Like, so is this, are we not, do you? Do you not want to have kids? It is as simple as that, honestly. Yeah. I mean.

Or, let's hear it, George. Bang the table really hard. It's like, who is he? Who is he? Don't fucking lie. Who is he? Don't lie. You've changed a lot.

Not just the weight. Towards me, towards everything we've built. We discussed having kids. Now all of a sudden you don't want kids. That's a good way. Because that way you show you're in control. You're not a man to be. trifled with that's smart too so what better day to do that than today thanksgiving yeah so

the second you listen to this on thanksgiving rot no matter what the vibes are it may have been a nice relaxing day switch it up and do exactly what george just told you to do good luck
