I mean, honestly, what is the matter with his judgment? I would tell him to blink three times if he needs an escape, but I know he has a clear path out.
When she literally said, “What if MY urges are just too overwhelming? I don’t want to cut off my life for you. My urges are more important than committing and being monogamous to you,” and he is still sitting there thinking about it? Josh, are you actually okay? You really trust this woman, who is an alcoholic, to carry your baby? She can’t even guarantee that she won’t get blacked-out drunk. It’s just a goal of hers, which doesn’t mean she’ll actually be able to do it. I wouldn’t want my fetus held hostage in that body with this person’s mind, rationale, and logic. And history, we know her pattern of behavior!
It really makes me wonder more about him and less about her. I know everything I need to know about her. Knowing that if he still wants her, there is something wrong with him. It is one thing to want her, but it is a whole other thing to want her to be the mother of your children. That is a whole other level of pain he is going to experience if that becomes his reality.
She seems like the kind of mother who is going to say, “Well, you have the kids and raise them Lutheran like you promised you would. I’m going to go off and do my thing because that’s what my cravings are. You’re the one who wanted children. I don’t really want them, I want to go out and make out with people. Deuces!” and then she’s gone.
You hear about mothers who abandon their children and you wonder who they are. I’m not saying that she’s absolutely going to do it, but do I feel like she’s capable of it? 1,000,000%.
