  • I had talked to that girl in a karaoke bar once and we swapped numbers. Had forgotten about her but half a year later she texted me if I was in for a date the same evening. Should have been a red flag already since this is weird, but I was curious… and horny. Date: after 10 minutes of small talk and funny banter she told me that her boyfriend is at home and does not know she’s on a date. No idea why she told me. Was she waiting for some approval? Anyway I was flabbergasted but didn’t decide to call it off right away (I should have but again, I was curious … and horny, even though a little less so now). First hesitated and a few bars and drinks later I decided it’s her responsability not mine and we had some fun later that night and never came back to it until a few weeks later she texted me a whole ‘novel’ full of reproaches, as if I we had had a long relationship and I had broken up on her or so. Absolute weirdo. Friendly reminder to always always ALWAYS wear a condom (I did).




  • What? I have 6 weeks and my wife 10 weeks of payed leave in the Netherlands. Nobody will expect anything of you in this time. Around childbirth you have 6 weeks as a partner, 3 months as a mom. All payed. Afterwards moms have about 3 months of payed leave, too. Then on top each partner has 3 months of payed parental leave that you can freely distribute over the first 8 years, your employer has basically no say in that. And oh yes, we have affordable public healthcare.

    Just saying, in case you were considering…
