So for those of you paying attention to my inane garbage, recently I lost a player in my long (and I mean long, like 3+ years for this for this particular campaign, and 4+ years for the previous) standing campaign because he decided to move to Seattle, lol.
Anyway, yesterday night, one of my other players had a baby*. He's quitting for at least six months, and unsure if he will be able to/want to come back at all, ever.
I am now down to three players within a week. This irritates me, naturally.
Really, though, I'm posting this in SHIT DAYS on behalf of the friend who just witnessed his little girl come into the world. He and his wife are not even remotely ready for a child. Not financially, not mentally, and not emotionally. This day is the start of a lot of SHIT for him. (Even literally, lol!)
This child is going to severely reduce the quality of his life. (I won't say ruin, but.) I cannot imagine trading friends, activities, free time, free money, and sleep for some biological urge to be satisfied.
Fuck, it's not even that. He didn't even want the kid. His wife pressured him into it because she wants pets. Yes, pets. She wants FIVE or MORE kids. I cannot even begin to explain the doormat that my friend is. She completely dominates him in all aspects of his life. She's a incredible idiot feminist, actually believing that males are inferior. She belittles and emasculates my friend nonstop, all the time, every day. She is going to raise her sons and especially her daughters to do the same. They will all grow up thinking their dad is a fucking joke.
I can't even think about this. It makes me furious. Can someone explain why a really smart person with a good soul would subject himself to this kind of woman? Is it because she's the first person he ever had sex with? Is this some kind of self-confidence issue? I'm leaning toward yes, because she's fucking fat and ugly.
The fucked up part that makes me REALLY hate her is she's smart. Like REALLY smart. If she was just another ignorant bitch I would dislike her. But she's intelligent. It's like her one redeeming feature. Only since it's combined with everything else it just makes it worse. Like how intelligent villains are worse than stupid ones.
God.
I feel so sorry for my friend. I really hope I'm wrong and he grows a fucking spine and stands up to her. But people tend to remain the same and change is rare. In twenty years, when his mostly teenage litter of kids won't listen to him because he's been underminded by his wife at every turn their entire lives and therefore has no value, when all his female children are carbon fucking copies of his wife, when his sons have learned to hate themselves for the crime of having a penis, he's going to have a fucking aneurysm and die.
Or I'm wrong! Having babies changes people! et-fucking-cetera. I really hope so.
ok done spewing, ima go post on my blog and listen to some evanescence
*I used the expression "having a baby" in reference to a male because, you know, apart from the physical act.
