Yup, if they married and had a child with a man like this, you can't really expect the people they surround themselves with to be vastly different. So they'd think it's normal to be like this.

Its a lot easier to say "men are just like that" than to admit "my man just kinda sucks"

Right. My ex was 17 when our daughter was born. My family thought he was a loser (we were alt/punk kids) but he was amazing during my pregnancy, the birth, and has always been an incredible devoted father. Better than a lot of men twice his age tbh

May I ask why “ex”? Sounds like a decent fella and you sound like you still respect him?

Even when people like, respect and/or even love each other that doesn’t mean they can have a successful romantic relationship

We were just kids when we got together and simply didn’t work as we got older. We’re both with wonderful partners now 🩷 his wife actually just had a baby last year, big sis just turned 17 lol
