poise, attitude, false fronts, that kind of stuff. You're getting warmer...
for some it greatly impedes it because of the massive layer of fear that threat adds.
Of what? And to what? Don't stop now, you're nearly there.
What that I fear pregnancy? Damn straight I do. To me a pregnant wife would be the ultimate catch 22, I literally have no options. No way in hell I'd opt for an abortion. The adoption system in this country is so FUBAR I'd never dump a living thinking creature into it. And I absolutely will not live with a child. Home is a place for relaxation, having had child visitors (and even a couple of unfortunate overnight stays) I know there is no relaxation for me if there is a child in house (notice how with a child home becomes a house). If I were a member of some royal family I could give the kid over to a nanny and only see them on holidays. But I'm not a royal, I would have no escape (other than the one my father took, which simply will not do).
Knowing I'm one fertilization away from a completely untenable situation makes the thought of pregnancy absolutely terrifying. So I married a woman that's almost garaunteed infertile. I ain't no dumby.
