I feel like I’ve already used up all of my good luck in life, and I’m deeply grateful for it. Little old me, born and raised in Vietnam, would never have dreamt of living a leisurely life abroad in the UK with an amazing husband, travelling often, being able to retire my parents early, and supporting them. I’ve already been lucky enough to experience so many wonderful things that anything else that comes my way feels like a bonus, and any hardships can’t take that away from me. That sense of satisfaction is what gives me hope.

It’s just who I happened to fall in love with. I was working as a tour guide in my hometown of Huế, and he was there on holiday. We clicked.

We didn’t have a firm plan either way. No hard yes or no on both sides, basically the same attitude we have now. He’s open to the idea of having kids, but he does have his concerns. He’s not against it, though.

 

I’m 31, my husband is 51, and lately I’ve been feeling some baby fever. For the record, kids aren’t a must for me, I’m genuinely happy with or without them, but I think it would be nice to experience that journey. My husband is hesitant, though. Even though he’s very healthy, active, and energetic, he feels like having a child in his 50s might be too late. He also already has a 27-year-old son, and he worries that the big age gap between siblings would feel strange.

I guess I’m just looking to hear what others think about this situation.

I don’t support the death penalty, no matter how heinous the crime.

Of all the things that never happened, this one didn’t happen the most.

Democrats should have imprisoned Trump between 2021 and 2025 after he committed literal insurrection. They have no bite. I won’t believe anything they say until I actually see it happen.
