Props for...propositioning his coworker, her agreeing, and then asking his wife if it's okay if he have sex with her and the wife can join in too?

The assumptions don't only go one way, but as is often the case, posters will identify with the position most closely to their own.
Exactly. So why were you assuming?

The OP said multiple times during the thread that he didn't help with the baby, and doesn't know how. So that part wasn't an assumption.

Bummer they're breaking up, though. Being weirdly clueless has its price. I hope the kid still gets to have his dad in his life, though.

Probably should have asked the partner before the person at work, don't you think?

Had the cojones to do what? Care for his own child? Nope, no cojones there... Suck it up while his SO struggles through childbirth, then caring for a newborn 24/7, and be mature about sex getting a little boring for awhile? Nope, no cojones there.... Treat his wife with respect? Hm....nope. What are we supposed to give him props for?

He could be a narcissist. They tend to assume that what they want is what the people close to them also want. They have poor boundaries between self and other in that way. Or he didn't really care what his wife wanted.

Seriously weird suggestion he made to his SO.

I think I pointed out several times that I wasn't.

Yes. Too many men (and women) aren't truthful about their desires. And even the ones that are, don't have the cojones to even ask. What if this SO said "yes" to the threesome?

No - what would have taken cojones is to be truthful with your PARTNER about your desires - not your coworker. That's just stupid. Anyone who understand how a relationship works can see that.

Lets say if the guy didn't have the kid and none of that. Just wanted a threesome. We'd still be slamming him.

Also, I'm not saying what he did was right.

He also fully admits that he doesn't know how to take care of this child. In my own experiences, many men would simply run for the hills.

Confusing the issue. I'm saying he has the *alls or "gumption" to do what he did. Never said it was right. Never said it wasn't stupid.

gumption: shrewd or spirited initiative and resourcefulness.
