While the moral debate is discussed, I'm more interested in how Mr GB is planning ahead, specifically with his prepping because he has just expanded one family into potentially three families, assuming he and his wife meet other people. Potentially even more families, if their new partners have ex partners and offspring. From prepping for four, to prepping for a dozen or more, spread throughout multiple homes and locations, I'm guessing.
It's not just a moral maze, it's a prepping maze too. What's the plan, Mr GB?
Out of the closet before the shtf
Re: Out of the closet before the shtf
I recently experienced Plymouth City centre so that's why I prep.

Re: Out of the closet before the shtf
I had absolutely no interest in getting involved in this thread but latrocinium's taking a hell of a lot of flack here for what was a very fair point.
A lot of people seem to want to jump straight to the conclusion, 'he's just a narrow minded bigot, who thinks being gay is a choice'
but if you actually take the time to read his posts that's just not the case.
I was engaged at 19, she was the love of my life, soulmates and one day we were going to get a little smallholding together in the country and be self-sufficient,
it was everything I'd always wanted, yet when we started seriously talking about getting our own place and starting a family something just didn't feel right.
At first I tried to tell myself it was just natural to be nervous, it was a massive step,
maybe I was just being a typical bloke, scared of missing out on sowing my wild oats?
but deep down I knew I wasn't ready for that kind of commitment, to make that kind of decision,
we were both so young, I was still at uni, had no career plans, very little life experience,
and obviously all relationships are a gamble but where kids are involved I didn't like our odds.
I also knew that if I told her that it would pretty much end the relationship,
so I carried it around for months, all the while pretending everything was ok.
Letting her make lists of boys and girls names, even looking at cots!
In the end I just had to be honest with her, sit her down and have that talk,
obviously she was upset, we carried on nearly another year but was never the same
and we slowly drifted apart.
Would be so easy though to sit here now with a kid to her (like her current ex), and say, 'I just didn't see it coming', 'people change'.

As requested, topic now locked. I think the debate has had it's time.
A difficult subject with no right or wrong, black or white answer.
