Dads confess

Well now I found this site awhile ago and have been mulling it over since.

I actually saw a blurb about it in a parenting magazine and popped by out of curiousity.

True Dad Confessions? Who wouldn't want to read more?

To be honest I still don't know what to think. At first I found it amusing and maybe a little enlightening. But the more I read the more discouraged I became. It seems that about 9 out of 1o of these entries are written by unhappily married men. And mostly it seems that they're wives are clueless to how unhappy they are. Frenchie happened by as I was reading page after page of these confessions and I read him a few. Glumly, I asked him if he ever felt like some of these fellows.

He told me that he did not and I shouldn't read too much into it because happy husbands don't have much need to "confess". I can see his point but I still felt depressed about it.

Some made me smile:

I secretly love chubby chicks.

I wish that instead of getting a tax credit for each kid, I got a lifetime supply of aspirin.

Some made me stop and think:

My wife never dresses up sexy in the bedroom, even though she is HOT when she does (did). :-(

Some made me happy:

Brought the little guy to preschool this morning, only to return home to find my beautiful wife in bed waiting for me. It was nice not to have to lock the door for a change and to keep the noise down. Today was great!

I have a crazy wife and I LOVE her. Why settle for a boring one when she gives me a run for my money. Sure I would like a women to give into my every whim but a challenge is alot more fun.

But most? Most made me upset:

She asked me if it was worth it (marriage, kids, etc). I told her yes. I lied.

I overheard her talking about how good she is at faking orgasms....good thing she has no idea that I am even better at faking fidelity.

Valentines Day, just what we needed to remind us of the sh*tty marriages we are in.

All these examples were borrowed from the first 3 pages. Do men really feel like this? Trapped? Burdened?

It is eye-opening to peruse this site and I'm not saying it doesn't have it's uses. If it helps men get it all out anonymously then great but I just hate to think about the unhappiness.

Just as I was going to write this post I happened upon the Mom's equivalent site. I had no idea this existed. I hope it doesn't depress me as much as the Dad one does....
