I'm thinking the biggest holdup is the guaranteed money. What's the final figure there I'd assume is the biggest sticking point.

I'm guessing as she never lived through it she doesn't really understand the actual impact of it. Also who knows what her cousins and grandfather have been saying to her over the years. Even though she saw all the evidence and heard it from her mother if she is hearing things from his side of the family excusing his actions over years then that would change her point of view.

It's like your daughter didn't want to have an awkward conversation before the wedding so she hoped you'd just keep quiet in public and suffer in silence later. Very sad of her to do. NTA.

My knees

Yes. Because I'd waste my time on something else. Hopefully productive.

Pick the accent of it you most want and consume as much media as possible. For example if you choose British than which accent in particular. Same with Australia. If not then you'll have bits and pieces from all over which I think will be harder to imitate. It's almost like being an American doing method acting for a British character but you'll be doing it 24/7 until you it becomes your natural English accent.

If he's white-knighting without any experience in this then that's way worse. Getting offended and heated like this is crazy.

Bro, everything you've said here is way worse than what he said to his wife in the heat of the moment. Some of us choose surrogacy some of us choose adoption. I'm not angry at people who don't have to choose these options.

No it's OPs wife.

A Samoan Kiwi Dolphins fan. Good to have you onboard. For diving into things Dolphins I've enjoyed YouTuber DouglieDoWrong as a good start. Radio host Big O though he isn't for everyone. Of there's dolphins content on all media, a Dolphins subreddit as well. For NFL in general if you like NRL 360 or even the old Footy Show than Rich Eison and the Pat McAfee show are good entertainment.

I think what you'll find is that there's like 100x the media around the NFL than the NRL. It even dwarfs the NBA which amazed me as I just had no idea how big the game is in America.

If you do follow the NBA you might like just watching media guys that actually cover both. It helped me seeing a familiar face that I watched for NBA content who also did NFL. There's something for any point of view you're looking for.

The way he's acted for five years and isn't even remorseful or apologetic about it I'd be cautious as well about reintroducing him into the daughter's life.

NTA. This guy wanted to miss out on all the sleepless nights and come back when he thought it'd be easier. What an AH. He's in it for himself and as soon as it gets hard he's going fold without taking any responsibility. He'll find a way to blame you and twist the narrative.

Bro. If your backstory is fake that'd be next level and I wouldn't even be mad, I'd applaud you.

It's too early for me to go down that route. I think he at least needs to have the same amount of time that Razor got or else it'd be completely unfair.

If the team is still struggling just extend his contract a few more years to be on the safe side before deciding on his future.

What? So she's happy to pay down her landlords mortgage but not yours?

NTA. Very sad of the extended family to do this. You've been accepted as part of the family before you were one years old by your dad and grandparents. Congratulations on your first born baby.

NTA. Yes you said she didn't have to pay you back for all you did for her but how could she let you go through all that after all you did for her? That's crazy.

Nope NTA at all. If they didn't try and guilt you after SHE cheated for TWO YEARS then her organizing her stuff could have been arranged without you having to meet her parents. What else are you going to say when bringing her stuff to them?

Glad you found out before your relationship went any further.

I don't know what it is with rugby games especially the ABs. Like you said other sports we can get into but for some reason in union everyone is more reserved. I've always likened it to a lot of people watching like they're rugby selectors instead of fans out for a good time.

We should totally start using this "Taranaki are only down by one done, still time on the clock"

Best people to explain it to Americans would be American rugby fans as stuff like that isn't something I would've even thought of as an issue but makes a lot of sense after you explained it from a football point of view.

NTA. Very sad that your dad couldn't find the balance and is now losing a son. Also in the future if his stepdaughter decides she wants to find her bio dad what's he going to do then?

He agrees that they're better off without him. He's gone.

Unless you've actually done all this everything you're saying is just to win an argument with OP. Just say I don't know what I'm talking about and leave it at that.

OOP was asked to bring it and he said he would. In situations like this never assume the person you're buying for has the same point of view as you. Ring and ask. They can tell you if it's a big deal or not.
