After a few hundred replies in the thread, a mother finally commented: Why do I feel like the original poster hasn't said anything?
Someone chimed in: Well, we've all left our opinions, but did the original poster ever specify if the child was to be kept or not?
Another asked: Original poster, are you still here?
And another: Original poster, our words are all related to your original post after all?
Yet another: Original poster, are you male or female? Is it you who's asking the question, or are you asking for your wife?
A guess came: The poster might be a girlfriend asking for advice.
Gem Atkinson was still online. He simply replied 'male,' and then 'asking for my wife.'
Someone exclaimed: Oh, original poster, are you here on a women's forum seeking advice?
Gem Atkinson replied with a single 'Uh-huh.'
A comment came in: Sounds like the original poster is quite the good man.
