I don't really get it as yet, though given I've not put much effort in I guess you expect that back.

I meet people sometimes in my 'normal' life and some of them seem to like me, so I think I might just keep doing that for now.

Well, there is always the gold old fashioned Russian Bride.  About $30K or so.  A relationship formed on green cards, lies, a touch of slavery, and inevitable contempt and hatred... well, it worked for thousands of years, why not give it another shot?

2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.

Also there's just ordering a sexbot and telling society to go fuck itself.

Sort of reminds me of the personals in the London Review of Books. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2009/jan/24/london-review-books-personal-ads

(There's two books that anthologize more of those ads...some of them are really pretty amazing.)

Damn, those are great.  I am going to do that now, just to entertain myself.

Update from someone who started his internet dating a few years ago on OkCupid:

Meet girl. Married Girl. Had Baby boy. Now got identical twins coming, but the risks are very very high for everyone. I don't know what we'll/can/will do. Going to be very hard no matter what happens.

A further update: bad news.
For the good news, my son is now 19 months old and playing video games (Lego Duplo Train on the iPad) and loves watching The Wiggles - he knows how to load NetFlix. I await the day I can play video games with him as well.

I'm just crushed to hear this Comstar.   Words seem so inadequate at a time like this.   I hope you and your wife can heal and find some comfort in the future.

I am so sorry to read this, Comstar. Please remember to look after yourself at the same time as you're taking care of your family. Nurture your relationship as you grieve.

We lost one at 10 weeks last year and my wife needed an operation. The final ultrasound image on the screen is seared into my mind. And my hours sitting in the car after she was led away for her operation a few days later. And the terrifying night of our weekend holiday soon after, when she was writhing in pain and I had the phone in my hand with the emergency number dialled, until suddenly she threw up because it was just food poisoning from a restaurant dinner.... During the toughest weeks of grief and her recovery, she became distant and at times I despaired that she really hated me, but that healed too and here we are. Keep going.

This time we're at 22 weeks and having some issues, but we're expecting a son. I will take inspiration from you and your gaming wishes for your sons.

Comstar, Tale, my thoughts are with you. Remember to be kind to yourselves during this time.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe
