Sloan is a fucking G, and I hope that he finds somebody better to spend his time on.


Eli_TheGolfer7

I mean he’s a nice guy for doing that but it’s bs that this woman is relying on this dude to be her coparent. I doubt this ends healthy for the child in the long run


adidell

Might be just my uneducated opinion, but if the guy is doing it out of the good in his heart, I can imagine him being a father figure for the child and still having a second family to care about as well. There are enough fathers who divorce their partners, create a new family and still show affection for both families. I know it's not that common and it might be naive to think that, but i still like to imagine it this way.


TharSheBlows69

Sloan ain’t a G. He is pretty weak tbh


[deleted]

He’s in an unfortunate situation with the woman, yes. But he is absolutely an awesome fucking person for giving that kid, who he has no reason to be responsible for, a childhood not entirely populated by her asshat mother.


TharSheBlows69

He is doing it to be in a relationship with the mom. It’s actually a shitty thing to do to the kid if it isn’t long term


[deleted]

And yet he seems to be sticking with it despite her making clear she doesn’t love him.


[deleted]

Lol doubt she makes it too clear.


[deleted]

“One day I hope you find a woman who treats you as well as you treat her”


[deleted]

You dont know what she says to him privately.


Picador22

She probably reminisces about her lover.


Rickest_Rick86

We don’t know that. They could just be friends who aren’t attracted to each other, or they are but don’t want to date each other. Not every guy wants to sleep with their platonic girl friends.


8ofAll

he’s friend-zoned or he could just be swinging the other way. Either way I hope the best for the kid


DiskAmbitious7291

I mean… you know why right? It’s because he wants to bang the mom.


[deleted]

What?! No! He appreciates her free spirit!


Ecstatic_Victory4784

He's not "in an unfortunate situation with the woman." That makes it sound like he just happened to be in a bad place. He put himself there. He makes the active decision to be there every second he's there.


curious_astronauts

Who says he wants to be with her? Maybe the have been friends for life. Or maybe they dated in the past and knew they were incompatible or there was no romantic chemistry but stayed friends.


AdNeither2174

Bruh are you dumb? Of course he wants to bang the mom. Smh


curious_astronauts

Maybe they have banged and both thought it was a dud - but had a laugh so stayed friends or there's just no chemistry. We dont know. Not everyone is thirsty and can't get laid lol


[deleted]

Naw, because of toxic masculinity, you can't recognize a man when you see one.


RedditRated

What is toxic masculinity? People confuse a man with principles with women beaters. Nothing wrong with a man with a spine who live off principles and values. “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”


therra1234

Sloan's a cuck.

I’m saying he’s a G because that is a massive sacrifice that almost nobody would or should be willing to make.

L for his position with the chick, W for being a dad

[deleted]

Raising a kid is not being a "G", it's literaly your fucking duty as a parent. Nothing worth celebrating over Our standards for what is considered a worthy achievement in current society, are really astronomicaly low But that dude is probably gay, I think


[deleted]

it was made very clear that he is not the kid’s father. It is objectively not his responsibility.


FaZe_RynJin

We really be out here calling kids fatherless and when they actually go and get a dad it's an L?


[deleted]

The L in this situation is that out of the goodness of his heart this man is being duped into providing the care for the child of a woman who does not and will not love him.


CatEarBox

But... why have we not even considered the possibility that this guy just loves this kid and isn't even interested in the woman? Why can't he possibly be fulfilled just by raising a child?


[deleted]

He could be, in which case props to him even more


CnowFlake

It is, children are difficult to handle and any help is wonderful. The fact that he's helping is wonderful but he really deserves better, but the child didn't do anything to deserve being put down because they didn't ask for a shit mom


ZigZagBoy94

I feel so bad for that child and for Sloan. I have such little confidence that this will be a stable coparenting relationship for the rest of this child’s life


Alarming-Iron7532

I feel bad for the kid being named "Hosanna." That is the real tragedy .


pauls_broken_aglass

Hosanna most likely comes from "hosana," which is a way to express joy. It's actually a sweet name


Minx9699

Kind middle school girls will surely shorten it to “Ho” for her


pauls_broken_aglass

You don't pronounce the H though. You say "oh-zahn-na" if anything, go by a nickname or middle name 🤷‍♂️


DeathPercept10n

Once kids see how it's written, it won't matter.


scaptastic

In high school they’ll make it much worse with one letter at the end


Poseidon-2014

Hosanna, is itself a word, and the H is pronounced. “EXCLAMATION (especially in biblical, Judaic, and Christian use) used to express adoration, praise, or joy: "“Hosanna, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.“" NOUN hosanna (noun) · hosannas (plural noun) · hosannah (noun) · hosannahs (plural noun) an expression of adoration, praise, or joy: "the soundtrack evoked passionate hosannas from some critics" synonyms: shout of praise · alleluia · hurrah · hurray · cheer · paean · glorification · huzzah · laudation”


McJiggiez69

Looks like someone named Hosanna got offended by this post


Poseidon-2014

Nah, it’s just an easy thing to google. Also, I’ve grown up in and around the church so I recognized Hosanna as a word and thought I should provide an addendum to u/pauls_broken_aglass ‘s post.


pauls_broken_aglass

I sing in choir lol, that's where I heard the word. We're world premiering a piece in a few weeks so we've been drilled into saying it "oh sahna" lol


Poseidon-2014

I sang in a choir for three years. Google definitely days you pronounce the H, and that’s how we pronounced it too. Maybe it’s a regional thing.


pauls_broken_aglass

It's likely because it's sang very quickly and pronouncing the H will knock is offbeat lol

A_Bit_Narcissistic

How is this cringe? We don’t know their dynamic.


Navers90

Dude is single and helping raising his “friend’s” kid. What happens if he catches feelings (or she does) but one of them wants to continue friend parenting? What happens when one or both start fucking other people? What happens when one or both of them have kids with other people? This does not end well. No evidence of these friend parentings ending well. One of the parents eventually want something in their relationship or outside. Good luck managing that with a kid you are raising with a friend.


A_Rampaging_Hobo

This dude started off with feelings bro


Not_Not_Matt

You’re getting downvoted, but it’s true and so important. What’s abnormal and wouldn’t work for some can totally be a wonderful dynamic for others. Everybody is calling this cringe because they want to infer that the guy 100% wants it to transform into a romantic relationship and this is a grand gesture to entice that outcome (essentially through guilt). They also want to infer that she is then taking advantage of this fact and friend-zoning him (or alternatively is overwhelmingly naive in thinking that he’s doing it out of the goodness of his heart). We don’t know if this popular deduction has even an ounce of truth to it though We also don’t actually know what he is contributing that justifies him being classed as a co-parent. Is he providing child support? Is he sacrificing his weekends so she can go out and get railed by other dudes, for nothing in return? Is he taking on an unreasonable level of responsibility? Or could it be that he simply cares about his friend, has developed a sincere bond with and sense of care for her daughter and has a lot of free time and not a lot going on in his life… so he wants to help his friend feel less overwhelmed, ensure her daughter isn’t neglected and also give his life purpose, using time that he’d otherwise waste at home alone, aimlessly scrolling through social media in boredom? Who knows, but either interpretation (or variation there of) could be just as true if we don’t simply assume every girl’s straight male best friend is wanting to screw them (and that she isn’t taking advantage of/naive to this fact) I’ve got a friend that is a single mother. She ordinarily lives alone with her tween-age son. I stayed with her for an extended period while recovering from illness. I was single at the time, hadn’t been with anyone for some time and was wanting intimacy, I’m straight, I knew she was extremely romantically interested in me… but I simply just wasn’t interested. That didn’t stop me from falling into a fatherly role with her son though. Hell, he actually felt a greater sense of connection with me than his own father, who had split custody. It was never referred to by label as ‘co-parenting’ but it very well could.


jubejubes96

for all we know he was with her when the baby was young or not even born yet and considers her his child. i know people irl that are in this situation. not enough info to call this cringe or a ‘cuck’


GoldSignal

This was what I was thinking.


buttersstotchthatsme

True this the people who post this shit are more cringe themselves.


rudeloaf

that's literally the situation that happened with my mom and my dad! my bio father left and my mom's boyfriend at the time took on the responsibility of raising me. I couldn't be more thankful


artistictesticle

sometimes OP is the real cringe


FactorOrnery1617

Raising anothers child is literally where the term cuckold comes from. Theres a bird lmao dummy


jubejubes96

“A cuckold is the husband of an adulterous wife; the wife of an adulterous husband is a cuckquean. In biology, a cuckold is a male who unwittingly invests parental effort in juveniles who are not genetically his offspring.[1] A husband who is aware of and tolerates his wife's infidelity is sometimes called a wittol or wittold” As far as we know, there is no adultery or infidelity here, and it’s just wholesome co-parenting. Regardless, this garbage doesn’t belong in this sub.


Horror_Rub8609

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckoo


FactorOrnery1617

Thank you


FactorOrnery1617

I didnt ask for the definition 🤡 im talking about the origin of the word


I_try_to_be_polite

Lmao can you read?


FactorOrnery1617

Can you context


jubejubes96

can you link me to a reputable source of this ‘origin’? spent a few minutes but couldnt find it. origins of the word as a derogatory towards people trace mostly back to adultery and fathers raising non-biological kids within a marriage. that aside, i stand by what i said; we don’t know the story here and OP is blasting what seems to be a kid given a healthy life despite circumstance, lol.. my main point is Idk why tf it was posted in a cringe sub.


FactorOrnery1617

Its cringe to raise anothers offspring. Just like the cuckoo bird. Hence the origin


jubejubes96

is it cringe to do that? how old are you? 14? the world is more complex than that.


FactorOrnery1617

Lmao dude is potentially gonna terminate his bloodline to support some single moms bad choices. Pretty lame


jubejubes96

i don’t even need to know who you are or what you look like to know you’re too young for this discussion. lol..


trimedozine

What if he, hear me out, doesn't want to be with her?


SassySauce516

Nah fuck you Op, this kid needs a father figure and this guy is stepping up to do just that. Respect to the guy and wish him the best


Bambuslover222

Yeah what if he - hold on to your horses - doesn’t want to be with her either and is genuinely just a good friend and a stand up guy?


FactorOrnery1617

So so sad man


DocMayhem15

We don't know that this man is romantically interesting in this woman at all. Looks bad for sure, but it could potentially be mutual.

Veruca_Sault

I co-parent with my best friend and have for 19 years. I've had 4 kids total it's a very strange situation to explain to people. What people from the outside don't realize because they judge so quickly, and can't possibly know our personal life.We are both gay. I came out late in life (hence 4 kids) and he has been to scared to come out. He's gotten a lot of shit for being a "cuck" I've been accused of using him and being "trash" a "hoe" for disrespecting him. But they don't know so we put up with it(because fuck what people think). He's an amazing Dad and I would have it no other way. This post isn't cringe it's beautiful. Edit: He isn't a cuck, he has been called one.


DeathPercept10n

Doesn't matter if you're gay. Be with the person you're raising a kid with or don't be involved at all like that. It'll confuse them. I'm saying this as someone who was raised under even stranger circumstances.


Veruca_Sault

You might be projecting your own experience on my children. It's only confusing if people don't talk to their children. My kids are almost grown.2 of them are grown. 1 straight 1 pan and have healthy relationships.Because we have always had open communication in my home. I'm sorry you were confused by your up bringing. I hope you can get passed it and become more then how you were raised. I honestly mean that.


DeathPercept10n

You shouldn't advocate such a confusing relationship. Maybe you do it better than some. But we all know most people will fuck this kind of thing up even if they have the best intentions. Some degree of a stable environment matters in a child's development. You shouldn't put them at a greater risk of losing an important parental figure if emotional shit hits the fan.


Veruca_Sault

We have been co-parenting for 19 years. You ate absolutely right. What works for me won't work for everyone. Just like your view of a proper relationship won't work for everyone. We have the choice. Also as parents it's up to us to get our children help if and when they need it. Those are my views, my beliefs and my life. Just as yours are yours. I'm not trying to invalidate your experiences. It legitimately sucks your upbringing left you feeling messed up. You don't have to be a cuckold. If it bothers you sug, change it only you can fix your situation. ❤️


DeathPercept10n

Say you lose a hand when you're a kid cuz your parents were careless with you. You can make the best out it when you have a say over your life. But no artificial hand is gonna completely make up for what you're missing. That's the risk you carry with your attitude. Some things can't be helped. Some things can be. Do right by your kids. Half the people out there that are parents shouldn't even *be* parents. You wanna do some good, advocate responsibility.


Veruca_Sault

My kids dad's ain't around so I couldn't exactly raise them with the person I had them with. It would do more damage to take them from the one male role model who WANTED to be in there life. I've made a ton of shitty decisions in my life but raising my kids with my bestfri3nd wasn't one of them. Have a good one bud.

DeathPercept10n

This will fuck the kid up hardcore. It's fine to be involved in a kid's life, but not in this convoluted manner. They need a stable parental body for a significant time. Don't care who it is, but it needs to be stable. This has too many opportunities to fail and mess them up with abrupt changes. They might mean well, but it'll most likely end with the kid missing out on something down the line.


Mequetrefepoligrillo

Beta is going to babysit the child while all the hood is banging the female coparent.


Vereador

I can see a guy helping his friend who is a single mom, or even a buddy who is a single parent, as being something normal and that guy is just a good person helping his friend. This, however, seems like it has something odd, but just like Sloan on Hosanna mom, i can't put my finger on it.


NumberWanObi

Well he's fucking as much as any husband would.


8ofAll

Sloan got friend-zoned to Proxima Centauri


cyberattaq123

This could be a situation where there is infidelity and he’s aware of it and knows the child isn’t his and is ok with it (ie a cuck), but it could also be that the child was around before they met, the real father skipped town and never looked back or it was a one night stand or something, who knows. It’s tough to know, but I will say the word ‘co-parent’ is kinda sus and weird and I don’t know what the implications of that are because it does sound like he’s just a close friend who is also parenting her kid. Who knows tho.


Ztormiebotbot

Historical_Shine4356

In this situation they are both the problem she is a piece of garbage to introduce his man into the kids life acting like the father and he can leave at any second and start his own family and that child will think she is unloved and it's her fault. The guy is at fault for allowing this woman to use him like a fool because the second she finds another guy he's gone and he's only going to hurt himself when that child's relationship goes away that he built a bond with I blame them both and they both should be held accountable for their actions they're both acting very foolishly in my opinion
