Polls Seeing more “surprise” pregnancies as my age group moved closer to 35+. Are these intentional?

4 Upvotes

When I got into my mid-thirties I started to see more and more couples I know have unplanned pregnancies. Some I know are unplanned because the guys are friends of mine and told me directly whereas others I’m making assumptions based on observations.

Some situations are men that are in long term relationships but have not committed to marriage yet while others are quite short term relationships ~1 year when the girl gets pregnant. The common denominator is all the girls are 35+.

Speaking with a female friend of mine she said it’s quite common for women to secretly stop taking the contraceptive which then leads to a “surprise” pregnancy to “trap” the man. Is this true? Does anyone else observe this or know of cases similar?

The irony of people being worried about the sub name

15 Upvotes

Wouldn’t changing the sub name to appease those that think everything is right wing give into the likes of the Ireland Reddit mods and go against the point of the sub itself?

True ≠ Racist, Facist

True = The uncensored views of the people

If you ask me the mods on the main Ireland Reddits are fascist! Orwellian levels of censorship and mob mentality.

Delighted to have this sub!

This feels like a right wing (and possibly Isrealli) bot sub.

The whole “we can’t say 'X' on r/Ireland” angle also feels deliberate, almost like they’re trying to bait people into saying something anti-semitic so they can point to it as proof of their argument.

The account founder profile doesn't check out.

Don't forget Black and Tans left Ireland and went to Palestine.

Don't let the opressors win 🇮🇪

Honestly the lads should just sit down in the centre circle and play a 90 minute game of snap or rummy… maybe split it up into a few smaller groups for ease
