Major apologies for length but I feel all of this detail is necessary :-/I'm a 30 year old male and have been married to my wife (age 29) for 8 years. We dated for a little over a year prior to that and were friends for about three years before that. We have a 17 month old daughter that has me tourniquet-wrapped around her little finger already.
Let me preface all of this by saying that I really love my wife. I would characterize our relationship and marriage up until the last few weeks as as epic. This is a hard story to tell.About two months ago I had an odd/surprising conversation with my wife. We were sitting on the couch after having gotten the little one to bed and eaten dinner (including a couple of glasses of wine mind you) when she brought up the subject of monogamy and having an open/semi-open relationship.
This was a long and unexpected conversation but the gist of it and concluding agreed-upon points ended up being:
-we felt our love for each other was stronger than ever and iron-clad
-we felt our relationship had reached the point where it transcended traditional monogamy norms / that either person could potentially have sex with someone else and that it wouldn’t impact the core foundation of our relationship or our love-we agreed that if circumstances ever arose where someone wanted to have the experience of having sex with someone else it would be allowed as long as it did not interfere with time spent with each-other, with our child, and did not take away emotional capacity for each other-if it was to ever happen you had to be completely honest and safe about it / no sneaking around we both have veto power at any time over a specific person, circumstance, or the whole idea altogether (or so I thought?... read on)
Keep in mind that nothing like this has every come up before in 8 years of marriage and 12+ years of knowing each other. At the time I remember feeling a little dumbfounded that I was actually having this conversation and amazed that these words were coming out of our mouths and that my wife had initiated the whole thing...I had several girlfriends before meeting my wife but she was the first woman I ever had sex with. She, on the other hand, was sexually active at an early age and with multiple partners.
At that moment, I couldn’t h

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
I always though the third JJ Trek movie was half-way enjoyable as an action-adventure set in the Kelvin Timeline, but apparently I missed the deeper meaning of the plot.

Do you agree with the author here? I always thought that the writers only integrated the theme of workplace fatigue of (still quite young) Kelvin Kirk into the plot because Shatner Kirk had a midlife crisis during Star Trek II - IV … and that they wanted to copy old plot elements again. But for other fans the plot apparently was about so much more than listening to the Beastie Boys:
Quotes:
>“Five years after its release, Star Trek Beyond boasts newfound relevancy as a beacon of hope in the midst of real-world suffering and disease. […]
>
>But by the time director Justin Lin took over the captain’s chair for Star Trek Beyond, a fresher approach was needed. True to form, an attempt at interspecies diplomacy gone amusingly wrong segues neatly into a melancholy montage of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew under siege. It’s not another life-or-death crisis they’re grappling with, however, but the vice-like grip of routine and monotony and disillusionment setting in barely halfway through their five-year mission.
>
>At its heart, Star Trek Beyond is about finding oneself mired in a seemingly inescapable — and shockingly ordinary — rut.
>
>To Captain Kirk in particular, his closet of sharply pressed Starfleet uniforms only represents an endless passage of days, one hardly distinguishable from the last. (“Things have started to feel a little… episodic,” he ruefully notes in his Captain’s log.) Familiar milestones marking the turn of the calendar — like an upcoming birthday — have instead become depressive burdens. The final frontier, that formidable yet awe-inspiring sea of possibility and potential teeming with life, has never felt so bleak and empty. […]

>Through good moments and bad, Star Trek has unwaveringly committed to making sense of current events and recent history. But in a world irrevocably touched by COVID-19, resulting in prolonged stay-at-home orders that have made many of our daily routines frustratingly cyclical, **it’s nigh impossible to watch Beyond without gaining a new appreciation for its propheti

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
