   I’m asking because I’m not only just that clueless but even more clueless than that:

   Is there some of generally accepted protocol in these situations about letting the guy know? I’m certain NOT suggesting that women “need” to do that, it’s obviously totally up to them, I’m just wondering if it’s considered the, uh, the more socially acceptable response.

   You know, like “rules” about how long one should wait after a friend’s breakup to pursue the person that the friend broke up with and that sort of thing. Not binding, just…what’s generally accepted.

   Thank you and take care. :-)

   It’s VERY situational.

   Observation -> Self-criticism providing no undiscovered insight -> Personal self-abuse. I can’t believe Bruno has still not grown not just tired of the repetitiveness but of her own inability to respond. Or unwillingness to respond, rather, and the reasons for THAT.

   I guess some mice are condemned to run inside the slick unyielding enamel of their containers until they drop from exhaustion. Tiring to watch for long, really.

   I remember one of Bruno’s friends making certain that another of Bruno’s friends got her pregnant without him knowing she was making it a certainty (which if I’m not mistaken and frankly what are the odds of that constitutes lying about using birth control), after which she left town to raise the child with the plan to never tell him the child existed. I personally (and, as noted, cluelessly) thought that was…well, just plain creepy and wrong, but maybe I’m underestimating the extent to which it’s presumed by some women that men aren’t nearly as capable of loving children as women are. Or whatever the heck the underlying premise is. I just honestly really don’t know. I’ve never been in a position for this sort of thing to affect my life and I don’t anticipate that changing.

   “It’s VERY situational.”

   It occurred to me, a day after the fact, that this kind of begs the question of whether there are specific situations in which declining to tell the guy, well, “simply isn’t DONE.”

   I…can’t think of another example of the kind of unwritten rules I’m talking about other than the one about breakups, though. And I only remember that one from an episode of “Seinfeld.”

   @Ronald, anything is done if one does it. There are no rules to life that I know of, but there are repercussions. As stated: it’s situational.

    I’m failing to make myself clear so I’ll drop it. My apologies.
