Good thing none of them can come after him for child support. ;p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40676 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:36:10 +0000 Rosie Girl 40676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I don't know if a man should be proud of those numbers or not! On one hand, man he must have some good sperm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40655 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:20:23 +0000 tequiero21 40655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hm. i wouldn't be upset if he did it before we met and he disclosed it. (i would be a bit upset if a woman just knocked on the door and told me about his kid and he never mentioned donating).... but i would be pretty upset if i found out he had 74 kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40633 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:03:25 +0000 Boogs 40633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: I know that's an incredible number! There's reports of people having hundreds of kids, too. I would worry about one of our kids accidentally dating or marrying a half sibling one day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40632 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:02:53 +0000 ecogirl 40632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think he was even more wonderful than he already is for helping a couple complete their family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40627 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:00:34 +0000 Rosie Girl 40627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: 74 kids! That would bother me! It would bother me if I knew he had other kids. I would rather not know if he had any or not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40619 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 12:49:11 +0000 Boogs 40619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would bother me. There was a show or documentary I saw where a guy donated sperm in the past and his kid came with her mom to meet him. He ended up having 74 kids that he knew of. More on that here: <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/watch-as-a-woman-finds-out-her-fiance-has-fathered-over-74-children/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theblaze.com/stories/watch-as-a-woman-finds-out-her-fiance-has-fathered-over-74-children/</a> Now that would especially bug me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40617 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 12:47:51 +0000 MsMamaBear 40617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the beginning, but then I'd be like, oh,well. What's done is done. Long as the only other donations go to me, I'm good. :)LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40615 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 12:45:01 +0000 Rosie Girl 40615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His past is his past. But if he did it while we were together, then I would be upset.</p> <p>Thats odd I know because I might think about considering selling my eggs! I guess I want all of him to me though?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40589 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:58:36 +0000 HabesBabe 40589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: well said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40586 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:47:14 +0000 eupenmalmody 40586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Well said - and I completely agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40573 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:32:41 +0000 loveisstrange 40573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't really care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40565 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:22:49 +0000 lemondrop 40565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have control over what each other did in the past, only what we have done since we have been together. Certainly not something worth losing sleep over to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40560 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:10:27 +0000 chopsuey 40560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so. Especially if he was young and it was before we met. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40558 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:09:20 +0000 Maysprout 40558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He makes good babies but I would feel a bit uneasy but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-it-bother-you-if-your-so-previously-donated-sperm#post-40554 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:03:22 +0000 eupenmalmody 40554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband told me early on that when he was in college (back in the early 90s), he and a bunch of his fraternity brothers went to a sperm bank to donate their sperm for the cash. Only a few of them were accepted to donate (my husband was one of them). He claims that he was told his sperm was just a number and it would be completely private with the receiver having no way to contact the donor.</p> <p>I'm 100% OK with his past, and even if someone showed up today claiming to be his child, I would be ok with it. I'm not sure how I would feel if it wasn't so far in his past and if it wasn't a fraternity "outing" - but I wonder, would you be ok if your SO donated his sperm previously? </p>
