Like i said to someone above, about 2 or 3 months ago he was still very much childfree, i just think thats a very short time to completely change your mind from wanting 0 children, to 5 children and then planning to have one next year with a girl hes been with for 8 months.

And i've been there for my mate for 13 years, i like to think that i know him pretty darn well, i've been there to help him pick up pieces from his mistakes before, and hes been there for me with mine, do you not think you know your best friend well after that long? Its an experience thing. I don't think its arrogant. It's just a strong friendship. A bromance as you will.
