A dad has taken to social media to share about how he picked up a former side hustle again when things got tough – but only just told his wife of six years about it
A man has been slammed for donating his sperm behind his wife’s back to earn some extra money. He signed up to be a sperm donor when he was in college for ‘easy money’ and to help struggling couples bring children into the world.
But he decided to stop his donations after meeting his now-wife in his final year of school – or so he thought. Taking to Reddit, he said: “I met my wife in my last year – we have been married for about six years and I don’t donate anymore.
“We have our own children and everything is OK but a couple of years ago we went through a rough patch and I donated again to earn some money. I didn’t really tell her because I didn’t see it as a big deal and it wasn’t a lot – I got about $150 (£114) to tide us over for the week and we went on about our business. I forgot about it.”
But when out with friends who have been struggling to conceive, the conversation popped up and he decided to share word about his college donations. “I brought up that I used to be a donor and my wife was more shocked than I expected her to be,” he added.
