I've said it before and I'll say it again fair rarity is the cuties win paired with a human!!
Aww![:rainbowkiss:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowkiss.png)
Except the part were it's not even close to being the same thing! Is this guy even for real right now, he's trying to convince himself that being cuckolded is the same as adoption. Good god Rarity I'm sorry but if a chick tells you she is willing to commit what is tantamount to paternity fraud for your sake is some next level crazy you need to get away from.
Doug you are barely human. Everything about you and how you interact with people is so far from normal that you are either not human or you need some heavy therapy or be heavily medicated.
This is what gets me, this is not a bad story it just falls into a... trope I guess you can say that a lot of other HiEs do. That's an HiE with a good story but the only thing bad about it is the human character. I can't for the life of me understand why that is the case with a lot of HiEs.

You're right, it's closer to marrying a single mother, especially one who was never married to the father. Paternity fraud/cuckolding, though, is quite different (and wrong), with the difference being whether or not the stepfather is aware of the fact. Unfortunately for Doug (at least, as far as he is currently aware), he doesn't have many choices besides step-father, adopted father, or stay childless and hope something changes later. And if Rarity wants to marry/herd up with him, and at the same time wants foals? It's a lousy decision either way.
Doug doesn't exactly have the luxury of getting away from everypony who does something he doesn't agree with, much as I would advise a friend in a similar situation to do so. Applejack tried to pimp him out earlier! (Or at least gave the okay for what he saw as cheating on her.) So he tries to convince them to act otherwise, but he's both very good at separating himself from the situation (detached, perhaps unhealthily so) and very apprehensive about appearing like the 'monster'. Maybe I just do a poor job of portraying him reeling that anger in, and need to be more explicit about the reactions he (and everypony else) has.
As far as the 'acting human' part... This is probably something that requires a blog post to dig into instead of the comment section, and I'll create one if you're interested in continuing this more in depth. I do want to create characters (especially the human OC) that are relatable.
I'm reminded of a scene in Big Bang Theory where one of Sheldon Cooper's students calls his presentation style 'robotic' and Sheldon takes this as a compliment. (Yes, I know the character is a caricature.) He values the logical (reasoned, robotic) response, in opposition to the emotional (passionate, human) one. Is unbridled rage the only legitimate response a human can give to something that pisses them off?
9964138 More like this human is an utter pussy, barely has any spine, and is a doormat. Its like Rarity pretty much confirmed that she was willing to go behind his back, get knocked up by any stallion out there and then say that the child is his, if I find out that my girl did that to me I am leaving her, no questions asked, taking all my shit and walking out of their life and cutting all connections. Only the most spineless, weakest-willed, pussy-whipped humans would just accept this out of the blue without fighting back that their girl is a cheating skank.

When you walk in on your girl cheating on you with another man, uh...yeah, unbridled rage is the only legitimate response, and when she then says that she is willing to go behind your back to get knocked up by some random person, and present the child as yours and say its yours, yeah, unbridled rage as well cause she is willing to betray you like that, what else is she willing to do behind your back?

You might be right in saying you're not be getting across what you want and you may think (by your last comment) what I said was wrong but what you've written is what I'm going by not what you're head canon is... what Rarity was planning on doing was absolutely paternity fraud and and what doug was convincing himself of might not be full-on cuckold but it's really damn close. But either way and this is nothing against you but by your last comment if you really think this way (about the relationship stuff not him acting human stuff) this story is going to go in a very depressing direction where Doug is just going to be stuck taking care of a lot of dudes kids and on top of that being ok with it if that's not cuckold idk what is.

You're not wrong.
This chapter hits deep in there relationship and in my heart.
I guess my biggest issue with this chapter is how Doug acted. Being absolutely livid at Rarity was good, but then not a few minutes later he's fine. She basically admitted to going behind his back and basically cheating on him. Even if they didn't 'break up' he probably shouldn't have forgiven her so quickly or at least have made her earn that forgiveness back.
Friend? Wtf

This may be putting myself down......but i could actually see myself reacting similarly to some of the situations the mc finds himself in. I am the type that just lets everything just flow right by.....if anyone insults me *shrugs* my life isnt what id like *shrug* etc. However when something happens that i cant just quickly shrug off i have a bad habit of getting right up in front of the problem and try to act real tough and hope my size is enough to get whoever it is thats the source of the problem to back down. Though i would never strike someone or any living breathing organism....if i had to lash out physically id likely kick or punch a wall or kick a trashcan or something.

I lost a LOT of respect for Rarity last chapter, and was really looking forward to her at least making an attempt to make it up to him. This? What even is this? First she basically throws herself at Shining, asking for a foal, and then when MC gets mad she LITERALLY offers him a mop to clean up the mud on her floor!? Dude, you can't make it to the door fast enough. It would be one thing to talk it out and find a trusted friend to stud for his mares, so that he could have children...but for Rarity to just go out and decide on her own? Fuck that static. The worst part IMO, is the way you (the author) made a joke of her betrayal and made MC get mad about them playing O&O.
Fuck, I feel sorry for Shining, he didn't sign up for this shit.

I can completely understand that. Rarity went out of order, finding that 'trusted friend' before she got the okay from her partner. Her intentions might have been valid, but the lying and subterfuge aspects were not. She certainly will have some ground to cover to actually make it up to him.
Doug's reaction to seeing the two of them, knowing his interpretation of their actions, was overblown. I confess that's partially due to wanting to subvert expectations, of how this would have gone in a sit-com or something where he gets mad at her for cheating. The real blow-up should have been when Rarity reveals her intentions, of coming back to him with a foal and claiming it is his.

Exactly, and this point here, that she was planning on getting studded and claiming it was his... It'd be at that point that I'd be walking out, and not looking back. I don't know any man who isn't head over heels that wouldn't do the same, and such a thing has broken hearts more times than can be counted. If I was Doug here, I'd have walked outta Rarity's life, with a 'I might eventually be able to forgive you enough to be a friend, but nothing more than that.' And in my anger, I would prolly have pointed out how Dishonest and Disloyal such a move would be, and if I was really angry, told her that I hope she was right about her not being pregnant from me, as I would want nothing more to do with her.
That he brushes it off so easily.... Yeah, I cannot connect with him anymore, which is sad, this was looking like a good series.

Fair enough; I think I went too far in this chapter (and the previous) of subverting the expected reaction and not giving him enough of an emotional response to a very trying circumstance. He doesn't want to ostracize one of the few ponies who has shown him any amount of respect, and is quick to forgive, perhaps too quick, and trying to rationalize what should have been a deal-breaker into something less. Doug's response in the next few chapters is certainly closer to how you would have reacted than what you fear, though.
