To end this relationship because DP won't stop posting about me

DP won't stop posting about me on MN. Our relationship has nearly come to an end several times because of it. She has promised never to do it again because it upsets me, but she still does it. Dirty washing, events, hobbies, health, tragedies. It's like a biography. I have no control about what's private in my life anymore. Help me understand why she can't help herself. Or should I just accept she will keep doing it and end it all?

Most of those things aren't exactly private - eg hobbies and dirty laundry.
YANBU about other things though. If it makes you uncomfortable then leave.
I do think there's a big difference between mentioning she's struggling if you're off work sick or in hospital (for eg) and telling mn about your piles. But either way you have the right to end a relationship for whatever reason you choose - either way it's not unreasonable to do so

Stop giving her so much material and reason to be miserable with you then.

Are you a man op? If you are a woman I am sure plenty will be along soon to tell you she is disrespecting you and is emotionally abusive. Any time soon you will be told to Ltb. If you are a man however, you will be dismissed as feeble. That's mn!

I don't, but it is 1am (AEST) and I'm knackered.
Either way, if you are this uncomfortable or for any other reason you can leave your relationship and probably should by the sounds of it

It is private... it's an anonymous forum!
My DP doesn't like me telling people I know in RL private stuff about us, but has no problem with it online anonymously.

People usually post because theyre looking for advice and to vent about things they arent happy with - if she needs to post about literally every part of your life then maybe you should start sorting some of that stuff out so shes not so unhappy about it all?

Pick up your crap, do your fair share and stop treating your dp like a servant.
Ps you could be anyone's dp on mn, most of us are giving out about the same stuff daily. Any chance you could narrow it down for us so we can work out which threads you are referring to Grin

"Our relationship has nearly come to an end several times because of it. "

Is there a thread about that? "My DP is threatening to leave because I keep posting about our relationship"?
No? Then hooray! She is respecting your wishes!*
Yes? LTB.

*Or, if she didn't post a thread like that, how can you be telling the truth?

What a deep solipsical puzzle you pose, OP.

P.S tell her to be more 'outing' in her posts!

Well, you could read her posts and work out what's upsetting her to the point that she keeps coming to Mumsnet for advice. No? Didn't think so. To answer your question, no you wouldn't be U to end your relationship for any reason. Neither would she.

hate to burst your bubble OP but I don't have a clue who you are.

Now put the bike back and go do something to help make your home a more habitual place for you all.

End it all, OP, is MN driving your thoughts to suicide?

Should you be calling the Samaritans?

I think you need to read what people have said about what she is asking,
Sometimes it means you can ask if she doesn't know your name and maybe get answers yourself.

Well, can't she just NC? Are the issues she's posting about so particular? As dirty washing is hardly outing.

Or don't you appreciate the advice she's given?
