Normally there are other people worse off in the world than ourselves. Doesnt mean people have no right to feel anything.

Sorry, but I do think it's unfair of you to think people should modify their posts to keep you happy!

Would you say to someone who had abusive or toxic parents... well at least you had parents?

Nothing wrong with feeling sorry for yourself sometimes. Life can be shit no matter what your circumstances.

Meh. We all have to have somewhere to vent. People who we live in close proximity to have a tendency to piss us off Grin
I have no dp so no one to moan about. :) However my mum is like the second parent in our house, I would be utterly lost without her but it doesn't stop me from having a moan about her sometimes.

Yes, yabu. Unless you have lived with a bad man, you have no idea how much better off you are.

Theres a thread atm about mums who have had premature babies saying how they feel cheated out of that last trimester and how hard it is to handle a SCBU situation. Wibu to say "at least you have your baby?" YES. My situation does.not stop them thinking or feeling hard done by and they are in a shitty situation which warrants no justification.

YABU because many many women (and men) with fuckwit partners either are or feel they are trapped. How dare you minimise their hardship because, in your eyes, your situation is worse.

Well, I was one of those women complaining about my husband. I have to say that since he disappeared from the scene things are much easier and considerably less painful, even when I am doing all the work on my own.

So, don't assume that just because they are not alone, they are doing better than you.

I didn't say that at all. And I am on about the people that slate there husbands for silly things, not abusive or bad relationships! Believe me I've had my fair share of horrific men.

You don't have to be in an abusive relationship to be unhappy, and in any case who are you to judge? the only person who really knows how bad things are in a relationship is the person in the relationship. (everyone thought my ex was the perfect husband, only I knew he has always been the twat he is now that we are divorced)

Silly to you

I think getting het up about parent and child spaces silly, but I dont comment on the threads or start AIBUs about how silly the complainers are.

ABitterPIL · 30/11/2013 00:47

Yep you are feeling sorry for yourself but is there a need to try to stop others doing the same. Why not just say it is shit that my dcs dad isnt involved in my life and i envious of 2 parent families.

It is ok to feel like that. Not ok to make others feel guilty about their feelings.
