Mumsnet making me paranoid

31 replies

Every other thread I read is about the husband cheating or leaving, and even if they’re not someone puts two and two together and comes up with 73. “Dh put the bins out a day earlier than normal” “Dh touched his ear weirdly when I asked him why he wasn’t hungry” “Dh went to a different petrol station this week”. LEAVE HIM!! He’s definitely having an affair.

Am I the only one now paranoid and constantly looking for signs of an affair even though my marriage is great?!

A lot of the threads on here aren’t real and many are designed to create panic. If Putin sneezes I know we’ll get a whole bunch of ‘we’re all getting nuked’ threads.

Me too. I have been on Mumsnet for over a decade now but I often delete the app for a few months because of this. It can get in my head a bit and then my tendency to overthink kicks in.

Same here - I have to take regular breaks from this place. I wish I could stay away permanently but there’s some good stuff here amongst the horribly toxic.

MN can be very toxic and anti men. A lot of women on here have had bad experiences with men and will always see the worst and think everyone should get rid of their partner for the tiniest slight.

It’s hard to remain objective when it’s all over the forum but you have to remember that in comparison to the rest of the U.K., MN is representative of a very small portion.

MN has definitely made me think worse of men in general, and to look closer at some of the men in my life and wonder if their wives are happy. But not my DH.

Its always #NotAllMen and I'm happy to point at dh as being in that disclaimer.

Why not YOUR DH?
