I blame you lot. Thanks.

Last night dh's friend was telling him all about his recent visit to a lap dancing bar. I told him he and his mates were a bunch of twats and I was disgusted at them all, especially since they all have partners.

I also told dh if I ever found out he'd done the same it'd be the absolute last thing he ever did.

So my nest of vipers, thank you for giving me the confidence to handle a situation I've always found disgusting, but wouldn't have ever spoken out about until I joined here.

X-posts Buffy!

So every time someone says "I could have killed him/her" or "I wanted to strangle him/her" you call the police, do you? And how does that go for you?

Sorry reviewsie

Oh just drop it.
You made your point

Everyone disagrees.
Enough said.

Yougotbale · 03/10/2013 19:08

Scallop - totally agree. As I have said many times, standing up for yourself and setting boundaries is fantastic.

Leaving abuse out of these processes is a must, agree?

I only differ because have seen what was said as abusive. That is all.

Beachcomber · 03/10/2013 19:04

No, I don't like your accusations that the OP threatened her partner with murder. I don't like them at all.

Mainly because they are offensive but also because they are deliberately stupid.

Beachcomber · 03/10/2013 19:02

Woman Expresses Opinion to Menz and Uses Figure of Speech Shocker!!

It is just so Daily Fail. And stupid.

scallopsrgreat · 03/10/2013 19:02

The OP didn't deal with it like a kid in a playground comingalongnicely. It is offensive and dismissive to suggest that standing up for yourself is akin to behaving like a child.

Threads like this really do show how much men dislike women stating opinions, setting boundaries and disagreeing with them.

Yougotbale · 03/10/2013 19:01

Beach, it's my opinion but I suppose if you don't like it, report it.

ReviewsOffers · 03/10/2013 18:59

But if you were black and they were joking about the attending the Black and White Minstrel Club, right there in front of you? Someone used that analogy above and I think it's apt.

You wouldn't say Oh you have no right to be angry, you should just suck it up, and be nice and quiet. Nobody would expect that, would they? Everyone would understand the anger was justified, and when people are angry they may be, er, less than diplomatic.

Beachcomber · 03/10/2013 18:58

You know what gets my goat about goady stupid crap claiming a woman threatened to kill her husband when she quite obviously did nothing of the sort?

It is that it makes a mockery of actual real domestic violence.

Slow Hand Clap for Yougotbale.

I know women must be made to STFU at all costs but do you not see how offensive it is for you to come on this thread and accuse Manchesterhistorygirl, who is a real live person of threatening her partner with murder? I'm now off to report your posts as IMO they are offensive personal attacks.

Manchesterhistorygirl - good on you for speaking out. Ignore all the crap, and keep up the good work.

Yougotbale · 03/10/2013 18:56

Lol. I did the feeding though, if that's what you want to call me.

You bothered to search for that? Or is it a diet aid?

comingalongnicely · 03/10/2013 18:55

I'm honestly trying to envisage a situation where my wife has a mate over & they're chatting & I wade in calling them a bunch of twats etc. and I can't, honestly, think of a time it'd be acceptable.

No matter how strongly I felt on the subject, I don't think that dealing with it like a kid in the playground would imply that I was in any way competent to talk about it like an adult.

And I don't care if you're male or female, it doesn't matter in this case - no need to be an ignorant fucker.

As to those complaining about the "DV" threat the OP made - Grow Up for fucks sake.

Yougotbale · 03/10/2013 18:43

Fucker - I've only just eaten. It's my view point. If it will make everyone happy I'll change my mind. I agree with everyone that isn't wrong on here.

AnyFucker · 03/10/2013 18:37

Ygb, for God's sake go and make yourself a sandwich, you are digging a hole deeper than the one currently between your ears. I am embarassed for you.

Yougotbale · 03/10/2013 18:30

Buffy - it may have been jokingly.however, it sounds bad to me. I would feel abusive if I said that to someone

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 03/10/2013 18:29

To make out the op 'made threats' and was abusive is, in the great words of reviewsoffers, fucking stupid.

Sab - not goady if I perceive a threat is used. Setting boundaries are healthy.

Spottybra · 03/10/2013 18:26

Pre mn and dd I wouldn't have thought twice about anyone visiting or working in a lap dancing club.

Post mn and dd I say good on you.

ReviewsOffers · 03/10/2013 18:22

it's fucking stupid to pretend you thought she meant she was actually going to kill her partner.

No body thinks that in RL

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 03/10/2013 18:21

It's a very goady opinion to call a woman, who is pleased to have spoken out, and laid some boundaries for her husband's behaviour in front of his misogynistic friend, "abusive."

That's my opinion, and I'm calling you on yours.

Yougotbale · 03/10/2013 18:18

It reads abusive to me and controlling. Please allow me to have an opinion. I have accepted from the start that you have a differing opinion to me. It's ok, you know
