There was a thread a long time ago now where the OP had found out that her DH was having an affair and she kept coming back to update saying she would leave if he did xyz.

She would leave if she found out he contacted the OW, and of course he did, she came back to update that she would leave if he did it again, he did it again. It was just a continuation of her drawing a line and him constantly stepping over it. It didn’t seem to matter what he did she always found another reason to not leave while he treated her like shit. I always wonder if she ever did get the courage to leave or if she’s still there and he’s still having affairs.

Keyra Thanks so much for the update! Sounds like you have the best of both worlds- long may it continue!

What happened to Tiny Plasterer? Grin

Weenurse · 09/01/2020 21:33

@Keyra, thanks for letting us know what happened.
Sounds like you have made some friends

Gosh Lady you have a good memory! TP is persona non grata (is that the right expression?!). He kept letting CG down and taking himself off to Spain every few weeks! CG is now using an absolutely massive plasterer (AMP?) who is actually very good looking. But that’s a route I’m absolutely and definitely not going down!

Keyra · 10/01/2020 09:39

Weenurse you’re welcome! I reread the thread last night and it made me smile - so thank you for giving me the impetus to do that.

Weenurse · 10/01/2020 22:44

@Keyra you are welcome 💐

Sorry cant turn it into a proper link.

Also the lady with her children trying to return to UK from an abusive H
she only had her mum with a tiny flat. OP had to do it secretly as the H would have stopped her.

A while ago there were a couple of long-running CF neighbours threads.

One poster shared the access road with other houses and one set of neighbours was appalling, nasty and obstructive and harassed even the young daughter. Police were involved.

The other was an American , I think. She and her husband had moved from London to a village and the very elderly neighbours and visiting family were really nasty. Other neighbours parked on the street in the most deliberately awkward way. It all sounded very stressful.

I'd love to know what happened, if of course they were genuine in the first place.

iknowimcoming · 11/01/2020 14:26

As above the American lady - sunshine something? - had installed fencing and was doing loads of renovations to the house and the neighbours kept coming into her garden and telling her off for changing the house - I think police/ss had to get involved and she stopped posting

Laughterisbest · 11/01/2020 19:59

iknowimcoming

That's the one. I'd love to know if it got sorted out in the end.

beanaseireann · 11/01/2020 20:11

The woman who was having a terrible time with her husband. I think tjey were on holidays in US and she said she'd separate when she got home. Their children were with them.
Does anyone remember ?
It was in 2019.

ChilliandLemon · 11/01/2020 21:06

What happened with the one where the dog kept sniffing the OP’s DH and she was worried it was something serious and everyone told her to get him to the GP.

bettybattenburg · 11/01/2020 21:18

I remember oddsocks, cupoftea and fv45, I hope they are ok.

@DownWhichOfLate Sorry for late reply, I got a message I’d been mentioned but have been so busy. I’m still here, sort of, I don’t come on mn often now as I’ve stopped bfing so don’t sit down much anymore also I know my updates piss people off so I try not to post too much. But for those interested: Fil has been kicked out of various homes for violence And we have been paying £6k per month for his care as he keeps ‘just’ failing the criteria for chc funding and his flat won’t sell. ds1 has finally been dx with dyslexia (although our Ed psych doesn’t recognise dyslexia as a thing Confused ) The school do suspect asd but it’s so high functioning it won’t be referred. Ds2 is struggling as can’t sit still or concentrate so school have mentioned adhd dx. No one sleeps still - at least not on their own or before 10.30! Boys spend all their time fighting so the house is a war zone. Dd is displaying some very rigid behaviours so we are keeping an eye on her (she refuses to wee and holds it for between 24-48 hours every time, won’t wear trousers or coats etc). Dh and I have decided to separate but it’s really hard as neither can leave and we can’t sell the house. My longest and closest friend died the Sunday after Christmas - which is why I’m procrastinating on here, as I have to write the eulogy and I’m putting it off. Sorry if it’s boring. I’m determined this year will be better. I’ve signed up to some online courses (Prince2 etc) and I’m trying to get back to work in 18 months when dd starts school. Strangely enough I feel quite positive though. I feel a new chapter coming on. Right, now I must get on and write this horrible thing.

WeCameToDance · 13/01/2020 12:48

There is two that I often wonder about. The one with the wealthy pil's and the expensive glass that got smashed. I think the fil expected to have it replaced even though the op was pregnant and money was quite tight.
The other one was a few years ago and the op was noticing strange going ons around their home. I think it was Christmas decorations being left outside in strange places and odd people being spotted around. It was really creepy and I hope it all turned out to be innocent in the end.

TightPants · 13/01/2020 14:48

I often think about the poster who had escaped her abusive ex and her bank had given him her new address.
She’d had to go to a hotel to stay safe.
I lost the thread somehow - does anyone know what happened?

clairethewitch70 · 13/01/2020 15:01

I often think about @Rockerfella who was having a miracle baby against all the odds.

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 13/01/2020 15:27

Oh god, I remember so many of these! I'm curious all over again..

poppet31 · 13/01/2020 16:12

There was one fairly recently where the OPs husband was in hospital fighting for his life and she had young children. Her mother had come to look after the kids but had left again and wouldn't come back. I felt really sorry for her and she had such little support and a lot of people had posted asking how they could help. Lost the thread but hope she's okay.

LochJessMonster · 13/01/2020 16:49

What about the one where their child was at an after school club and was made to do a 'trust fall' from a table that went wrong and they hit their head on the floor? No one from the club was taking any responsibility. Anyone know what happened in the end?

also, @TightPants one about the poster whose bank gave her new address to her abusive ex.

I think that one turned out to be a troll Sad it was all very convincing, was very creepy, but I'm sure it all turned out to be fake.. could be wrong though!

Softzilla is literally the only one!

wizbit93 · 13/01/2020 19:36

@MrsKoala I'm so sorry to read your update. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate at the mo (when did you never!). I always lurked on your threads and for what it's worth they never pissed me off! I always looked out for your updates.
Hang in thereThanks

Weenurse · 14/01/2020 09:39

@MrsKoala thanks for letting us know how you are getting on.
I hope this year improves things for you and your family 💐

There are a couple I was thinking of recently:

A poster who was phoned by her son’s school on a Friday (day she posted) to tell her to come for a meeting on Monday. Apparently two teachers had been suspended for writing about her son on social media. The OP didn’t know the nature of the remarks or who it was. She didn’t update with details (don’t blame her btw) so I wondered what they’d written. Very upsetting if it was something unpleasant.

A friend of a friend of the OP had illegally accessed the OPs medical records (F of F was a GP) and OP was upset and angry but unsure whether or not to report them. GP would probably lose job/ be struck off if she did. Op thanked everyone for their advice and said she’d made a decision on what to do, but didn’t say what. Again, that’s fair enough, but does leave you wondering!
