What thread outcomes that never got posted are you curious about?

Which thread were you invested in where perhaps the OP stopped posting or the thread died and you never got to know the outcome?

For me there are two:

The one where the lady got her heart broken by a Jewish guy who just suddenly dumped her.

A more recent one where a girl was "exclusive" with guy she hadn't heard from in 3 weeks and she went out and bought him birthday presents anyway. He then posted pics on Instagram of his bday celebrations which she wasn't invited to. She messaged him and I would love to know if he replied and what happened.

You go....

OP posts:

The lady who’s husband was always off on holidays and using the joint credit card.

LegsOfJelly · 12/05/2022 21:15

Weirdly I was thinking about the school.trust fall one recently. I think they were all closing ranks and denying responsibility, I hope the outcome was OK in the end for the OP and her DC.

There was a long running thread some time ago by a woman who was planning to leave her DH and was stashing away loads of things and money- she nicked a sports bag full of cash from him as part of her preparations.

So many and a few of think of also especially all the women escaping or trying to escape abuse. The one that just came to my mind now though is the woman asking what was in her bed, she thought it was a fake eyelash and asked everyone their thoughts as she was away and thought the husband could have had another woman over. Anyone remember that one.. not sure what the photo she posted looked like, was a cross between a fake eyelash and a tassle.

Haven’t read the full thread so this may have been mentioned but there was a woman a few years ago- her username was something like Briar Rose- and her husband had an affair while she had toddler aged twins. Maybe circa 2015/16 but I might be wrong. Her husband was horrible, just cut her off and I think he ended up engaged to the mistress with a huge fanfare. The OP was just so lovely and was put through hell, I’ve always wondered what happened to her and the twins and how she is now.

Cattenberg · 12/05/2022 21:19

If she’s the woman who was filling a storage unit, I think she was called Coats Protection League.

I’d love to know if all her careful planning paid off. I do hope so.

The woman who was tricked into moving to NZ and had a horrendous time with alcohol inlaws and couldn't leave. She stopped posting. I worry about her. She was so incredibly down.

I wonder about this lady too. I hope she managed to get away from her crazy in-laws.

Oops, I should have quoted @LegsOfJelly

The one about the 16 year old boy and his controlling girlfriend. It ran for years and several threads. MNHQ closed it down. I often wonder what happened, it was heartbreaking to read the Mothers helplessness.

She did finally post on one of her threads that wasn't full that her son and the girlfriend had broken up and all was ok.

Rogue1001MNer · 12/05/2022 21:24

running in the rain - the text dumping and she was the most amazingly strong woman - I hope she has found someone worthy of her love

Oh yes! This one.
I hope she found someone to appreciate her

MangosteenSoda · 12/05/2022 21:24

The lady on a remote farm in South America. Starry Night?? She had some big ass dogs who would pin down any intruders 😁

Unfortunately, I remember she was poorly and had a difficult relationship with her parents and was worried about her DC’s future (her own health depending).

Think about her and hope her DC is doing well, whatever else happened.

chisanunian · 12/05/2022 21:24

Totally honest answer is that I don't get all that invested in threads. Some of them are a laugh, but I don't really care think about them much at all. The real-time drama ones tend to get a raised eyebrow...

I've got just one long-running thread I'm watching at the moment, and that's it.

The one where the woman’s husband was supposed to be in Portugal and she tracked him in north Spain!
Found out by trying to find her airpods!!!

Was that not a troll? It was all about Bristol Airport and posters were looking up flights etc.

AlternativePerspective · 12/05/2022 21:29

the woman tracking her husband via his AirPods was a troll.

Summerville got married and had another baby I think but IRC there was an illness or something afterwards and I can’t remember. But I’m not entirely sure it was the complete happy ending.

The poster with the twins was AufiliaRose who I believe was pretty much suspected of being a troll.

I don’t get overly invested in threads either. Although one springs to mind where a woman was pregnant and her bf had dumped her but had said his parents would be raising the baby. She received a solicitors letter saying that when the baby was born she was to let them know so the MIL could come and collect it.

Was it OpheliaRose? I was thinking about that one the other day. I vaguely remember suggestions that it was a troll.

I still think about Somerville, also GettingBigger who escaped a horrifically abusive husband. And tomatoplantproject, whose architect husband was a self-serving bellend.

“Other kid obsessed with my DS”

Went to 30 days board and now I’m left wondering how that child is!

This one! She was called Coatsprotectionleague, I think. I always hope she managed to get away - was planning everything so carefully.

Redshoeblueshoe · 12/05/2022 21:33

Some of these I remember - like Lobster Boy and that was a fair while ago, but I'm so impressed people can remember usernames

Rogue1001MNer · 12/05/2022 21:35

Unfortunately I've got a current one. It's a woman who's been betrayed by her dh with someone he then brought into their friendship group.
She's gone v quiet on the thread, and I suspect that means she's going with the status quo, which she was under pressure to do. I suspect she's reluctant to update for this.
I keep thinking of sliding doors (the film)

Badger1970 · 12/05/2022 21:35

There was a very troubled young Mum who used to post - think her name was RedStripeLass or something similar, then she popped back up as Cocodemoll. She was so troubled - her DH was an absolute waster of an alcoholic/drug user and she'd had 2 kids with him. She was so blindly in love and prioritised him over the kids. It was one of the rare occasions where I used to pray that SS were involved. Each subsequent thread from her made your heart ache even more, I often think of those poor 2 kids caught up in it all.

I'm sure she posted the other week. It was tl;dr and no paragraphs, but she referenced the son/girlfriend in the first few lines.

DFOD · 12/05/2022 21:36

I remember the woman who had 2 sons and had left her nightmare husband years before and he stitched her up financially. He got to live in huge family home with new 25 year old GF and the oldest son about 12 was really mean to the OP. Seems that the xH was trying to alienate the boys and she had to call the police when they weren’t returned.

She had a new partner who was ill and struggling financially and then they had a baby girl but the older son was very negative about the baby.

Her life sounded really tough.

AlternativePerspective · 12/05/2022 21:38

I can’t see how anyone thought that OphiliaRose was anything but a trol.She was e.g. posting on mn that her husband was coming up the driveway right now at the time she was posting, typical troll behaviour, and had about 5 threads in about 2 weeks with increasingly weird titles such as “ophiliaRose looking sexy in her skinny jeans” claiming it was some sort of fuck you to the husband.

Baffles me that people take those kinds of threads seriously.

30not13 · 12/05/2022 21:40

Red coffee cup - I do hope she is still peacefully drinking from it.

Ddrmum who's ex kept her son from her after a contact visit.

Often think of both 💜

That poster’s threads are constantly being deleted.

She is forever posting and it seems evident that she doesn’t have her children’s best interests at heart at all. Posters give her advice and then she comes back. IIRC the last time she posted MN HQ removed the thread and said they were communicating with her off board.
