Original poster

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....

The missing ironing board.

😂 this one was in my early days on MN, I think about it every time I mislay something

CherrySocks · 13/05/2022 00:01

Yes these ones that have already been mentioned:
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.
and
The neighbour who left the house every morning dressed to the business nines (with lanyard) and returned 40 minutes later.
and
The woman the other night whose neighbour dropped off massage oil.

The woman whose father turned up to pick her up from work every day, wouldn't let her her travel home on her own, wouldn't let he go out with workmates after work. I hope she broke free from his control.
The OP who had a neighbour who went out to work every day but it sounded like someone was still in the house. But nobody else ever left the house and OP never saw them.

PlomBear and her little boy who had a badge that was called Birdie Friend, and it could see ghosts!

Staffy1 · 13/05/2022 00:34

I was quite invested in the thread about someone’s husband who was always outside the unit he worked at when the OP phoned and she wondered what he was doing outside. It was supposedly a troll, and strangely an MN monitor turned it into a free for all for everyone to make up their own ending, but I still would have liked to have heard the OPs conclusion.

The ironing board & the AirPods tracking one

Notarealmum · 13/05/2022 00:58

Anyone know what happened about the one posted by a chap whose wife had been seeing a possibly dodgy therapist and become convinced she’d suffered sexual abuse by a family member as a child, even though all evidence pointed to the fact it had never happened? It had wrecked their family life and he was really worried about their little boy.

beachcitygirl · 13/05/2022 01:01

Not so much want to know outcome but want to know if OP from the other day. Found out about her fil being imprisoned. Such a horrible situation for her & her dh.

Yes!

The single mum who had an accidental pregnancy & planned to have the baby adopted without anyone knowing. She changed her mind at the last minute & had to move into her Dad’s spare room with the new ‘surprise’ baby & 2? older kids. I hope she is doing ok.

AnotherTroyforHertoBurn · 13/05/2022 01:52

The one where the neighbour allegedly attached a red sail awning to the OP;s house, it was beyond belief the thread not the actions, I said as much several times, got deleted several times and then just like Keyzer Soze in a puff of smoke it was gone. The next time I spoke out ( I may have been a little direct 🙄) on another subject I picked up a ban.

What about the woman who thought her neighbour may have killed her husband as she never saw an obituary in the paper

And the woman who's neighbour was stealing all the parcels from the shed

🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐🤨🧐

The parcels in the shed thief poster was a troll

RingRingRed · 13/05/2022 02:10

For me it was the poster whose dh was raped on a stag weekend away, then was diagnosed with HIV after getting really ill.

It was over a period of a year it came out. First she posted that her dh was different after the stag, had wondered if he cheated, seemed angry all the time etc.

Then an update that he had finally told her what happened but wouldn't go to the police.

Then a long time later she said about HIV.

There are posters - some from many moons ago that I remember and it would be lovely to know how they are now.

money was a Sycamore trees or something - she was married and a barrister or something and literally buying and moving and was pregnant and found out he was having an affair and then bought it alone and had the baby and other children - I often wonder how she and her boys are - would love just to know how incredible she was

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

there was a woman north west I think who I can’t remember the name of that was being evicted and was trying to find somewhere to take her and her family and her dog / s - I hope she managed to do it.

chopinlizt and lobster boy - I have an abusive mum and so wish Chopin was my mum she was and is the most generous mum ever - I hope she is able to enjoy her other daughter and find peace and that the daughter and LB stop pulling stunts on her

wolly newty or somewhere south of sanctity or something? Husband having an affair, she was so so funny and I actually tried to find her blog the other day and couldn’t - would love to know how she and her sons are doing

opprobrium I remember her posting and then she vanished and was it ruby (?) and letty3 ? Often wonder what they are all doing and up to?

I would really love to know how sycamore trees is doing too. Her posts really touched me. I think about her every time I see a thread like this.

IEatChocolateForBreakfast · 13/05/2022 04:02

The one earlier this evening where a young women said she was being controlled by a guy online she'd never met, sending him sexual photos and he'd complain they weren't good enough. She said she was in some kind of online relationship with him, but they never met. She seemed quite vulnerable. The post was removed very quickly. I hate when that happens 😖

boronia · 13/05/2022 04:21

A thread end of last year.
Absolutely bizarre family situation where children weren't invited to Christmas dinner once they were 17 and only the elderly parents and adult ( people in their 60s) children got together. Aged parents had gone into care and the nasty old siblings wanted to come to the OPs house for Christmas.

SirYawnsAlot · 13/05/2022 04:30

One a few years ago where a woman and a man were both cleaning a building at night starting at different ends. The man kept trying to scare her. She told the manager who played it down. He turned the lights off in the corridor but she went the back way and found him hiding waiting for her. Chilling.

VitaminB34 · 13/05/2022 05:13

There was a thread a few weeks ago where someone had sex on the first date with a guy she'd met on a dating app. He'd love bombed her for weeks in advance while he was in another country. Got her to video chat his mum and similarly weird things. He fully lost interest the morning after they had sex.

She'd named the city, his nationality, age and which country he'd gone on holiday to. I remember because I live in the same city and use a dating app - different one to hers. Hinge rather than Bumble.

Two weeks ago I went on a first date with a guy who was the same nationality. Thought it was probably just a coincidence. He was polite and charismatic, though I left it as one drink.

After the date he messaged me non-stop for two weeks. I mean from 7am, inviting me to his house in another country, inviting me on holiday somewhere else in the UK, offering to fix things in any house I buy, asking why I hadn't responded to messages etc.

I thought it was weird and replied infrequently explaining that I don't like messaging much.

He invited me to have dinner and drinks at his house as a second date. As soon as I explained that I'd never go home with someone I'd only met once, he abruptly stopped messaging.

Not 100% certain it was the same guy, but seems likely. So that was how I got an unofficial update on a thread...

saggyhairyass · 13/05/2022 05:24

Nothing specific but I wonder about the women on the Relationships board who are writing in desperation and needing support. I hope they get away.

autienotnaughty · 13/05/2022 05:31

The awful one of the woman who's disabled son wasn't invited to a family wedding. I wondered if they stood their ground.

The lady who's husband was supposed to be in Portugal playing golf but then was discovered to be in Spain.

ouch12345 · 12/05/2022 22:47

There was a thread recently where a woman had gone into her husbands office with her children and the woman had given her a strange look and I think maybe her husband never answered his desk phone when he was in work? I may well be getting two threads mixed up here but it seemed to disappear.

There was also a thread about a woman who's husband received a strange message in the post and people were speculating it had come from a mens mental health charity / stalker. The OP thought it was very strange.

My memory is shocking.

Do you mean the one where everytime she rang work he was outside so she was worried he was talking to someone. Think she was planning to 'turn up' and surprise him.

VitaminB34 · 13/05/2022 05:49

No, it was one posted in April this year.

VitaminB34 · 13/05/2022 05:50

Wrong thread - sorry!

Tryhard40 · 13/05/2022 05:57

The lady who's husband was supposed to be in Portugal playing golf but then was discovered to be in Spain.

This is the one I wonder about - there was no conclusion was there? I SO hope she turned up at the airport to confront him.
