Old threads you followed that you would love to know what happened afterwards

[DaimondSpine]

I remember an old thread where a group of friends basically denied themselves treats on holidays and days out for years because one couple in the group were supposedly hard up and they didn’t want the other couple to struggle. It turned out that they actually had saved a substantial amount to put their son through Uni . I wonder what happened next as the OP and friends were absolutely outraged and were going to confront hard up couple, but the thread had reached maximum posts so never knew what happened next . What is the thread that you remember and would love an update on ?

Also the woman who was going to be a chef/ housekeeper for a high end household but had no idea what the job entailed 😂

I often wonder (more than I care to admit) how the OP who was sodomized by a dirty big toe on a lazy river is getting on. I have genuinely never laughed at a post on here more than I did that day!

I sometimes wonder if Brian’s yoni massage business in Hull is doing okay…….

Oh I remember that! Yes it was Adam. It was all on the "other" board iirc.

This!

There was a 2nd thread. They went on holiday, he proposed in the swimming pool ? on the last day of the holiday.
the wedding should be sometime during July/August this year.

I often think about the lobster boy thread, it was such a sad situation and the mother seemed so nice.

I also often think of the 16 yr old boy in Australia who was in a relationship with an abusive teen, though I remember at the end they had separated. I hope he is doing well in life now.

I remember a thread where a woman wanted to leave an abusive partner, and she was going to hide some things in her car, then pretend to drive the kids to school but would just keep driving. The thread was deleted because it had identifying details but I hope she managed to escape.

I also often think about the woman who tagged herself as the baby on a facebook photo of her ex, his new partner and their baby. It was so funny! I hope she has managed to use social media responsibly since then 😂

Finally, I remember the thread where a woman’s aunt has given her a Christmas present, which was a cushion with her own face on! So funny. I often wonder what other lovely gifts her aunt has given since then.

There’s two for me -

the one a while ago where strange things were happening and it turned out a neighbour was breaking in but they couldn’t say much due to investigations

one recently where a mum was scared for her son aged around 15/16 due to controlling behaviour and concerns with his health related to seizures and it turned out the gf and her mum were really scarily odd

If it hasn't been mentioned and I haven't RTFT, one from years ago where a woman's husband locked off the garage, she couldn't get inside and didn't know what was in there. She resolutely knocked back pages of excellent suggestions and drifted off. I assumed she was a troll.

The lady who’s child had sepsis, I think her name was square something, I always think of her and pray it was a good ending with a full recovery x

Oh, and I'd like updates on all the school and teacher threads where a "livid" parent was going to tear them new one because of unfair treatment of their child.

All them.

There was one about a family whose car broke down in France and was un repairable . Still wonder how / if they ever got home.

The lovely widowed lady, whose daughter + husband were quite grabby, possibly the daughter was under her husband’s control. He didn’t work, lots of ideas of how to use everyone else’s money, they were moving to Ireland last I heard.

The one with the random wood shavings on the night stand. Every night the night stand would be clear and every day there would be wood shavings on the night stand.

I'm sure it did get solved but I ended up missing the thread. Forgot to add it to my watch list. Did the mystery ever get solved?

This one has sat with me for years.

Nothing unusual for MN, sadly, think the name was similar to heartbroken27. Mum of 2 young children and her best friend told her she’d seen her the mums husband with another women. Turns out friend was in a very difficult situation and the husband was seeing the friends sister! The mum sounded so lovely standard really believed in her husband and his new hobby of golf and grateful he was working long hours to support the new family.

recently, couple with grown up children husband had ran off with someone he hardly knew and the poor lady just couldnt pull through, was an
absolute mess and just couldn’t be kind to herself. Husband just kept kicking her when down. 😔

I’d love to know how the allotment is now. Did the squatter take their shed? Have the allotment neighbours accepted the owner and forgotten Babs? Would love an update.

The one about a family going on holiday and they'd rented a house, and there was some issue about the number of rooms. Something like there was supposed to be a spare room but the OP's sister wanted to bring someone else who would sleep in the spare room, and the OP was adamant that they couldn't cope without having a spare room just in case? And no one understood what she was talking about?

The one where the woman's teenage son had a controlling emotionally abusive gf who hated his mum, but he wouldn't leave her, and the gf ended up 'jokingly' suggesting he should murder his mum. She may have contacted the police about it. I think at the end they had broken up, hope it stayed that way and all was ok. There were two threads about it in the end.

Wasn’t that Whomovedmychocolate ? I remember the thread, and I know she had a ghost, but I am not sure if that was the same one or not !

Oh blimey this one, really alarming.

Years ago in Relationships. The poster was Tears of a Mushroom.
Old story, husband cheated and came back. Her last words almost were, "I won."
I didn't post back then, but for some reason, maybe my own crappy situation, I felt quite sad for her. I hope it worked out.

Yes - I was just about to write this too,
it was so sad and I don’t think they were married, she also worked with him and he just wanted her out of his life and she potentially had nothing left - neither job nor home. He had fallen for this other woman online,
He was going off to meet this woman in Mayfair in January (I think) for the first time with a view to being with this other woman and the OP seemed to be a helpless observer and had no idea what her future would hold.

she had assumed it was a scam but her DP was intoxicated. I hope she’s ok. I think the thread was deleted or filled up in the end and she never returned. I often wonder if she’s ok x

I was captivated by a thread a few years back with a title like "Paranormal? Hearing ice cream van music at night?". The OP stopped updating, and in was never quite sure whether they were genuine or not, but I was gripped!

That’s lovely, she was and is an amazing human ❤️. I’m sorry for your loss and I hope you’re doing ok!
