incessantly posting in a pretend world that they might be able to maintain realtionships; not have, social issues communicating with family and friends, dysfunctional children and ultimately partners who didn't look elsewhere?

I WOULD pay attention to Oh but he died on 9 june last year so somewhat tricky...

Imponderer what do you mean "pretend world" Mumsnet is real...Its real I tell you...

I do have the strange hallucinations where small beings come up to me and utter eldrich phrases like "Mum, can I have a chocolate biscuit?" and "Its my turn on the computer you've been on there ages" but I find it best to ignore those visions. And as for the large shadow beast who wants to know "Have you seen my socks?" and "Where are the car keys?" I beat him into submission with a frying pan and locked him in a cupboard.

Well, my DH is away working, and the (dysfunctional) children are in bed, am I allowed to be here.

Anyway, you are right- when I am MN'ing I know for a FACT that my DH is "looking elsewhere". he's looking at shite TV. He did once moan that I was MN'ing too much, but when I called his bluff, turned it off and sat beside him on the couch and insisted he put "Mad truckers who kill swordfish and sell cars" off and talk to me, well, he decided it wasn't good for us to be joined at the hip (hahaha) and that we should embrace the fact that we have different interests (although I understand that this is unthinkable in non-dysfunctional marriages, and I should really make more effort to enjoy "Pawn stars" and "Swamp Men")

I'll give myself a telling off and send myself to bed, shall I?
