I will never set virtual foot in there again. I have imprints on my forehead of the keyboard from where I have been banging my head against it. It makes no SENSE!!! I have a jaw like Jacob Marley. There are so many threads like this:

OP: The other day I was a miserable cow, kids were stressing me. He came home to a complete shithole and then proceeded to clean up. I could sense he was a bit miffed at the state of the house so I told him to cook his own fucking dinner. He wanted to tell me about a problem with work, but I was pissed off and told him I wasn't interested, tell someone who gives a shit. He then shouted that I didn't give a toss about him and stomped upstairs. I can't live like this anymore.

Reply: He cleaned up?? How controlling is he? He then tried to make you listen to his work problems? What about YOUR problems?

Reply: He's emotionally abusive, but you know this don't you.

Reply: Definitely controlling, he doesn't care about what you want. He wanted to make you clean up and listen to his problems. Why the fuck are you cooking his dinner?

Reply: He shouted at you? This is abusive behaviour. You don't have to put up with this, you need to really think about how to proceed. Has he shouted before? This isn't normal.

Reply: Well actually, you weren't too pleasant to him. Perhaps you should look at YOUR behaviour.

Reply (to above poster): Great support there, this woman lives with an emotional abuser. Don't speak if you haven't got anything constructive to say. Don't listen to that poster OP.

Etc, etc....

I know that a lot of people in seriously abusive or violent situations have been helped in this section, and that that is an extremely good thing, before you point that out to me.

But some of the replies on other threads!!! Madness.

My lacanche oven is hopeless.

And then aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa decides to go for a lie down.

My evening is not panning out well.

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 01/02/2012 21:52

So - if you are usually well liked, why are you hiding behind a name change?

caramelwaffle · 01/02/2012 21:55

What is a lacanche oven Unlikely ?

bigsquiz · 01/02/2012 21:55

Agree with you smithson6

aaaaaaargh · 01/02/2012 22:00

#So - if you are usually well liked, why are you hiding behind a name change?

Re-read the above, and then answer your own question.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa really is off to bed now.

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 01/02/2012 22:05

It's pathetic to need to be liked by people on the internet to the point where you have to name change to state your actual opinion.

notfluffyatall · 01/02/2012 22:09

It's her own business why she's namechanged, and none of yours. I have no idea why that affects the point if the OP.

Stop fucking bitching and discuss the topic.

AnyFucker · 01/02/2012 22:14

Grin caramel, it's shite. It has more flaws than the towering inferno.

You can have it if you can find a crane to winch it out.

Exhs decision to buy such a load of status-symbol nonsense. It is truly hopeless.

notfluffyatall · 01/02/2012 22:30

Do you know what this is like? It's the equivalent of the really birchy girls at school, every school had them, that made all the other girls at school's life a misery until someone called them out on it. Then they retreat a bit, but don't want to lose face so while they stop bitching directly they carry on 'joking', taking the piss but not directly.

Grow up women, you're not doing the rest of us any favours.
