To be annoyed that DP doesn't believe anything on MN?

[PenguinBear]

Every single thing on MN he thinks is made up. He asks me what I'm reading, then laughs and tells me how of course it's made up and I'm stupid to get sucked in/reply. I'm not talking trip-trap threads either, just everyday things like what people are having for dinner.

But if I don't tell him what I'm reading, he gets all huffy so I can't win .

AIBU to be annoyed that he doubts everything? It's not just on MN, on tv, when someone cries he always says it's fake. I find it quite irritating, especially when someone is clearly crying real tears on a documentary or for something genuinely emotional.

have you really got a DP at all?

perhaps you are just imagining yourself (and me).

pfft! Mumsnet vanishes in puff of smoke leaving only

I know someone who said that Jade Goodys cancer was made up as a publicity stunt. One hell of a publicity stunt that turned out to be.

Yeah shaving your head, telling your kids and then dying, what a way to get publicity.

I'm imaginary....who said that?

I do find it bizarre how regularly people here say, "Show him this thread..." when an OP has garnered opinion from MNers over a disgreement with their DH.

If I said to my OH, "Look, this is what MN thinks" after a disagreement, he would literally piss himself.

To a lot of people, this is just words on a computer screen like any other forum. It's not real life.

My DP thinks MN is rubbish. Me. I've just read another thread where someone could conceivably have had there life saved by MNers advice. I think MN ROCKS! DP doesnt know what he is on about.

YANBU.

So you have to tell him so he can tell you it's bumpf. Nice.

DP keeps making noises about joining. He also sat with me today and went awwww when we read the story of someones sister being allowed to dress a frodo for the posters wedding. DP also suggests I ask MINUTE if we need advice. Usually housekeeping or cookery.

Mumsnet not minute. DYAC!

I bookmarked AIBU on our PC am lurkiest lurker that ever did lurk until recently and my beloved husband has changed the bookmark to read 'I Am Being Unreasonable' subtitle 'Busy bodies network'

Perhaps even more shamefully it took me 3 months to notice

DP once rubbished mn. I pointed out that he moderates a blokey forum with much the same purpose.
He doesn't spout that bullshit any more

My therapist doesn't believe it here, says most of it.you shouldn't believe.

I dont even bother to read or post on MN
I get my Butler to do it

Exactly GregBishopsBottomBitch some real desperate publicity seekers out there.

I fell out with him about other things shortly after or would have reminded him about what he said later on!

Oh I forgot about the wright stuff researchers...

Honey, good to see your DH has as daft problems as you do!

IME, some of the more unbelievable stuff is most likely to be true - people I know in real life have had the weirdest stuff happen to them that would definitely get people's trolldars zinging if it were posted on here!

Your DP is just using MN as an excuse to belittle you. Ignore him or give him a pitying side head tilt and ask "Did you mean to be so rude?" He's being knobbish.

Being fair to him, a lot on these forums does sound a bit incredible.

I think it's better than a soap opera.

Post a story about him and we'll decide if we believe it or not :P

There is an awful lot of bullshit on MN written by fantasists to inflame the pearl clutchers.

I turn my browser to private for mumsnet now so that DP doesn't look through thread titles in my browser history and get all worried/scoff (as has happened). He always thinks I read threads because they reflect what's going on in my life/heart.

I actually really am famous (quite) - well, you will all have heard of me in rl. I am known for my body and looks. It's quite refreshing to come on MN and just be 'one of the crowd', where I can give my opinion without being treated like a bimbo.

I may actually have made that up.
