Who's friend had a DP in america and she went over there to have her baby and the OP was worried her friends DP and his mum were planning on keeping the baby?

Posting in AIBU because it was in here for a while and a few might remember.

To make this more interesting, post your own 'what happened's to try and get updates!

I always wonder about the OP worried about her neighbour spying on her...

EachandEveryone · 03/01/2015 08:59

I can't remember that happening at all!! I
Must have read it really quickly. There was a lot of it.

Does anyone remember the husband who was offered a football coach job in Benin? The op couldn't get him to understand it was a scam and I wondered whether he'd actually gone or not. Not the most gripping of threads but I got hooked on it.

I have a couple that always spring to mind!

The one with the wife of a music teacher and he kept insisting on keeping up private lessons for the child of the woman he was blatantly in love with.

The one with the dwelling in the garden next door that was blatantly being used to house people but planning permissible was never awarded.

Mind has gone blank on the others!

Costa she was back on Relationships just a couple of weeks ago I think....her ex had committed suicide and she was very upset, but seemed to be getting stronger as the thread went on. She is in a second refuge as ex had tracked her down to the first one.

Costacoffeeplease · 03/01/2015 09:11

Oh is that the same person? I did read that thread too, I didn't realise

ChocolateNutsAndCreamLiquer · 03/01/2015 09:17

The mum who was posting about her young teenage son who had got his teenage (think still at school teenage) gf pregnant. The son had learning difficulties and was 'cool' with being a Dad.

Other posters have wondered what was the outcome. I've yet to see an update.

A recent one just before Christmas where the op was being nasty about her SIL's salted caramel tart???? Then it went poof!

Oh is that what happened? I remember reading it & thinking what a nasty comment that opening post seemed to be. But then I couldn't find it was seriously hoping her SiL read it and wondered if it I were actually the nasty one by imagining the OP.

That one was so sad. I hope that poster finds some resolution that is good for her ...

I keep wondering about a poster who first posted here in AIBU about her husband seeming to want to force her or emotionally blackmail her into having a 4th child. Her threads went to the other place, as she gradually came to see the abusive nature of her husband. I was always intrigued about her style & her expression in posting: it was very simple and almost sort of wide-eyed innocent, yet she seemed to have quite a professional job with a deal of expertise & training. I could never quite put those together. But then I'm not good at putting 2 & 2 together on anonymous forums, as some people are.

Wormatthebottomofthegarden · 03/01/2015 09:29

The recent one where the OP had a new baby and her DH was a city worker and spent all his time going out leaving her to deal with everything alone. She never came back, I suspect because she stayed with him.

PolkaDotsandPumpkin · 03/01/2015 09:33

There was a thread where the OP's PILs were coming to Australia to stay with OP and DH for a longish time (maybe 6 weeks?). The MIL was making all sorts of demands, requiring transport, meals etc. The OP came to update saying that her FIL had died soon after arriving. Does anyone know what happened, seemed so sad :(

WeAreEternal · 03/01/2015 09:35

GatoradeMeBitch
She continued to post for quite a while.
She got out of the house and went to a refuge, she got a van and took quite a bit of the furniture and stored it at her mums I think.
She was then offered a council house and was taking about decorating and moving in.
From what I remember she was doing well the last time she posted.

WeAreEternal · 03/01/2015 09:38

I think the salted caramel tart was posted by someone with hairy hands.

ihatethecold · 03/01/2015 09:46

The Gallagher request one for a dying friend ended up with Noel saying he was too busy to personally see her but did send her some things.
I don't know what the things were but the op was happy with the result.

HouseBaelish · 03/01/2015 09:48

I would love to know about the holiday thread where the husband saw something terrifying and they revisited the same camp site.

Also I always wondered whether the OP had any further problems with the tenants on the penguin bollard thread

Wormatthebottomofthegarden · 03/01/2015 09:53

What about the thread where the OP ate out of the waste caddy as her DH never bought enough food for her? She only had enough food for her baby. She was going to leave him but for some unknown reason she married him. I don't know what happened after that.

AwfulBeryl · 03/01/2015 10:03

I wonder about baby Blanche, she always pops up on these threads, she should be around 2 or 3 now.
Also Lady something flashes her fanjo, she had a long running thread about her ex who was sending threatening letters or texts, I can't remember the ins and outs now.

FruChristerOla · 03/01/2015 10:16

"I would love to know about the holiday thread where the husband saw something terrifying and they revisited the same camp site."

After their return holiday there, she posted a very brief update saying she'd come back later in the day with the whole story .... but she never did.

3littlefrogs · 03/01/2015 10:16

I have often wondered what happened with the poster whose MIL pierced her baby's ears with her own earrings while the DH and baby were visiting.

It was pretty horrifying, but the OP never came back as far as I know.

HouseBaelish · 03/01/2015 10:19

Thanks Fru - and what a shame, I want the whole story Grin

It is possible I'm too invested in it

MrsKringle · 03/01/2015 10:23

I've often wondered about a poster who was in Relationships and it was moved to OTBT. I remember the username but I won't post it because I haven't been able to find her when searching unless my searchinh abilities are crap so perhaps she had everything deleted as it was a very sensitive topic.

Her ex was abusing their son but she had no option but to keep sending him for contact and the courts seems absolutely useless. The ex's representation (can't remember the official term) was unprofessional and the poster kept getting the same unsympathetic judge. Anyone know what I mean? I just hope she and her child are safe now.

FruChristerOla · 03/01/2015 10:25

There were a number of sceptics on her 'update' thread, House. TBH, I suspect it might have been something that she'd set up for a Halloween 'reveal' - but wasn't true - so she decided not to post about it any further?

ithoughtofitfirst · 03/01/2015 10:26

That's kind of rubbish about Noel Gallagher. Might I suggest Keanu Reeves as a hero for your children? He would never be too busy.
