For me it was the woman who's DH used to withdraw food from her as punishment and she had to eat pizza out of the bin.
I often think of her and whether she managed to leave him. Marvinishungry I think her name was. If you are reading this, I hope you are safe and happy now.

What have been the threads that stayed with you that you wish you had updates for?

OP posts:
sugarman · 29/04/2015 09:04

notnob That was the saddest thread ever. She died, her sister let a poster know Sad

Someone mentioned applecrumble who got suspended from work because of a discrepancy between log in times and her timesheets. The last I saw was that ir turned out that someone in her team (of 3) had set her up. But it appeared there wasn't a lot she could do.

There used to be a poster called auch whose husband was just so frightful and then she disappeared, I still worry about her.

And a lovely poster called izzyin (or similar) who gave such beautiful support in Relationships - then suddenly disappeared. I have always wondered what happened to her.

WaltzingWithHeiferlumps · 29/04/2015 09:35

Yes sugarman, I remember izzyisin ... that was strange how she just suddenly disappeared.

Shortandsweet20 · 29/04/2015 09:41

Does anyone have links to these threads? Sounds like a few interesting reads

Sandbrook · 29/04/2015 09:45

I'm presuming that fascinating thread re the US wedding was a fake too then?

blessedenough · 29/04/2015 09:50

The one i wonder about is the outcome for the 16yr old boy who was autistic (or something) and his GF got pregnant. The mother was in bits -she had to abandon the thread as the girls family saw it.

blessedenough · 29/04/2015 09:51

And another one - where the posters hubby was trying to force her to go to Saudi (or somewhere ME) for his job and she was worried that she would have no rights and could loose her child. I wonder what happened and if she went.

UptheChimney · 29/04/2015 09:52

Did the sheep harasser track down the farmer and demand an apology? (OK, I know it was fake

Was that a fake thread Shock

Well, if it was, I'm glad, because the OP & her family seemed to be quite unpleasant.

floatyflo · 29/04/2015 09:55

Not sure if already been mentioned, and not sure how to word this, but the one not that long ago where OP posted for advice after her young Dd mentioned ome suspect things her Dp had said to the Dd. Sexual abuse related. She never came back and updated. I think of that OP alot. I hope she followed her instinct and didn't just ignore what her DD had said.

Misslgl88 · 29/04/2015 09:56

The noises from the light switch in the woman's toilet, although I'm sure she did update saying there was nothing new to report but still wish she had found out what it was!

Cat gate I'm sure the poster moved house and had no further issues Iirc

sharonthewaspandthewineywall · 29/04/2015 09:59

Weebarra please send tunnocksteacakes and DH my love. Such amazingly strong people x

floatyflo · 29/04/2015 10:00

Also wasn't there a thread where the OPs husband was Muslim and didn't celebrate Christmas, and told her to take the tree down, or he took it down. Can't quite remember.

The OP's dad with the creepy relationship with the 14 year old and, more recently, the OP's partner's EA/ affair with his lesbian friend. Only because it made me have a dream that my DP had a lesbian friend and invited her for a sleepover!.

MadHattersWineParty · 29/04/2015 11:06

expatinscotland The young woman with the pulmonary embolism and the (now ex) boyfriend who didn't really give a shit.... That was me!

I was in hospital for the weekend, he didn't come as it was Tooting St George's and it would have been awkward to drive from West London to there and then get back on the road to drive to his parent's Hmm

I wasn't strong enough to have the conversation with him for a few weeks though. And stupidly, because I couldn't take the pill and he didn't want to use condoms on a regular basis, I agreed to have the coil fitted after he emailed me all the literature on it...
It was bloody bloody painful getting it put in and I had cramps for weeks afterwards!

Anyway, happily he is now dumped after he admitted he didn't care nearly as much as he should. I feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted, he on the other hand is texting me a lot trying to worm his way back in, but that is NOT going to happen.

I felt so much support from all the lovely people that posted on that thread.

WillowKnicks · 29/04/2015 11:19

One a few weeks ago in chat where the OP had a drunken night of sex with her female friend whilst her DH & the friend's DH were downstairs.
The OP was worried the friend would confess & it would end her marriage but then as the thread continued it seemed she herself was going to confess...I'd love to know how that one ended!

Another one, must be a year ago, where the OP had told her local EA that someone who had got a place for their DC at her local primary school had lied about her address. The OPs DC hadn't got in to the school & I always wondered if the child of Mum who lied lost their place & if OPs DC got in.

Does anyone know if the haunted office was a genuine thread, think the post got pulled when someone identified the office & posted the details on the thread.

ApprenticeViper · 29/04/2015 11:47

No way was the US baby one a troll!?!?!? Shock Daaaammmnnn, that was really plausible as well! I was totally sucked in.

There was one in Relationships that was very nearly in real-time, where the OP fancied her boss and they had gone away for a meeting or to give a presentation, staying in separate rooms in the same hotel. Anyway, the last I saw was that the boss had ended up telling the OP that he really liked her, and asked if they could "give things a go". Someone's going to tell me that was a bridge dweller as well aren't they? Sad

TheListingAttic · 29/04/2015 12:06

There was one probably a year or so ago, that started out funny then got serious very quickly. The OP's friend was arranging a ludicrously elaborate birthday party for her one year old, had completely unrealistic expectations about making little kids behave according to her detailed and lengthy plans, was going completely over the top with everything. A few pages in it became clear the friend was struggling with PND, had fallen into competitive friendship with some NCT mums, was completely deluded and putting immense pressure on herself to make everything wonderful and perfect. The thread sort of fell apart when the OP talked about approaching the friend's husband (who was also a good friend) to see if between them they could think of a way to help, and some posters got on her case about it, and she exited the thread. Always wondered if the friend was okay, how she coped with the inevitable disaster that the party must have been, and whether things improved after.

BathshebaDarkstone · 29/04/2015 12:11

Thanks hashbrown, that's nowhere near as bad as what I was thinking! Grin

'I feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted, he on the other hand is texting me a lot trying to worm his way back in, but that is NOT going to happen.

Oh, Mad, please DELETE this person from your life. What an arsehole! Go non-contact because he is one of the most selfish pricks I've read about on here and I've been here 10 years.

I'd lose the coil and give your body a break.

JacquesHammer · 29/04/2015 12:19

Also interested in the outcome of the bathroom clicky light.

There was another woo one wiht someone's work place - pictures posted and everything

Also wondering if InfinitySeven is ok

MadHattersWineParty · 29/04/2015 12:23

Thanks, expat.

I don't intend to ever see him again- fortunately he's out of the country for a few months for work. If its possible, I will try and block his number. He's already blocked on all my social media. It's been a tough few months but I am slowly realising what an utter shit he was.

LadyCassandra · 29/04/2015 12:32

There was one a few years ago that I still think about in Relationships. Her DH was having an affair with "Little Miss Awesome" but kept trying to come back and at one point was living in a tent. She went to the secret board but then disappeared. I hope she got rid of him and didn't go to Australia like he wanted to.

LinzerTorte · 29/04/2015 12:40

Hippy ALFA isn't on MN any more but is doing OK (she's no longer with her DP). She says thank you for thinking of her. Smile

hashbrownnofilter · 29/04/2015 13:05

Baths .. pleeeeeease tell me what you thought it was Grin

wallaby73 · 29/04/2015 13:09

I am wondering if I am the morning hug poster? I did post about this in either legal or relationships.....

It turned out he had serious previous form and had in fact served time for sexual offences......but as indeed he had served time, he of course has to make a living and it also turns out he did declare all to our employer, and they saw fit to appoint him to a managerial position and did not let anyone else know, apart from his manager, about his past. Which on the one hand is understandable.....but what it has resulted in is him having influence and access to women like me.

So I am still awaiting it to be dealt with, I can't put too much on here but it is ongoing and I will not let it drop.....
