Let's solve most of AIBU

[beefthief]

Situation 1) A mum / a friend / a person you saw in the street is doing things in a way that you wouldn't. Their actions have no bearing on your life.

Ignore it and move on with your life, don't waste precious hours worrying about it.

Situation 2) Your normally reasonable other half has been doing something you don't like.

Decide if you can live with it, and if you can't, talk to him politely and like an adult, and work with them to resolve it.

Honestly, so many threads here would be so much easier if people weren't getting so worked up over the trivial annoyances that make up part of life. Not being so bloody nosy would also help

Hun, I would of, but my hubby won't let me

Well there's not much fun on a chat forum if you can't actually chat.

Someone suggested naming it 'petty gripes' which I thought was a good idea.

Sometimes posters need support, not judgement, and would be better off posting on the relevant board rather than AIBU which seems to be full of posters desperate to tear people to shreds.

Owl - I obviously didn't advocate for no chat on here, your post is unreasonable.

But you are cutting out all the things to chat about!!

YABVVVU because your post falls under A)

HTH

I've come to the conclusion that if you.have to ask then yes, you probably are being unreasonable

Think about situation one and swap the word 'street' for 'internet'.

Oh wait, you'd have to report your own thread

YABU

I read AIBU for sheer entertainment

I like the Mumsnet community, and just want it to be as good as it can be.

YABU. AIBU has nothing to do with your life, move along please, nothing to see here.

Yabu...aibu has been an education and entertainment for me and im sure others. I have laughed, cried and learn more on these pages than anything else.

AIBU? Someone on a chat forum wants to ban people talking about problems with their partners and gossiping about others.

She has no suggestions for alternative topics. This site will turn to tumbleweed.

[ londonrach] I absolutely tutely agree wiv ya

3. Can you really not tell or do you just want everyone to agree with you?

There are plenty of more serious and interesting threads about partners and so on! I can't see the value in someone working themselves up into writing thousands of words about a trivial perceived slight from their partner while the usual suspects barrel in with LTBs and worse.

For reference, the thread from the lady whose husband was spying on her was a fascinating read with real life help and benefit to the OP.

So you think you can put a value judgement on someone's problems. That problem not worthy of discussion, ban that. That problem is serious (interesting) we'll allow that one.

If you click on a thread you find boring or in your mind unworthy of comment, just...don't bother reading it and don't make a comment.

Takes all sorts.

AIBU as a whole needs killing with fire.

Most people start a thread because they are positive they are not being unreasonable and expect to be backed up! They still cling to this despite everyone saying YABU.

I don't think one person can judge what others find interesting or necessary. I love reading aibu (and chat, and relationships). Some threads are boring (to me), some are hilarious, others help people get the support and guidance they need. If I didn't have mn and all that goes with it to read and enjoy, I'd never have any kind of interaction with people who weren't blood relations/married to me. Plus, I always find it interesting to see what others think is unreasonable or not.

I have never seen LTB unless it is justified. A lot of people seem to accept a lot of shit in their relationships as normal.

Why are you contributing to it thenbinky?

Surely people posting problems that you perceive to be trivial on here comes under the definition of:

A mum / a friend / a person you saw in the street/an anonymous poster on the internet is doing things in a way that you wouldn't. Their actions have no bearing on your life.

Ignore it and move on with your life, don't waste precious hours worrying about it.
