If Mumsnet had been around 20-30 years ago what would you have posted?

[Decemberqueen]

I was in an abusive relationship with a bloke who for example berated me on a train in front of passengers because I refused to have a baby with him. I got away age 25. A few years later I moved in a cocklodger after a traumatic breakup and had a hellish time getting him out.
I had therapy then met a lovely bloke 10 years ago who I married and had a baby with (still together) but sometimes wish I had had Mumsnet advice years ago when I was making stupid choices.
Anyone else?

20 years ago my AIBU would have been
Am I BU to go and buy milk with my chequebook and get £50 cash back from the little co-op as their till isn't electronic. That way I can have another night out despite being far far over my overdraft

Ah the fun years

Right now in 2017 I'm on way back from a Texas concert with my dh having had an amazing night

1997:

AIBU?

I've just dumped my boyfriend, he lives in the other side of the country and he gets annoyed when I go out without him. If I annoy him
He writes to me in red pen. I shake when I open a red letter. When we go out he sits me in a corner with a Coke and then gives me a tow ifvivdpeak to his friends.

The last straw was he helped his ex move but then couldn't help my dad who had put him up and fed him for months because his female friends from America were visiting. My dad moved house alone.

I dumped him but he has a Texas ticket I paid for.

AIBU that I am still 20 years on pissed off he didn't give me my ticket or my money back

Tartan I see exactly where I was headed.

30 years ago I was 5 years old. Wondering why I had been shipped off to a foster family and wondering what was going to happen next. Lots of input from SW after disclosing sexual abuse from stepfather and not being believed by 'mother' who consistently neglected me and made my life hell

20 years ago I was 15 and living with adoptive parents. Just starting to discover boys but had a lot of anger issues and feeling hard done by.

Things are a lot better now!

20 years ago- AIBU for thinking that watching Will Smith in the video for 'Miami' on repeat will help me get over my recent breakup?
30 years ago- AIBU for thinking my hair would look good with a perm?
NB 30 yrs- it did, 20 yrs, it didn't!

Grr- I meant hat the other way around...Will Smith in those white shorts absolutely helped!

30 years ago - Should I dump my boyfriend when I go to uni? He is starting to bore the tits off me, and he broke my little finger when we were fighting. And I really really fancy D, and he fancies me too.

20 years ago - Should I find a new career as I don't think this one is really for me. But the pay is fantastic and I have no idea what else I could do.

I dumped the boyfriend, and D dumped me and became an evangelical Christian. I kept the job which was a bad decision as it ended up making me ill and I had to leave anyway.

30 yrs ago - AIBU to pretend the cute boy I play football with at weekends is my boyfriend? It's not like anyone from school will ever meet him and it's not like I'd be better asking him out than having a pretend boyfriend.
20 yrs - AIBU to think I don't need to tell university that my DF has had a life-threatening illness and we've had to move house? Surely I should just work through all the stress, spend all my time at the hospital when not in lectures and get on with it.
