To think people shouldn't be so quick to say LTB?

[DaphneDiligaf]

In several threads it has occurred to me the advice should in fact be KTBO.

What does the O stand for?

Kick the bastard out?

I think ltb simply means don’t be with that person anymore.

Knock the bloke out

The reason that's not said is that many are victims of DV

And violence isn't something to be encouraged

Out?

Kick the bastard out?

Agreed, particularly when children are involved

What?

I’ve completely misread your OP 🤣 not helped by not knowing wtf ktbo means. I thought you were just saying that Mn was too quick to say ltb

Ktbo? Be careful he doesn't kyo! Especially if he's into DV!

I thought it was 'kill the bastard' which is why I was wondering about the 'O'

Certainly not advocating real violence but there is at least one, possibly two, threads running where the OP is the main breadwinner and should not be giving up her home to her feckless other half. Neither involve DV where I would certainly be advocating LTB.

To be fair though in some cases I do think LTB is said too easily, especially when OP is just having a rant about something petty but very annoying to them at that moment!

Kill the bastard off or kick the bastard out?

LTB isn't always meant seriously. It's often tongue in cheek

Kick the bastard out.

When people say LTB I think they generally mean just leave the relationship, not necessarily the home.

Ah right thats OK then, I'm overthinking it.
Thanks.
