I've only just realised that in 'STBXH' the 'STB' stands for 'soon-to-be' and not (as I thought for a while) 'shit-the-bed'..?

Why would you think that?
Makes no sense

fc301 · 21/04/2019 18:44

Why? Did your XH STB?! 🤣

Thought HTH ... was "hit the highway"
I know now it's not, but struggle everytime to remember the correct meaning... I do get it eventually 😁

Love it! It took me ages to work FOG out

yetanotherNC1 · 21/04/2019 18:55

Wait, what is HTH and FOG 🙈

aibutohavethisusername · 21/04/2019 18:56

HTH = hope that helps

I always thought it was Stab The Bastard EX 😂🤷‍♀️ no idea why hahaha. Only found out when I saw another similar thread about the abbreviations

Fog, I think, is fear obligation guilt.

MoniqueTonique · 21/04/2019 19:00

Many usernames go I admitted to somehow thinking it stood for Steve the BastardBlush I think I offended a few people with partners named SteveGrinHmm

UsernameTaken2 · 21/04/2019 19:02

I always thought STBXH meant shitbox husband.

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 21/04/2019 19:15

I always thought it was stupid bastard ex until I saw a post where it was written out. Also seems more appropriate often.

Bringbackthestripes · 21/04/2019 19:24

WTF? Shit the bed..... 😂😂😂

HTH Wink

blackcat86 · 21/04/2019 19:43

I think that shit the bed is better and very appropriate in some cases

Farmerswifey12 · 21/04/2019 19:50

What?! I thought HTH was head to hands!!
