You know, the ones that ask a question on the thread and you know full well the answer before you've even clicked through.

Should I leave him? - Yes. Run for the fucking hills

DH says this is all in my head, is it? - No. He's a cunt

Is this normal in a relationship? - No, definitely not. And don't let him make you think it is either

Should I text him or leave it? Leave it. But we know you won't. Come back again tomorrow when he's ignored you again

Should we separate? Without a doubt

Are these red flags? North Korea, mate.

What are yours?

My DP spends all his money on weed.
Well it's no worse than alcohol!

AIBU to think I'm in an impossible situation, we have tried ABCDEFG and WXYZ aren't possible because (gives reasons).

I haven't RTHT but why are you posting when you haven't tried A through Z? Come back in a year when you have.

"AIBU to ask..."

I haven't taken a pregnancy test and can't get to the shop until tomorrow/next week/June, but I have a bit of a funny tummy and my head was sort of odd this morning, you know, not like a headache but more dizzy but not quite that strong, and I keep sneezing, and I feel a bit bloated and I've definitely put on 0.2lbs, and my skin has got a bit odd like it used to do before my period when I was 15-17. I am 2dpo and we DTD last week. Could I be?????"

Am I overreacting? I walked in on my husband having sex with my mum. He says he slipped and fell in. I literally haven't reacted at all.

99% You're not overreacting. You should probably react.
1% Opposite sex people can be friends you know, don't be so paranoid. I'm falling over onto my colleague's penis right now and have done every Friday night for the last 3 years. There's nothing sexual about it. Grow up.

My best friend of a gazillion years is getting married on the other side of the world this summer. We really can't afford the expense and it's a 'no kids' wedding and we have no family or friends (we're NC with everyone) to look after our 8 children so will have to leave them with the next door neighbours for a week. Aibu if we don't go?

50% What a shit friend you are. She's your bestie, you must go.
49% no, sod that.
1% you have 8 kids?!

It's all the pregnancy ones where people post a picture of their test stick and ask if there's a line. There clearly isn't, but everyone posts and says yes of course, congratulations. I'm not mean enough to rain on the parade and say no of course there's not a second line, but I don't post at all.

We're getting a puppy next weekend. We've done our research on breed and have found a reputable breeder. Any advice to settle them in at homd?

You're promoting puppy farms and animal cruelty. Call the so called breeder to cancel and go to a rescue to get a dog that isn't the breed you want that may not fit into your family life or have the right temperament

  • I go to a luxury villa in Tuscany for the whole summer. You should go there, it only costs £2,676,222 a day.
  • OP don't you even care about your children, you are deliberately poisoning the whole planet for them

- I have a weekend in November in the cowshit ridden field out the back of Sellafield in a tent with no roof and I enjoy it! You are just stealthboasting OP
