why do people on here feel the need to be so dramatic?

[amb885]

not a thread about a thread, i saw on another thread someone telling the op to 'move out. now' over a minor inconvenience with her dh aibu to think people on here are unnecessarily dramatic?

Although I gave just read that a 4 year old had 5 pieces of bubblegum! Call an ambulance! Now!

Vodka my idiot dog has eaten an entire dark chocolate Easter egg. That was a bloody long and stressful night I can tell you.

What bothers me with some responses to relationship threads is when posters say “you’re in an abusive relationship”, OP is shocked and scared but reluctant to leave and then posters start getting angry with them! Like - you’re telling this woman she’s in an emotionally abusive relationship which probably involves manipulation and gaslighting and you’re just.. expecting her to show no residual damage from that?! To not doubt herself or her perceptions?

Probably irrelevant to the thread but it annoys me 😂

@year5teacher yes!!! Never mind she needs time to process this. Deranged posters shouting leave TODAY at her because it's so easy to adjust to being a victim of abuse

@TheMumblesofMumbledom God. Apart from anything else what a shameful waste of good chocolate. Clearly you weren't supervising her/him properly! Do you think you should even have a dog in the circumstances?

I think someone should call the rspca! My dog has never eaten anything she shouldn't start from chicken bones on the pavement and anything else she can get her paws on

@Toddlerteaplease

Everyone who just is an unpleasant person is a narcissistic psychopath.

Let’s not limit the number of narcissists, it’s anybody who does not agree with you or follow your unwritten life rules.

Theres a thread at the moment where the OP has just moved in with her OH and basically acted like a total subservient 1950's housewife - getting up before him on HER day off to make him breakfast, cleaning the house top to bottom for him, ironing his shirts etc - she did all but put a pretty bow in her hair and make a cherry pie. Anyway he comes home and she's left him a note to take the bins out and he's asked her why she can't do it. Lots of LTB TODAY but several posters implying that he will, inevitably, become violent with her.

Now don't get me wrong he sounds like an ungrateful shit (although why the OP did so much unasked like some anti-feminist martyr remains a mystery) but there's ungrateful shits and there's violent men and they are not always one and the same. Except in MN land where it seems there are two types of men:

1. He takes the woman's surname, does all the childcare despite working full time while OP works 16 hours a week, cooks all the meals, cleans, does school run, gives his wife an daily massage, spends all his money on her, never raises his voice and walks one step behind his wife in public
2. An abuser

Someone posts to say they are in despair and pain because their beloved has told them they are over.

MNers immediate words of comfort. ➡️He’s having an affair.

It’s like they have OW Tourette’s.

"My stepchildren don't like me very much, there's so much tension and I don't know what to do."

MN: "Were you the other woman?"

🙄

There's a thread at the moment which is utterly about animal's penises. I should never have replied.

Surprisingly enough, the said type of posters are very quiet, either ignoring the thread or laughing along.

"Ooh is it 5:00 yet? Time for a cheeky vino or two or three !! while the DCs are doing their hw (homework! Ha! Did you think I meant housework!!!!!)"
DH drinks a bottle of beer EVERY evening
"Well he is obviously an alcoholic and you should LTB or march him to AA immediately"

How about those who 'don't want to out myself' so barely write anything as if they are famous or something. Deluded!

"Name changed so I don't out myself as all my friends know this, but I like salt and vinegar on my chips" 😂😂

@WorraLiberty

This thread really needs a 'TRIGGER WARNING' in the title.

I'm shaking, crying, and spluttering my tea over my keypad here and I've woken up a baby who lives 3 streets away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am disappointed in you @WorraLiberty As a proper mumsnetter you should know that crying is for pleb. We here shake and SOB😂

In fairness it's only mothers in law who are prone to chucking themselves about and weeping

I often wonder what he thinks of his MIL, presumably if he said anything negative about her then LTB would be the first action adviced.

Those relationship threads are pretty dire though!

He takes the woman's surname, does all the childcare despite working full time while OP works 16 hours a week, cooks all the meals, cleans, does school run, gives his wife an daily massage, spends all his money on her, never raises his voice and walks one step behind his wife in public

MN - That's because he feels guilty because he's having an affair

I just sought this thread out again as there's a woman with a 6 month old, not getting much sleep and her husband is at work all day but does stuff in the house and with the child, and one of the first replies is 'he should do more you must on your knees' She goes to bed with the child each night at 8pm leaving him downstairs then he sleeps in the spare room so as not to disturb them. He's still in the wrong though

I had 3 kids under 5 and my ex got home from work about 6pm shattered. Did the odd bath time and took them to the park etc but I did the bulk of it. I was at home all day and it wasn't that bad, quite boring really! I don't ever remember being on my knees.

I am disappointed in you @WorraLiberty**

SchrodingersImmigrant Fair point. Oh and weeping...let us never forget us Mumsnetters weep when we read sad novels.

If I had a quid for every time I read “Prepare for OW to come out of the woodwork”

Yeah the over ready drafted responses to a crap friend or neighbour are amusing. You just know the smug author of them has never ever delivered such a turgid pompous response in their lives as they would not have for past the second sentence without being told to fuck off.

I'm saddened to read some of these responses. Not pissed off, saddened.
