Okay, so, we all have these thoughts; things we know we DEFINITELY are being unreasonable about and yet we can't help but think them.

This is that thread. A chance to say whatever you want judgement free. You know it's silly, you know it makes no sense but it's how you feel. Feel free to share! It might make me feel a little less crazy.

I'll go first...

My best friend gave birth to twins today and I am INSANELY jealous. Simply because I want twins. I know it's stupid, I know I likely won't even have twins but I want them so badly and now she has them. I feel like she's stolen the twin dust and there will be none left for me!

Like I said - just somewhere to post how you're feeling consequence free Smile

I confess that I'm working on destroying a specific persons life. When I'm done, he'll wonder what the fuck has happened.

I neither feel guilty for doing this or will lose any sleep over it once done.

Can I have some tips?!

UniversalAunt · 28/07/2022 09:44

Dearest @twin33 please do not live your precious life this way.
You do not have to be in this abusive relationship any more.

@PyongyangKipperbang & other posters are with you before me.

Just do one thing today entirely for yourself, reach out for support by calling

National Domestic Abuse Helpline – 0808 2000 247 – www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk/ (free phone run by Refuge)

or have a live chat with Womens Aid chat.womensaid.org.uk/

This may help you find local resources
www.womensaid.org.uk/womens-aid-directory/

I suggest that you make an appointment with your GP to tell them how you are living, how you are so ground down & oppressed by the constant abuse & bullying. It is an independent record of your situation.

I used to get annoyed that the large shrub in my front garden by the front wall would get little bags of dogshit hung in it by lazy twats. I could never figure out who it was until I started working from home during lockdown. I set up my office in the spare bedroom at the front of the house where I saw the culprit hang her dogs shit in my tree. I was going to run down the stairs and give her a bollocking but I held back as I wanted to know where she lived. Instead I followed her the next day (after she had hung a bag of shit in the tree) and discovered she lived a few streets over. Not sure why specifically choose my tree, there were plenty of others to hang turds from but it clearly has become a habit for her. For the next few weeks I let her leave her fecal gifts for me before one night I quietly walked around to her home posted about 15 of her gift wrapped shits through her letterbox before running home and washing my hands till the skin nearly came off.

Well done!

it reminds me of the time a woman drew up to the big trash dumpster just down from my house and threw a bag of rubbish out of the window on to the ground. I was fuming. So I waited till she drove away then picked it up and threw it over her garden wall onto her lawn. Later that day I waited on my flat roof for her to get home and spent a good 15 minutes watching her clear it all up. At one stage she caught sight of me so I waved at her and she never dumped her trash on the roadside again.

ncforconfession · 28/07/2022 09:47

I've NC for this, obvs.

DP & I used to be swingers. We spent a few years having so much fun meeting other couples and swapping partners, and going to parties at clubs etc. I even met some women alone in hotel rooms (with DP's full consent), then shared the details later while we had sex. It was such a thrill and I miss it a lot! (We stopped a couple years ago when I had our DC).

The point was no judgement...

I get really irritated by people who can't keep their mouth (keyboard) shut.

Maybe Carpy's secret confession is wanting to hold the camera ....

xogossipgirlxo · 28/07/2022 09:50

I wish I could go NC with my mum, but I know it will break her heart. I just can't get over how unsupportive she was, how she never believed in me and my sister, the only thing that mattered to her was whether I was in church on Sunday or not. I can't forgive her, but I can't cut her out of my life either and it's killing me.

Crayfishforyou · 28/07/2022 09:53

I curse people if they slight me. If someone barges in front of me, I curse them with blisters when they wear fancy shoes. If someone is rude to me, I curse them with those weird, painful, irritating tongue bobble things. If someone pisses me off I curse them with always having shit substitutions in their home deliveries.
I have hundreds of them.
I do this silently obviously, I’m not a complete nutter.

Roseglen84 · 28/07/2022 09:53

Mine is not very exciting, but I really dislike my sister and know that once my parents are gone I will go NC with her. I'm so sick of her drama and bullshit, and having to pretend that we are close when we both know we aren't.
My mother had a great relationship with her sisters so thinks we should be 'great friends' and tries to get us to spend time together, but my sister is a liar, and an emotional vampire and I will be happy to never have to deal with her bullshit again.
I will miss my nephews, but hopefully as they are teens now I can contact them separately and keep in touch. I envy people who have close relationships with their siblings, mine are arseholes.

I also echo what a previous poster said about a relative with dementia, my father is in the later stages and I wish for his sake and ours that he would just go peacefully in his sleep. I dread what is coming, and hate to see what this awful disease has already done to my lovely dad.

"...an arse licker to anyone above him-he trod on a lot of fingers on his way up..."

I've got this picture in my mind, he must be a contortionist.

My NDN moved out, and filled my just emptied recycling bin with generic, disgusting household crap. I get the rage and so kicked it over in the street.

I started to pick it up, then changed my mind. Moved the recycling bin further onto my property, half filled it with stuff to show it couldn't be MY bin they'd used made me sort out the piles of magazines and assorted paperwork and went through their bins until I found a couple of letters with their address on and placed it amongst the strew shit across the road. It's a tiny road with the side walls of 2 businesses opposite me. No one saw.

Then I called the council to report them. They were only moving a few roads over and I helpfully gave their new address to the council workers when they came to deal with the fly-tipped mess.

If they'd asked I would have stored a couple of black bags for a week and refilled their bin, or gave up space in mine. But they dumped and ran. Couldn't do it now, one of the businesses put CCTV up that covers the road and part of my front garden.

I have no feelings for my mum, its just a blank.

God, this made me feel so good. Thanks for this. I have the same. There's no love. I do consider her feelings, but I just don't love her. I can imagine my life without her.

I really want to write a book - I keep on thinking about it and an idea for a story has been pootling around in my head for a couple of years now, but can’t seem to build up the courage/motivation to actually write it. Would love to do it though.

Come on! Get it done!

tiger2691 · 28/07/2022 10:02

I divorced my first wife for adultery, I wasn't that bothered about her shagging my mate tbh, i said to other friends, "Good luck to him with that, it's like waving a pencil in a cave". I just needed to get away from her madness, she had after all, threatened to cut my dick off when I was asleep.

DillonPanthersTexas · 28/07/2022 10:05

We need more. Did it stop?

Absolutely it did, she even stopped walking past my house. I was afraid at first that I may had started some kind of tit for tat neighbourhood turd war but so far all calm on the western front.

Fuck her and her hairy shit arsed bark machine.

Lockheart · 28/07/2022 10:05

I'm a journo who can't make it into actual journalism so I like to ask people on MN to give me their darkest secrets for articles which I will publish without their consent.

Whoops, that should be the OP.

kc431 · 28/07/2022 10:06

I also hate working. I’ve hated every job I ever had and WFH has been the death of my career - with no manager looking over, I do the absolute bare minimum I can get away with without being fired. I scroll social media, do washing, go to town, browse internet etc. My previous job I did nothing for a year, lied that things were difficult/taking longer and told each project’s stakeholder that I was busy working on another project. I feel guilty but my job is often so dull that actually doing it seems impossible. Sometimes I fantasise about doing a “meaningful” job like medicine/teaching/police but think the shifts sound like WAY too much hard work, plus what if you retrain and still hate it? Too risky.

I spend a lot of time being bitter about even being born because I’ll be forced to spend 40 years working!

kc431 · 28/07/2022 10:09

A controversial one - I don’t enjoy sex. Slept with 7 people, never enjoyed it. I like all the clit-related stuff but it’s like my actual vagina is numb, they may as well rub their dick on my leg. I do it to keep my husband happy but I’d happily never have PIV sex again and just use a vibrator on the outside parts. It’s weird because I always fancy men and imagine having sex with them, but when it actually happens it’s always crap and I’m waiting for it to finish.

Confe55ion · 28/07/2022 10:09

I slept with one of my close friend’s boyfriend when I was 17.

I slept with a work colleague for two months and we would regularly leave separately and then meet up after to make it look like nothing was going on.

For all I criticise men my life certainly revolves around them in some ways…

I make tea with the milk and sugar and teabag in the cup and just port the hot water over the whole lot. It makes absolutely no difference. I drink loads of tea and I don't believe anyone can really tell if it has been made ‘properly’.

This is literally the only confession on this thread that I have judged 😂

GozillaGirl · 28/07/2022 10:11

I have been in love with the man I dated from ages 16-20 my entire life. Haven't seen him for 20 years, married and have DC.

I suffer from bouts of detachment where my life does not feel real to me. I just go through the motions and pretend.

Cccccheater · 28/07/2022 10:12

@drawacircleroundit

It's nothing that could cause harm to anyone.

And, in fairness, I didn't Google the answers. The exams were made up of questions that were answered essay style. To revise I answered the question that had been asked on previous exams over the years. Every question we had on every exam was a repeat so I looked on a photo I'd taken of the answer I'd already prepared.

CuteNFluffy · 28/07/2022 10:14

Going and staying no contact with my father wasn't a difficult or fraught experience - it was easy and a relief!

Plumtreebob · 28/07/2022 10:16

@ANiceBigCupOfTea - I am really sorry for your loss. If it wasn’t for some details I’d think I was your friend in this situation. My dear friend’s son was stillborn a couple of years ago, around the same time my son was born. It felt so unjust and unfair. My friend has a 6 month old now but I am aware that being around my son is understandably difficult for her, so I always make time to regularly meet up alone. We are both invited to a wedding next year and my son will be there and I am twisting myself in knots about how to try and make this as least painful for my friend as possible without impacting my son as well. You sound like such a lovely person, I hope the wedding goes well. 💐

Miggymoggymugwumps · 28/07/2022 10:17

I regularly 'accidentally' forget to pay for a bar of chocolate when doing the weekly shop. Somehow it manages to slip down between the end of the trolley & my handbag & I just don't see it!!!
