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

Its hard isn't it!?

I absolutely hate my in-laws and wish they were dead (we aren’t married but they might be that as we live together and own a house a business)
They don’t give a toss about my DP or my stepdaughter (her mum passed away when she was 4) they never visit or call.
We travel an hour there and an hour back for birthdays, Christmas and visits in between.
If we go out for a meal we pay.
They completely pander to my partners sister, husband and children.
When my partners wife passed away, his parents were looking for a house and looked at bungalows round his, they loved the area, but decided to move 5 minutes from his sister as they put it “to be closer to her and the children” leaving DP with no one and an hour away from his family.
His mum passed away and since then him and his daughter haven’t had a birthday card or Christmas present from his dad (5 years) but his sister and their children have.
We visit. Phone and his sister says things like “you don’t visit enough” “why don’t come over more” ……what as opposed the zero times you lot have been to here?
My stepdaughter is 20 now and has never seen her family on her birthday and knows they’ve never visited yet sit and complain that we should visit them.
We ask, invite, invited them to stepdaughters school things….nothing. Excuses.
Yet they go to all his sisters childrens schools events.
I hate the lot of them.
The dad has vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s now and although that upsets me cause I am a care worker, the complaining from his sister falls on deaf ears.
I hate them all……I think it’s the effect it’s had on my stepdaughter cause she wanted them to visit, it hurt her when they would talk about going to see their other grandchildrens school things but would never go to see her.
My DP is used to it, I can attest to it, I’ve been with him since my stepdaughter was 8 and none of them have visited, despite being invited. They don’t phone or text.
His parents on the other hand visit his sister every Friday and Saturday and his parents pay for and meals. (Now it’s just his dad and his dad pays)
I fucking hate them and if there’s a just a fair god a giant piano would fall on them all. (Can we swear on here?)

sorry about the long post and if you’ve managed to read it all, congratulations…..I’m actually quite fucked off and slightly relieved to have vented.

@FatsoandtheFeast Is it Catriona pronounced “Cat-Tree-OH-na”? The O is supposed to be silent. Or is it Freya pronounced “Free Ya”?

THIS, I judge harshly!

kind of defeats the point of a no judgement thread....

Belleoverandover · 28/07/2022 19:10

I'd love to kick my OH out as he's a miserable, money grabbing, moaning, lazy . But I don't think he'd go quietly and our LO adores him (although he does nothing for LO).

I setup an ex (honey trap) to get out of a relationship with him.

twice I've finished LO's sweets and let OH take the blame (it usually is him)

pocoyo1 · 28/07/2022 19:11

I have fantasies of having enough money to buy a lovely big home for just me and my youngest,
leaving DH to stay in our current home😁

Diamondsareforever123 · 28/07/2022 19:13

I wee in the bath - it's good for the skin.
If I had loads of money I'd fly everywhere and not give a damn for the environment.

MrsMcisaCt · 28/07/2022 19:14

Every time I sleep with my husband I fantasise I'm with my neighbour instead. My neighbour is 23 and I am 50.

I was disappointed when my father in law's recent heart scare was only a scare. He is a sexist, rascist b'stard who enjoys embarrassing me.

Last week I properly shit myself. I've been taking fibre supplements and didn't make it to the loo. Never in my adult life has this happened.

I secretly look forward to my mother's demise. She deserves it, she's a toxic, black widow multiple marriages bitch.

I got really bad food poisoning in Venice and shit the bed. I didn't know it was coming until happened.

Bloody mortified!

I really want to fuck my boss. I applied for a considerably more stressful job in my organisation so that I can work directly with him. He's funny, intelligent, and I would ride him like Seabiscuit given the opportunity.

Alas, I'm a tired 42 year old single mum, newly out of a long-term abusive relationship, overweight and generally furious at the world, so I very much doubt he even thinks of me in the same way.

Le sigh.

Anyone noticed how bad men come off on this thread ?
It's sad really.

Specificnamechange4 · 28/07/2022 19:19

Oh god. I wanted to create a thread about this but knew I'd get a pasting.

I was seeing a separated man for a while, his wife decided he wanted to try again and he went back, we haven't stopped seeing each other and nobody knows.

I know it's wrong but I love him, I don't want or expect him to leave her for me, I just want to see him as it fits in well with my life.

Thank you for creating this thread x

Diamondsareforever123 · 28/07/2022 19:20

I hope that my family would die and leave me all the money. They have treated me like shit for years.

SaltFlakes · 28/07/2022 19:21

There are several times I've had (minor) dealings with coppers and thought: you really put the cunt in constable.

But I've been too afraid to say it out loud.

Yeh the married man who won't hit on acquaintances in case they tell his wife, not because it would be an extra humiliation for her to discover she knew the woman.

She will be better off without him.

Flightofnancy · 28/07/2022 19:23

I have a second Facebook account where I follow all my husband's exes. I check on them occasionally to convince myself that my husband is happier with me than he was with them.

Iwanttogo · 28/07/2022 19:23

I'm pretty sure my sister got pregnant just because I was pregnant and finally people noticed I existed.

I couldn't give a shit if I ever had contact with her ever again because she's an attention seeking cow.

lazarusb · 28/07/2022 19:24

I find it comforting that my abusive ex now has MH problems, is stuck in an unhappy marriage and is generally very miserable.

After what he did to ds and I, it's the least he deserves.

You never know. Sometimes you just have to go for it. I fucked my boss once and it led to one of the best relationships of my life. One of my greatest secrets is that I regret finishing it...he was handsome, funny and loved me so much.

On the other hand, my worst secret is that I cheated on quite a big exam once and got away with it. It didn't change the outcome of my life so now when my kids ask me about cheating, I can tell them exactly why there's absolutely no point.

badhappening · 28/07/2022 19:27

My FIL died and consequently my MIL is very very lonely and sad.

It's been a long time coming and I'm glad that at long last she's getting a taste of her own very nasty poisonous medicine.

Chuggie · 28/07/2022 19:28

Sometimes I stand looking out of my window with my arse hanging out. For some reason I enjoy the knowledge that anyone going past would just see someone looking out of their window and never know about my naked arse.

lol this made me laugh

NC for this.
I grew 6 marijuana plants indoors when DH was in late stage cancer and I wanted to try making cannabis oil for pain relief. My experience is film worthy! I had never even seen weed before and didn't realise that the plants would stink up my house and also my garden.
My Amazon account could have outed me and he still ended up on morphine.😢
