AIBU to feel think this woman has the maturity of a 6 year old, and the self-awareness of a corpse?

The headline gives you an idea...

"I’m a single mum who’s turned to food banks after spending £1k on my bloke’s holiday – when we got home I was ghosted"

The details in the story show a woman who is breathtakingly irresponsible...

Does she expect seriously sympathy for her astounding fecklessness and utter stupidity?

Well this was garbled. Oh well.

When I see someone living life in a way I think is damaging to their self interest, I don't point and jeer.

If I had lived the life that woman has, maybe I too would make similar choices.

It takes all sorts and the desire to throw stones at those who make bad decisions is not nice.

My position is nothing to do with blaming a man, but more to do with not pointing at those who fuck up.

The difference is that it's not just her life here....

It's the wellbeing of her kids with a man she hardly knows; it's the delivery guy being conned with a son story into giving £40 (i say conned as I very much doubt he'd have given anything had he known she was pissing away her money in lobster in Cyprus shortly beforehand); and it's kind and well-meaning people who donate and volunteer at the food bank that she's making mugs of whilst she shamelessly sells her story.

My position is nothing to do with blaming a man, but more to do with not pointing at those who fuck up.

If she didn't want people to have opinions on her decisions, she shouldn't have sold
her story! She chose to make it public!

It’s not “infantilising” or dehumanising women to say when one has been the victim of a recognised and well known romance scam that many shit men do to vulnerable single mothers.

Where you see vulnerability, I see selfishness...

By your own title and OP you think this woman is not very bright to put it mildly. People like that tend to be vulnerable. You can't have it both ways.

My wife is currently destroying me by compulsively lying and during this she went to a food bank with my children and told them and her friends who were with her that I was the reason they were eating out of a food bank. The whole while, thousands on card in her pocket... that I put in for her and the children.

She sure ain't vulnerable she takes whatever she wants, presumably food for those in need too.
