I’ll start.

That having a one syllable first name and surname is an absolute no no.

If your partner has assets, you must marry them, that way you’ll get half if you get divorced.

If you’re the one with the assets, you must not marry them, that way, they won’t get half if you get divorced.

That I'm the world's worst mum because I got my daughters ears pierced at Claire and I should have my kids removed by ss because I teach them to pronounce H as aitch

It is aitch. As explained by Alan Partridge.

I hope you are in a better place now Flowers

I find it really heartening when posters can help women in abusive relationships.

I am @RampantIvy , thank you. I started putting up barriers to try and prevent his attempts which did make a difference but changed tack and he ramped it up. Thankfully he finally left for the OW (she was part of the reason I think he ramped it up) and as soon as he was out of the door I could start to heal, although that wasn't an easy process. I feel very calm and contented now, thank you Flowers

This thing with answering the door! Both posters are right. 💐

When I'm physically well I'll be all smiles opening the door, helping neighbours and would feel a bit stressed about missing a knock in case it was really important.

When I'm not physically well, all I care about is my safe comfortable space and I feel a bit vulnerable to door knocks if I don't know it's my Amazon delivery! I can go from neighbour of the year to mentally thinking 'get to hell and leave me alone' quite easily.

There you go, a bun fight in an empty room. Because I don't want to traipse up and down the stairs opening the door to chuggers, I'd step over someone shouting for help on the street.

I've just found out today that there are actual adults who will not only not answer their door but would also happily step over someone shouting for help, god help any child who may have a person like this as a role model, imagine thinking acting like that is normal adult behaviour

Imagine. Won't anyone make stuff up and think about the children!😱

Yeah, that's not what it said though.

Comprehension is SO important and you just did exactly what the person was complaining about.

There are a few of them willfully misinterpreting me and yes, it's very common on here. It's quite funny.

…that shaving your legs is the fault of the patriarchy, and that it is very freeing to walk around as if you have two seal cubs clinging on to you.

And choosing to remove your pubic hair, even if you are lesbian is pandering to men and will result in you being put in the stocks.
