Things you wouldn't admit to in real life

[TwinklyFawn]

Light hearted. I dislike my mum's boyfriend. I am sick of his constant grunting when i ask him a question. It is like he is incapable of saying yes or no to a simple question. He is a terrible bus driver. He drives like he is on a race track.

I have been verbally and emotionally abused for twenty five years by my husband. I’ve gone along with covering up the abuse and helped bolster his funny nice guy persona. Why? Because I’m terrified of the fallout for my kids, and what he’d do to get revenge if I pulled off the mask from his cruel face. Behind closed doors I’m sent to Coventry for days on end without knowing why, or I might get called a fucking miserable cow or fucking moron. My belongings get thrown in to piles in the house like they are junk. I’m not allowed to buy new glasses and have to try to see as best I can without. I can’t go anywhere without asking. I hear him throwing stuff around the house and it is always mine. I don’t think I can keep it to myself much longer. I’ve been a human piñata for too long now the abuse, the names, the lack of care if I get sick or lose a close family member, this human pinnata is going to explode pretty soon and god help us all from the repercussions. I dream of a peaceful life and pray every night that this nightmare will end.

If anyone doenst understand of why the body stores fat it’s absolutely you. It’s laudable that you’re telling other people they’re wrong.

If WW3 were to start tonight and we couldn’t get food deliveries to the UK and we had to have rations, we would all lose weight, like the poor souls living in war torn countries and where famine hits. When there isn’t enough food, we couldn’t overeat so by default weight loss occurs whether we wanted it to or not. If you’re seriously trying to dispute that, then you’re naive at best but at works utterly delusional.

I don't like my sister. I can't even say "I love her because she is my sister..." because I don't. However, I talk to her everyday and he approval is important to me. I am a loon!

So sorry you are going through this. Could you speak to Women’s Aid or the CAB to get some help?

I have to force myself to socialize with people outside my family. Leading up to any social event I'm very anxious, sometimes dreading it. I avoid doing anything that I can get out of.

My MIL won slimmer of the year at her slimming World group whilst secretly using fat jabs. She had to do a speech and won a prize. We all very much thought she was cheating, funnily she didn't agree with us!🤣

@Topraythingsgetbetter I also came out of an abusive relationship where I was terrified what my ex would do if i left. He was all smiles in public but I was on the receiving end at home. There was always the threat of hurting me. Im not minimising your situation but when I finally got out, I realised he was just a bully and I was stronger than i thought. I think you need to really speak to someone, get support somehow, if not for you, but for the kids. That's the main reason I got out, for my children.

A good friend gifted something very valuable and irreplaceable, which has been in their family for 150 years, as a thank you for helping them with their dad's funeral.
I immediately dropped it and broke it. Put it back in the case, and I guess I'll just never open the case again!

😂😂

@muteme take no notice of this poster. Have you looked into selective mutism? This is where people stop speaking, often in childhood, although they can speak. Mutism doesn't necessarily mean the person cannot physically speak. If you never speak to other people, but can talk at home or to the cat, that's a form of selective mutism, not attention seeking.

I don’t like being married or having children. I genuinely believe I wasn’t designed to be relied upon by others to this degree despite being super reliable, main wage earner, primary carer etc etc.

I’d like to just go and live in a forest with squirrels 🐿️

I'm sorry to read that x.

Have grieved and cried far more - by a huge margin - over the recent loss of my beautiful dog than I did over the recent deaths of MIL, FIL, DF, BIL and two close friends. They were all good people I cared about, and BIL and my friends were all only in their 40s or early 50s.

But my dog though… 💔😭

I give the one spoon I don't like to whoever has pissed me off most at mealtimes. They probably don't care about the spoon but it makes me feel better.

Yep. Just look at the Israelian hostage who was obese when they took him. He was definately not obese when released.

I would quite like to have sex with a woman (I’m married to a man!)
I really dislike my MIL
I hope I am a better mother to my child than my mother was/is to me

My middle adult child doesnt have much to do with us anymore and im not very upset about it. When he lived with us he was vile and he is now living a lovely life so im happy for him, and happy for our peace

I’m a man that posts on mumsnet.

Once again, you have no knowledge of the subject but that's been clear from the start. We could go back and forth all evening but instead let's celebrate with the thought of just how much weight has collectively been lost today thanks to GLP1s while you've been posting on here. Weight loss drugs are here to stay and the number of people benefitting is going to keep on increasing. That makes me extremely happy.

NHS. I regret every Christmas Day/weekend/public holiday spent at work instead of being with my family. The salary is crap, stress immense. No govt respects us either. Utterly taken for granted.

I suck my thumb while I sleep and have done since I was a baby…. I’m 58.
for many years I tried everything from wearing gloves in bed consistently for over a year to putting anti nail bite stuff in my thumb none of it’s ever worked. My husband of 13 years doesn’t care a hoot about it and is very supportive of my chronic anxiety… I had a bloody awful childhood and first 2 long relationships were abusive so it’s been my constant comfort while I’m asleep.
I once mentioned it to a nurse when I was in hospital after major surgery and she said it was far more common than you would think.

Can't really explain it, but there is something weirdly attractive about Rishi Sunak

I'll get my coat 🤣🤣

Well it’s my opinion that it’s the easy option because people don’t have the willpower to stop. That’s fine but own it and stop pretending some body’s are fundamentally different to others and people “Don’t understand”. It’s black and white and very much a first world ‘problem’.

Far fewer gay couples have killed children than heterosexual couples (or just heterosexual men), FFS.
Being gay doesn’t make you more inclined to be a rapist or murderer.

I've never heard of FND but I know someone who will no doubt be jumping on that bandwagon. She's been (privately) diagnosed with various things then later she's decided she didn't want those illnesses so tried a different private doctor to get a new diagnosis. She uses illness as an excuse to do nothing and have the world revolve around her.
