to be fed up with the number of threads about my ExP, my exDH, ExW ex ex ex -

[thedolly]

doesn't anyone stay together anymore?

did you dolly?

think it shows you are in a minority then

You should get back together with him, who, then you wouldn't have to call him ex, problem solved.

(That 'nope' was to TD, not obv to SGB who's speaking sense)

OK - there was the one about the bath, the Ex and the DS just the other day - do you know the one I mean?

What a fantastic idea, I will give him a call now

Agree with LovelyRita's first post. My DH is quite lovely/loving/lovable and so we don't piss each other off and I don't have anything really to say about him on a message board devoted to being unreasonable.

Sometimes he doesn't call me when he is going to be late home from work? Or sometimes when he gets the boy dressed he ends up looking like Wally from Where's Wally? Not really something I need help with.

The internet has this astonishing feature, where if you don't like something/someone you just click the red X in the far right corner and phoof! away they go. You could try that?

No problems, if you have any difficulties just let me know, I'll explain why it's necessary.

Is it true that nobody ever runs out of milk or bread at 10.00 o'clock at night in the county of Nirvana, Dolly?

i saw that thread Dolly

the point you are SPECTACULARLY missing is that the issues was important to the OP

she was using MN as a sounding board

i think you need to use your hide button a lot more

i don;t know the thread you mention

can i ask again why you posted this thread?

What i don't understand is if you find a thread pointless or petty why you bother to read it. One person's pettiness is another person's genuine concern. I contributed to the thread you have mentioned. That mum was genuinely concerned. I disagreed with her but i certainly didn't think her thread was petty as it was important to her.
Sometimes silly things bother me and I post on here. Luckily i get heartfelt replies from people who put my mind at ease. I'm sure many mnetters read my thread and think, oh god get a life. They don't post that though, just move on. As should you.

Lulumama - Because I am fed up with the number of threads about my ExP etc that appear to be of a petty nature and I wondered if it was just me.

Well, at least I have my answer. I will consider this as an initiation to MN. I have been posting for about 4 months now and this thread has compounded many of my ideas.

I am a very ordinary person, no major hang ups, no enemies (until tonight), a few close friends that go way back, a hard working husband and no bad habits (well, not that many). I think as such I am definitely in the minority on here.

I will take my leave of this thread as I do indeed have my answer. I apologise to those of you that I have offended - it was not my intention to offend anyone.

thdolly... you won't have made enemies. This is just the way when you post in AIBU. People give their opinions (which you ask for in AIBU).

good to know barnsleybelle

My ex is fab and we get on better now then we did before we split up, he is my best friend.

i would not consider you an enemy

howewver, singling out lone parents for starting petty threads that make you fed up was hardly a good way to win friends and influence people

Good luck if it all goes tits up in a few years with your hard working husband.

"I am a very ordinary person, no major hang ups, no enemies (until tonight), a few close friends that go way back, a hard working husband and no bad habits (well, not that many). I think as such I am definitely in the minority on here"

So now as well as lack of empathy you're also throwing insults around about those of us on MN?

You still haven't answered Lulumama's question about what you hoped to achieve on this thread - or was it just to insult us all?

"I am a very ordinary person, no major hang ups, no enemies (until tonight), a few close friends that go way back, a hard working husband and no bad habits (well, not that many). I think as such I am definitely in the minority on here"

Hey, me too. I still think YABVU. I can add empathy to my list.

YABU - you never know, you might need to post on that topic one day. I hope you don't but your post essentially assumes that you won't and that's what makes people feel angry - what makes you different to anyone else?

I should have avoided wading in on this because I was making a slightly different point from the main thrust of the thread.
