Felling low and lonely tonight

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all keeping well.
So partner left on deployment nearly two weeks ago. I had managed to talk to him everyday but he’s disappeared for the last few days 🤷‍♀️ why. I have a feeling I know where he is but he just disappeared. I know things change all the time in the military. It’s not like I haven’t been through this before, it just seems to be hitting a bit different tho. It’s sunk in I think. I’ve had a very stressful weekend, my electricity went off and it was my son’s birthday party so had to cancel it all 😡 I’m a bit low in myself as well. I’m really missing him tonight

Know that if he’s not busy and having some downtime he’ll be thinking of you too, and probably a bit annoyed he can’t stay in touch.

It’s late so have a bedtime tea, put on one of his t-shirts, send him a good night message then find a sleep story (I love the Eric Braa ones on YouTube) and put your phone down.

That always works for me, and everything feels a bit better by the morning. You aren’t alone and you’re doing really well.

Awww bless you. I know not much about the military all I know is I couldn't go a day without speaking to my hubby. You will be fine, he will be fine maybe your just having a down day we all have them

@ZingyRoseEagle you disgusting person you’ve been reported

OneNeatBlueOrca · 02/08/2025 06:42

Fancy including his ugly face in it. With a reverse image search, it's pretty easy to find people.

fairislecable · 02/08/2025 06:44

Reported - who raised the bridge to let in this ugly troll !

dodidos · 02/08/2025 06:50

If I was a man with a penis like that I wouldn’t be showing my face!!

tomorrowchild · 02/08/2025 07:17

How did that pic get posted??? I thought all pics were screened first?? 🤢

AlphaFemaleNotBeta · 02/08/2025 07:24

Cannot believe it’s been up for an hour. Where does this upstanding gentleman work?

So did I!!!

LoudSnoringDog · 02/08/2025 07:32

I thought all pics were now screened too after the horrendous child abuse pictures that were posted a few months ago

come on mumsnet!!!

TouchOfSilverShampoo · 02/08/2025 07:33

Derailed a thread of a woman that’s looking for support.

Screenshot and reported - won’t be hard to find out who it is given that he’s shared his face.

How the hell did that get passed the screening???

AlphaFemaleNotBeta · 02/08/2025 07:33

Why haven’t @mnhqremoved the pst that has been reported over an hour ago? Who approved the photograph?

AlphaFemaleNotBeta · 02/08/2025 07:34

You came back a week later to post that?

AlphaFemaleNotBeta · 02/08/2025 07:40

It’s still there, why @mnhq

The lack of night time moderation causes major issues for this site

SoScarletItWas · 02/08/2025 07:46

@NightWotcher sorry to tag you but MNHQ are being very slow to respond to multiple reports of this pathetic dick pic

Took him that long to find it…it’s so small!

Disgusting predators deserve teeny weenies! 🤬

But it should just say image under review if nightshift are busy? There’s no rush to approve photographs, would rather they reviewed than just obviously approve

Rituelec · 02/08/2025 07:47

Why are mumsnet not removing this. Nearly threw up my coffee!

fairislecable · 02/08/2025 07:50

I have reported lots of posts in the past usually adverts etc and they are temporarily pulled very swiftly.

I am concerned that this is taking so long to be dealt with.

AlphaFemaleNotBeta · 02/08/2025 07:50

Still up? Why? @mnhq

Me too.

SoScarletItWas · 02/08/2025 07:53

I’ve linked the thread in the Night Watch board.

I thought there was a degree of AI for the image review, and we’d been assured it scanned for ‘flesh’ type tones - well it clearly doesn’t work!

PersephoneParlormaid · 02/08/2025 07:53

How is this still visible @MNHQ ?

There is no official night shift. That’s the issue. There are lovely volunteers who act as a night watch but they have limited admin powers.
