AIBU to think that comprehension just isn't a strong point with some people.

[AngelsOnHigh]

I've noticed this quite a lot over the time I have on MN.

Referring to a recent thread re early retirement. The poster quite clearly stated that DH wanted to retire in 14 months (when mortgage paid) and wanted her to retire at the same time. She is 10 years his junior and works part time.

OK, first answer was "So he wants you both to retire in early forties"

Second response "Can you change to part time work"

I can understand this if we were 10 pages into the thread because we don't all have time to read all responses, but come on, the first two responses?

A penis beaker!!! Wtf.

And you really should have rsvp'd. People aren't psychic fgs.

your bubba your rules hun

You sound very self entitled and judgey OP. Not to mention passive aggressive. You are only getting a snapshot of other posters' lack of comprehension and know nothing at all about their lives. They could have SNs, or just received very bad news or, as HullyGully would no doubt point out if she were here, maybe their cat died.

I would of thought that this thread would of been deleted by now, what a bunch of cobras.

I notice OP hasn't been back...

Ginger is a good antidote to wind

Can everyone please just answer the ops question

She asked for support not judgement

Do you actually have any children OP?

Although op to be fair this is yet another case of
Op...aibu
Mn...Yes
Op...but
Mn...still ur
Op...no one understands

i nominate this thread for classics...

tongue only slightly in cheek

I blame it all on the demise of grammer schools

Kittens

The OP isn't listening. Why did you post in AIBU if you didn't expect to be told YWBU?

ooh kittens!

I find the same thing happens here.
Everytime I have sex he wants to dress up in a gimp suit (sorry if tmi)
There's no romance anymore

show some empathy FFS....

This is just another example of the patriarchy

Ffs wrong thread. Sorry.

P.s have nominated too

Just LTB.

On a serious note YANBU. Drives me mad when posters ignore some clearly stated information in an OP in their rush to reply/give offence/start a row.

The 'how to talk...' books are excellent on this subject

Shamelessly marking place

I don't think you have a mil problem op. You have a serious dh problem.

justashopgirl I don't think that insulting the op is helpful do you?
Have you never had a concern about lack of comprehension?
This isn't about empathy, it's about people deliberately misreading the op and providing unhelpful responses. Rtft and stop projecting
