things i do/have done that would make Mn say LTB

[AnnThology]

Text a male mate about twenty times in one evening

met a man/men i met on the internet SEVERAL TIMES

Go on a course with a male colleague.

what are yours?

I think most of the LTB's are for people whose spouses are abusive and/or cheating.

Spend all evening and most of the night in a World of Warcraft raid with 39 other people, most of whom were young men.

Oh wait, we DID break up over that one.

Sorry, expat, you're right, this is not the kind of thread that should receive a straight answer. (Even though mine was a little bit twisty.)

People here have legitimate concerns about their relationships for legitimate reasons. Even without your post, they're already second guessing themselves. Or are they just all neurotic?

Oh .... I get it.... ... you're saying that MN says 'LTB' for trivial, innocent stuff! So subtle and clever the way you did that ...

LOl at WoW

they arent KNOWN for being super sexy , are they WOW men?

You do like a good stereotype, don't you, OP? A lot of people play WoW. Even sexy men aren't having sex all the time. You get all sorts of players; the only thing they have in common is that they enjoy the same hobby in between, you know, everything else they are doing in their lives. (Except for the ones who don't have a life.)

Anyway, it came down to a straight choice between WoW or my husband. No contest. After all, WoW has dragons.

fair enough

Are you bit unenamoured with MN, op ?

You don't have to stick around, you know. It's not compulsory.

Yawn
OP is so funny! And clever! And provocative!
OP, if you despise MNers so bloody much why do you persist in staying?

OH.

I think its a well known even in joke, that LTB is bandied about a lot, isn't it? No harm meant.

If it's a joke it's wearing really thin

sorry coggers.

I've never seen it bandied about in a serious way tbh

I have seen it suggested in the not-so-rare cases of abuse and disharmony for which many women are very good at minimising to their own detriment. Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes (ears) are a good thing for clarity and real understanding of the shit a woman may be putting up with for the good of **the family/the dcs/her career/his career/financial reasons

Have you any examples of it being bandied about unnecessarily in a serious fashion OP?

I have resolved to remove "LTB" from my lexicon, and am replacing it with "Show him the door"

Makes better sense, tbh. The dickheaded one gets to leave.

Probably just not the right board for this kind of thread AnnT.

Is that a helpful :) or a passive-aggressive :) bragmatic?

Well that's it, ladies, consider yourselves told. The shocking double standards displayed by MN have been exposed for what they are.

helpful.

I think ada is being ironic

oops, sorry, I thought you were taking ada's post seriously.

I need some caffeine ..

I was going for sarcasm, but I'll take irony as that makes me sound a bit more intelligent .
