Mumsnet #4

Was looking at the threads for those trying to conceive, I know it’s a sensitive subject for some but why do they post pictures of their pregnancy tests that are very obviously positive but still ask others “is this positive??” Same with tests that are negative “can you see another line??” when there is nothing there at all?

I think if you're dying for a positive result, you want to share when it's a definite positve. Likewise if it's negative you're hoping someone else can see a line that you can't

Jeepers, the new site is unusable.

can’t get beyond the sign in page, had the same log in details for years and it no longer recognises them.
Keeps throwing me off now enough though I have reregistered and the app no longer works.
if I do manage by some miracle to log in I get a cookies notification on every single page I open.


bloody awful

It’s such a toxic place, full of bullying twats

I'm purposefully leaving things out so the org isn't identifiable to be told my story doesn't add up despite saying I knew this

Incase it gets pulled - this has just arrived.

I am here just been really busy this evening. Yes I don't deny what I did, the reasons I didn't mention it in this particular thread are -
A. I am hugely ashamed
B. It was the biggest mistake of my life and was over many weeks ago
C. I did end up telling my husband and we were still trying to work things out
The question I asked in my original post was does anyone think the ticket thing is suspicious. I wasn't asking for opinions on if one partner has been messing about, is it ok for the other to do the same. And I'm not saying that to be argumentative. I genuinely wanted people's opinions as I was worried I was overreacting.
There is absolutely no excusing my behaviour but we had already planned our separation when I replied to this man. I'd been called old, not attractive anymore etc and yes, I enjoyed the attention.
We weren't in the same bed and were living separate lives. And I made a huge, huge mistake in meeting up one time after we'd agreed to try again.
I'm quite upset that some people are posting emojis of popcorn as if this is amusing, it is very much my life and it's shit right now. Comments about my poor child are also exceptionally hurtful.

I think I need a break from this but I am grateful for all the replies and suggestions/support.

Omg hang on…what?! Did she end up admitting to cheating on HIM? or was it a reverse and SHE was the one buying two tickets??

Anyone read the "we live on a farm next to an air bnb and their 5 year old has invaded our house at 8am and let our chickens out" thread? it reads to me like an exercise in creative writing (and not a very good one) - it's in AIBU if you cba, but its very long...

I was reading that last night, I need to go & catch up

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I never disputed any of that, I disputed the poster who I replied to who seemed to think perimenopausal was a made up phrase as they had never heard of it.

You quoted me and I did not say I hadn't heard of it

Chippy teas cost an arm & a dick these days.
Mind you the portion sizes are huge

I like your thinkiny @AlanBanan

 

[Pipsy]

Anyone reading the 'He ate my soup thread'? So sad. It's threads like that make me feel so affectionate about MN. I moan about them, but I have to admit MN has helped a LOT of women gain clarity and discover the latent confidence needed to rebuild their lives.

Can't mumsnet see if different accounts are the same person by ip address or other means? Why let this nonsense carry on?
