The new "my house is on fire" standard post

Remember how 2011 was the year of the "my house is on fire; how do I get the post office to hold my mail?" style thread?  Is this year going to be the year of "my husband f*cked my whole family on a bed of my savings that he absconded with; am I overreacting by telling him he's in the doghouse?"

Re: The new "my house is on fire" standard post

  • You mean like, My husband forced me to have sex with his friend and I feel icky about it. Am I overreacting?

    Or, My husband calls my mom every time we get in an argument and it pisses me off. Am I overreacting?

    eta- I can't believe I forgot this one: My H wanted to cheat on me 4 months after we got married, but I'm upset that he talks to my mom- oh, wait, that's so 2010. Or...ummm...2011.

     

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • Well, technically that one was more "my husband is a cheater and airs our dirty laundry to mom" post, but yeah.

    Also notable: simplyinpenguin's "my husband is a xanax addict who won't move away from his dealer, pressures me to make out with women, won't let me see any of his mail or finances ever ever ever, and won't give me my own statements so that I can take care of my debt; isn't he annoying!" post on ML.

  • I just find myself constantly questioning the overall stupidity of the human species, especially when it comes to romantic relationships.

    Did anyone think to ask if he tried to cheat with the mom?  I mean, since I've been home sick this week I've been able to watch Maury and Springer and that totally sounds like a show they'd have.

    Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have.

    OMG! I didn't even think of that.

    I feel like dipping my brain in bleach. Unread! Unimagine!

  • The tail end of 2011 was "My husband basically told me to go myself for a Christmas present although I spent $1k and lots of time and energy on getting him a lovely gift from our child... should I go out and get a mani/pedi to make it all better that I'm married to an inconsiderate, selfish azzhole".

    I check out a couple weeks before the holidays for this reason, every year.

    Yes! It's like the holidays make all communication paths just shut down.

    nah, my favorite are the ones where the H got them something practical that they clearly needed and they got him something totally girly and frivolous, and he's the inconsiderate assh*le because they got him something 'from the heart'.
