No telling us that you will stop whining on the RANT thread. That's what this thread is all about. If we can't rant, what do we have left?

TB, I'm so sorry you're hurting. I understand why as I've been keeping up. What you're experiencing is exactly why I don't go there anymore. The difference between here and there, is that if someone is blatantly in-your-face wayward, its-not-my-fault-no-matter-what-you-say, or just plain hateful, they are called out here. But most of the time it's sincerely done out of caring (unless it's a troll, lol).

There's casting your pearls before the swine and there's sowing on fertile ground. (I just mixed up two metaphors badly, sorry).

Anyway, you have a good heart and I hate to see you wasting the wealth of experience and knowledge that you have or defending someone who has bragged about how they like to "stir things up".

Others are just cold and callous and it comes through in their writings. There are also outright lies being told and jealousy abounds.

You are in my prayers. I think you have a TON to offer.

(((TB)))

AWWWWWW...how can I whine if people are nice????? Now I can't keep being hormonal. And I am definitely hormonal, which is my own fault. I prayed that no unwelcome aunts would ruin my romantic weekend in a couple weeks.

Ha! I bet all the men are sorry they read THAT.

Actually, DH noticed I was stressed and we talked and he let me rant and then he ranted about some school stuff and we ranted together and then I was relieved.

For those who don't know all about our story....this mutual supportive ranting and depending on each other is big good stuff.

So now everyone can rant about how mercurial I have been all day and how sickening I am right now. smile

DITTO PM's LMAO

On a similar note, and maybe not right for the rant thread since it is funny, my DS10 is starting to take sex-ed in school. He came home from his first day of learning and said, "Mommy, what did it feel like when you started puberty?" I almost choked on my dinner. And guess what he was asking about? Yep, the same thing TBelle was talking about. Out of the mouths of babes. laugh

Yeah....one of the many reasons MEN have it easy.....yeah, THEY don't have mean old aunts and little PEOPLE coming out of their body!

Sorry....I couldn't resist. I wouldn't ever want to be a man....all that burping and body hair and stuff.....plus men can't wear tiaras or poof their hair or get rhinestones put on their fingernails (no I have never done that) or carry around annoying little dogs in their purses. Well ,they could.....but I think Queer Eye was cancelled a couple of years ago!

RuPaul is actually a very nice bald man.
I have met him.
When he is in his performance costume, he is gorgeous.
And well over 6'4" tall.
Intimidating, when "she" is also wearing a tall wig.

Old time MBer who say it is OK to TRASH the betrayed spouse on this forum.
Essentially telling the MB-newbie wayward spouse he is the victim in the marriage.
Thereby GREEN LIGHTING the adultery.

Shame on YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE naughty mad naughty mad

There is a way to express empathy for a long & difficult marriage without CALLING THE BETRAYED SPOUSE NAMES

Agree. And out of 47 posts, this is the one thing the wayward latches onto. What a help!

I think the phrase "true feelings" puke is such a load of teenage crap.

STOP SAYING THIS DRIVEL!

Events may be proven true or untrue.
Feelings just are.
Feelings have no IQ.
Feelings are not reason.
There is no formula to prove a feeling is "true" puke

People have watched too much "The Bachelor".

My vent for today is about near 30 year old grown children that refuse to do what this future grandma wants and get married and have my grandbabies already!
