Wait a goddamned minute! Sea turtles and land turtles can't even mate! And if they could, their offspring would likely be sterile.
Is that not the worst divorce fable ever? Life is meaningless.
But Santa! Easter Bunny! Tooth Fairy!
We tell children all sorts of lies.
I thought the story was pretty sweet and nice for young children.
those are fun lies about giving gifts. That turtle mess is dumb and harmless enough, but is going to read to a larger audience as a load of self-congratulatory drivel. Kind of like most of my posts here. Lol.
Nurse Cramer had stopped speaking to Nurse Duckett, her best friend, because of her liaison with Yossarian, but still went everywhere with Nurse Duckett since Nurse Duckett was her best friend....Nurse Cramer was prepared to begin talking to Nurse Duckett again if she repented and apologized.
Because we stopped talking about her. She's living in ML circa 2007.
I don't know what crawled up your ass, but if you think for a second that my primary concern in this thread ensuring I get attention, you've lost your fucking mind. I have known Em for 10 years. Watched her pregnant, watched her married, and now watched her start another phase of her life. And watched her get attacked over this on Facebook, then watched it happen again on here. So if you think for a second that I am more concerned about ensuring all attention stays on me, than I am about Emilie and news that is the important to her, you must really think I'm some sort of psychopath. I really thought that, after knowing me almost as long, you would have known me better than that. But, you know. I guess everything old is new again and stuff.
Okay, okay, but hopefully this thread has helped you make a decision about country living elle.
I just don't see a reason to be cruel to a friend. (I'm talking about the unnecessarily mean Facebook comments.)
I suppose ML is fair game because we are not all friends.
Can I ask a completely nosey question about this because it has been mentioned several times on here? People really went after her on FB for posting this? Like her "friends"? Because if so, wow. I see a lot of shit on my FB but if someone was going through a divorce, I cannot imagine commenting negatively about anything that person posted. I guess I am little pearl clutch over here about this. Because that really sucks.

Yeah, it was pretty mean and judgemental. I guess some of those people are family/common friends with her EXH?
Oh, I thought EM created the turtle story and she was telling FB that's how she explained the divorce to her kids and then they all flamed her. Not that this isn't any less weird I guess.

It does seem unnecessarily cruel...which makes me wonder if they are HER friends, or if they were her ex-H's friends (so hers by association) and they are pissed/judgey, about how this all went down. (Not the divorce, but the circumstances of the divorce.)
I mean, lets be real here. If someone did this to my BFF or my sister, I'd think very low of them and I 100% would not believe that there weren't shenanigans prior to the divorce, with this platonic bf. Even if I DID believe it, I would judge very harshly on the children being moved in so quickly. I'm am not saying that it's right or fair, or that anything DID happen prior to the divorce, but I think it's human nature to think and feel those things, when someone you love has been hurt.

I like the turtle story for kids although it sounds like EM's kids will be just fine without it since the divorce is amicable and they know and like dudeBFF.
It wouldn't have worked for us when our parents got divorced because I was 12 and a little too old for it, but also because my aunt was quick to tell me that the sea turtle (my dad) was fond of fucking other sea turtles.

If my H had been friends with a woman and I had expressed doubt and discomfort at whether it was truly platonic or not and had been told repeatedly over the course of a decade that I was crazy, there was NOTHING there and then literally days after agreeing to divorce he moved in with that woman and they bought a farm and she was now helping to raise my children before the ink was even dry on the divorce decree...holy shit I'd be devastated.* I'd doubt the entire marriage.
If I came on here and told everyone what had happened there would be no cries of "How romantic for your H! Glad he can finally be happy with the person he was meant to be with all along! Wow his new wife is gorgeous!"

I'm here. I think they were friends and/or family of her ex. There was also mention that one of them had recently gone through her own divorce, which would obviously cause a pretty strong reaction.
But -- yeah. If one of us came on here and said our H had left and immediately moved in with his allegedly-platonic BFF, and then immediately bought property together, there isn't one single person on this board who wouldn't raise an eyebrow and speculate, even if just inwardly.
See, I may think it, but to post some shitty comment on FB? I keep my FB as drama free as possible, so it just surprises me that friends of Emilie (who seem like a normal person) would get their jabs in that way. Of course if this happened on my FB, I would have my Mom telling everyone to fuck off. So there's that.
There are ten posts here per day about finding out via Facebook that your friends and family are unmitigated assholes. That's pretty much the point of the whole site. It's only a notch above the comment section in online news articles.
Why on earth would someone post that on FB? I mean, I figure out that people are divorcing when they change their last names on their FB profiles. Isn't that enough?

I think Oprah calls it, "Living Your TruthTM" Or, "Please Have a Seat", for us common folk.
