It's a high-maintenance internet relationship that I'm not really looking for.
I like my internet relationships low maintenance too. Like a Honda. Maybe a little drama every now and again. You know, like a flat tire.
Lol. And truly, I don't want to sound like a dick. I love my friends, including the e ones. I've made wonderful friendships here (smooches Jermys). And I've received the kindest, most heartfelt support here, too (and it's ongoing (my mom)). But seriously, when everything ever is dramatic, you have to take a step back and wonder.
If you're going to chastise the group you need to make it shorter. Most of us suffer from an acute case of TL;DR.
I'm not chastising the group. I like this group. All I'm saying is that I think people make up AEs because they don't feel safe to be themselves, warts and all, because of the criticism. If the meanness stopped, slowed down, or went away, I think the AEs would pretty much disappear as well. Nuff said.
Who are you, anyway? Miss Polly Pure Bread?? The meanness will never go away, but even if it did, the AE's would NOT disappear. You need to put down the crackpipe, dearie.

I'm not getting the "were a bunch of meanies" vibe anywhere.
I agree. I've been mostly lurking and periodically posting since the Exodus. Overall, the women on this board offer help (and criticism) because people ask for it.
I've seen great kindness, empathy, and advice. I wouldn't stick around and try to integrate myself if that wasn't the case.
Wow, there's so much I forgot about, too ... The teeth, the death of her dog, multiple other injuries ... If this is real she's had a fucking killer 6 months and I feel awful for her. If not, I'm not surprised.
Ether way it sucks. I really felt bad when she talked about her nephew and other problems, I was really sad too.
I'll admit sometimes I wonder if you guys think I'm fake with the horrible stuff that happened in the last few months. I promise I'm real though!
Well unfortunately, there was external confirmation of your fil stuff
But forgets she has a 3 month old nephew? Who then later passes away?
Just because she doesn't mention all her family members does not mean she's not real. You're reaching.
I don't know where I stand besides being uncomfortable.
No.
Someone asked her point blank, "do you have any nieces and nephews?"
She replied:

i don't know. i have three nieces, but only regularly talk about two of them (i'm not close to the oldest one's mom at all) so i could see just throwing out "i have two nieces" or something.
i'm reaching, aren't i?
The way she posted, it seemed like she was being pretty inclusive. I mean she even took the time to specify that her H was an only child - so none there. And talked about how they don't get to see the niece often.

Dang. I was really giving her the benefit of doubt unil the niece/nephew thing. I was actually really emotionally invested in the nephew story and the husband story. This sucks.
