    no reasons not to have a rational conversation with others on the issue before approaching you significant other. many people get advice from friends, parents, siblings, therapists and the like on such things. and some people would like to do it anonymously on the internet.


    ^^^^^I agree!!
  • I wish this were like a talk show where we could go back and get updates from people who've posted threads requesting relationship advice.

    Where are they now...

    I'd like to see a reveal of how many were real and how many were troll.


    And how many were a complete misrepresentation of what happened (my guess, 80%)

    Yeah, where's that lady that was having a threesome with her friend's husband and her own? I want the update on THAT one.

    Oh! I forgot about that one! That one was good!

    Oh, I am sure she was super trolling

    I dunno. I ask advice from a close friend or mentor if I'm not sure what to do. Someone who knows both myself and my husband, and who will tell me if I'm being unreasonable.

    People on the internet, while potentially well-meaning (often not) aren't going to be able to provide an educated opinion. We're only getting one side of the story, and there are so many people who make up stories that it's hard to know whether to take things seriously. IMO if you need help, you're better off asking someone who really knows you and your situation.

    maybe they have or going to and would like some advice!!

    Ever thought of that mmmmmm :wink:

    Oh wait, i forgot, we cant ask for advice on the forums!!! Oh my fault, guess i didn't read the fine print!! :ohwell:

    People ask for advice, don't like what they hear, proceed to whine about how people aren't supportive blah blah blah...

    It's a forum for counting calories. You can ask a relationship question, but the whole point of the OP is that 1. You'd be better served actually talking to your partner 2. If you ask random strangers who are hungry for advice on your relationship don't be surprised when the gifs hit the fan.

    Yup.
  • and here's the obligatory kitteh gif. giphy.gif

    That cat just doesn't seem to care

    That cat has been dead for at least 15 minutes. Jsut sayin.

    Guys, you cant Chit-Chat in the Chit-Chat, Fun, and Games section, some of people on here are complaining about it! So guess we have to find somewhere else to go to chit-chat and ask for some honest advice! to bad..... :ohwell:

    From random strangers that don't (necessarily) have your best interests at heart? Sounds legit.

    DO tell me what to do! Just don't tell me to talk to him!! I mean, we are all well qualified doctors and therapists on MFP, after all. Who else would I go to with my problems??

    Chit-chat and honest advice about the state of a strangers relationship are two very different things.

    And that's the point. This is the goof around, I don't feel like working, show me the gifs, section of the forum that everyone turns to so they can forget their rumbling stomachs for 5 minutes. So when SallyJoinedThreeWeeksAgo posts asking what she should do about her abusive husband and the damage it's doing to her children..well...

    THIS AIN'T FREE THERAPY!

    Not everyone is gonna play nice. There are a bunch of users here, some with serious mental and emotional problems. i.e. my friends list. So what inevitably happens is no one takes it that serious, because they shouldn't have to. We're all strangers. What do I give a **** if your marriage isn't working? You married the guy. Now you want my advice on how to handle things. I don't know either of you. Most everyone here is probably the worst place a person could turn for advice...random, hungry strangers armed with gifs looking to kill time.

    Hell probably the only person who takes any of it as seriously as someone would want them to is ME, as is evidenced by this rambling and useless post, and that's because I'm an even bigger *kitten* than the rest of them.

    Free site…free therapy…..thought that went hand and hand. Guess I’m WAY out of this “Can’t ask, for no advice on here” loop!! So sad, so sad! And I THOUGHT this was a place where you can talk and ask whatever we want. Even if we just want to vent or see if someone is going through something similar! Damn it, guess ill go back to googling!!! I think I’ll ask MFP for a section that’s says “Need advice from HUMANS”. Will that be better for you! Oh I know I know I know, when you see a topic about someone talking about there bf/gf/husband/wife/partner (or all of the above, some people swing that way, you never know) you don’t read it or click on it…DING DING DIING!!! Or I can just ask MFP for our own column for “Need advice from HUMANS”! What do you think?? I’m curious!!

    maybe!! sometimes strangers will give you better advice then your friends, oh unless your friends are therapist, then i would definitely ask them first!! if not, strangers sound waaaaaaaaaaaay better!!!!

    Pretty sure you're missing the mark with the "sarcasm" you are attempting to dispense. Maybe retake your rosette stone lesson?? :huh: :flowerforyou:
