    Just out of curiosity, you are aware how discussion forums work? A poster requesting feedback from the interwebs is not the same as some random giving you a hug. What did you expect here, she'd make a post and no one would say anything because they don't know the whole story? That's some weird *kitten*

    True, but we should all call out Jof because how dare he possibly consider another side of the story.

    Jof, you should know you are wrong. Please to sit in the corner and wallow in your wrongness. When you realize what you have done, perhaps we can discuss you leaving the corner.

    This is the OP's original post when she started MFP... Looking at it now in comparison to this post, my opinion is that they are both unhealthy mentally...

    Actually no, it's not different. The girl in the restaurant assumed my husband was being an *kitten* to me without even knowing anything about what was going on.

    Everyone is assuming that the OP is in an abusive relationship without knowing anything about their background. I understand that she went on here to vent but it seems like everyone's initial reaction is to tell them to get rid of their boyfriend, husband what have you. I typically like to get the whole picture of a situation before making a judgement call.

    Did you ask the hugger for her opinion?

    Who's this everyone you speak of?

    Perhaps. Or perhaps she's just a little too open about negative emotions on the internet. I doubt you are really qualified to diagnose her mental health based on 2 forum posts.

    Only one way to solve this, has anyone got op's boyfriend on speed dial?

    I'm disappointed in the lack of arrows you've taken for this well-reasoned stance.

    Here. You can have a few of mine from earlier in the thread. I'm hoping they're gender neutral and not just for men (but have suspicions that may be the case).

    Never for a moment did I attempt to diagnose her. I made that clear by stating that this was MY OPINION

    Yes, I am aware that your diagnosis of mentally unhealthy was merely opinion. I was just pointing out that it was an uninformed opinion based on very little information.

    Sure, of course having your husband on a call for a while, appearing to give you the cold shoulder, and having some weirdo decide to comfort you is totally the same as OP's boyfriend making her weigh herself in front of him and then ACTUALLY giving her the cold shoulder for 24 plus hours. What were we thinking?! Makes total sense now.

    Duly noted observation. So I'm the only one in 5 pages giving an opinion? Really? Good job identifying that.

    I believe others did though I didn't see anyone else search out a past post to share here as some type of backup.
