100% agree. Makes for a cringe worthy read sometimes. Its like reading mumsnet
Nah, they use too many weird acronyms over there. AIBU because of my STBEF, who turned out to be a PITA. EWCM FTW? Etc

Mumsnet is tragic, full of women who sit around on the sofa all day and complain their husband doesn’t do X/Y/Z and their only way out is a divorce or the other crazies tell each other to cheat and milk it as long as they can.
Exactly...
Doesn’t seem to apply here?
I've seen Mumsnet and this doesn't seem too common to me? There are the occasional ones but then a lot of women shooting them down, telling them it's wrong.
Admittedly I’ve only been on there twice but both times found threads on the first page where those behaviours were being encouraged.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone in this thread tell someone that cheating is okay or that divorce is their first and only option.
But you might find some people saying "She's not worth it, get rid, lawyer up, women are terrible".
I'm not saying that it doesn't happen on there, I'm just saying it's perhaps not a balanced view of women on there in general.
Being honest I don’t see that at all on here when we’re talking marriage and children involved, alas there’s going to be more of it on mumsnet due to the nature of that forum so it isn’t a fair comparison.
All I seem to read is about guys who have been cheated on and disrespected by their (hopefully ex) woman.
Additionally how sorry for themselves they feel and how their anxiety has "flared up" again. Frankly its pathetic (ln my opinion) and is the reason they are in that situation the first place.
No doubt I will be attacked by all the self righteous lefties now....
Nah, you are right. Some men can’t deal with women especially the odds are stacked against them.
Ask ARION as he seems to have all the answers or more than likely hasn’t even had a glance back from a woman in years.
You're one of the culprits!!
I've been with mine 6 years, just had our first child together.

The first, for certain going to be the last? Some advice might help instead of belittling others.
In what sense am I a culprit?
How have I belittled anyone? I have given an honest opinion, if you are offended by that then you need to grow up. What advice would you like? I have already expressed my thoughts.
Occasionally I lose a bit of ground with my Mrs and show weakness but I am aware of this and can make up for it. It is my opinion that if you are conscious of such situations then you should be OK.
"All the feelings, anxieties, dreams of her etc etc are now right back where they were when this all kicked off."
How can a woman be attracted to that? You need to show strength.

I’m not offended in the slightest as I don’t have the issues you’ve highlighted, but calling people pathetic for what could be a mental health issue isn’t going to sit well.
You can show as much strength as you like with some women and they’ll still chuck it in your face at a moments notice, if it was all about a show of strength then I think relationships would be a lot simpler than you’re making out.
You appear to be offended.
I have not "called" (are we on the playground?) anyone pathetic. I have highlighted certain behavioural traits are pathetic.
I have said it is my opinion multiple times, doesnt mean it is the right opinion.
So if a person is exhibiting those traits then?
Far more complex than just putting a label on traits with a wide variety of causes, I’ve seen undoubtedly strong willed men break down after a divorce or being made to go from seeing their children everyday to once or twice a week.
