I have had this thought many, many, many times when I’ve posted here. Firstly, if that’s the case for you after you’ve been here less than a year, imagine what everyone must think of me 2 + years later! Secondly, In all seriousness though, nobody feels that way. Scout is right, most people read along/comment with situations with only pure intentions, otherwise why bother? Lastly, one day while having those thoughts about what everyone on these boards must think of me, I stopped suddenly and realized that those worries were more likely a reflection of what I was thinking about myself.

And. This would be so. much. f-ing. easier. if. he. was. a. d!ck. all. day. long. Too bad he isn't the raging narcissist .


YUP. I feel this so much. If my WAH has been nothing but a d!ck/cold/angry consistently this whole time, I know I’d be a lot further along in my detachment process. I don’t think that’s a coincidence or an accident in my situation, and I don’t think it is in yours either. They do that on purpose. They are “nice” for many reasons, and one of them is to try and keep us where they want us. I know that helps fuel my anger, maybe it will help yourself too.
