    I am going to come clean now. I am a troll but also a longstanding member of this forum. Personally I am married to a wonderful lady (who doesn't like knitting) and who is my rock.

    Well done to those who saw through me as a Troll, but there is moral in this story which has been hi lighted by many on here and extremely well. It is so nice to read, so many people have so high morals. Okay there is a lot of temptation out there at the moment, for those struggling with relationships. But for the fellas, keep your pants on, and the ladies out there, keep your bras on. Do not be tempted to stray. Your partners deserve more and there are many who will be cheated on, only for regret to creep in afterwards.

    Okay, our partners aren't perfect. Neither are we. But it is Christmas and we all deserve to be treated well.

    I have never been a Troll before and can't see me being a Troll again, but if it saves at least one marriage, then it will be worth it. You don't want to be reading this next year with the ghost of Christmas past sitting on your shoulder.

    Have a Great Christmas
    Have you found your wife work in non invasive cosmetic procedures yet?

    lol! I'm afraid you don't sound great now either! How on earth you think this pile of carp would be able to "save a marriage" I don't know! All you did was give some people a bit of entertainment, and some others a wasted 10 minutes. Bravo....:rolleyes:

    Why on earth would someone bother to make up a story like this, in order to prove a point? You may be a long-standing member of this forum, but I quite frankly think there is something really weird about starting a post such as you did, to try and prove a point - which I assume was stay with your partner, don't stray.

    This leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, you took the time and effort to make up a post that a lot of people replied to. it's not a nice thing to do, of course people thought it was a made up post, but I can't understand why you would go to the effort of doing such a post.

    How very very bizarre.
    Even my uneducated eye could see see TROLL screaming out from the page but how you think anyone would learn from your ramblings is beyond me.....
    Reckon you've hit the cava a bit too early.

    I suspected you were a troll and so didn't dignify the thread with a response.

    I hope that in reality you do not feel like that in any way at all, your wife deserves better.

    I do not see how your "story" holds any moral value. You are simply a time waster. There are people who come on here with genuine stresses/problems. I find it odd how you have the time to sit , concoct and type up such a story. You're plain weird!!

    I don't undestand what there is to "Bravo" about!
  • I enjoyed myself

    OP - well done. Lots of people are in the position of long term partners walking out on them after a scenario you described and they are posting on here in bits, desperate and lost. You will have made them feel soooooooo much better - not - by giving an imaginary script for their missing partners. Heap it on. Merry Christmas.

    Why are you being so negative towards me?

    Because you are about to break the most solemn vow of your life on a whim and ruin the life of someone you once loved enough to make a lifetime commitment to.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.
