    I want that on a tshirt!

    Although (sad face) who will tell me that I look nice in it? Oh, the horror of my singleness has washed right over me again. Or possibly not.:D

    Well I have come on here with the express intention of making Mr Spirit pull his socks up.

    Or is that not what this is about?

    It weren't broke so why did they try to fix it? They've fixed us single people good and proper, feels like I've been named, shamed and alienated :(
  • I always intepretated "relationships" on the old board as meaning interpersonal interaction. Not just with partners but families and friends. When I arrived to this new board it made it look like singletons don't interact with others! Where do you post if you're single but with a relationship issue? Do you have to be married to go in the couples one? Cohabiting? Is there a test?

    Hello fellow singlies.....looks like our advice and opinions are now of only use to us.
    I feel completely sidelined - what was wrong with the old forum and just skipping the posts that you weren't interested in.

    Its just made everything more difficult

    To me, being a singleton means not having kids, not being in a relationship, not living with a partner/OH.

    It looks more like "Single Mums Board" to me.

    Did you not know that singletons have no right to comment on a families board.

    Just stay away - where you belong.

    It's not as if any of you have any families to speak of anyway is it?....Oh hang on......

    MSE needs a "People Who Get Offended at the Drop of a Hat" board. Would be the busiest board on here by a mile.
