It must be the child in me that my counseller talked about, trying to please him/her, ha ha.

But OP, how can I be sure that your counsellor actually said that as I only have your word for it?

A quick update for anyone still following.
My wife went to the cottage on her own 3 days ago.

Waccoe what is the point of your working week?

Is it like most of us to pay the bills and have a weekend to look forward to with partner and family?

I think I would chuck it if my partner was going off for 3 days alone after a working week and leaving me on my ownsome.

It just doesnt sound like you and your wife are a partnership at the moment.

Don't worry OP, this happens all the time on threads like yours. All the honest, decent OPs are accused of lying. I have said this many times on several threads (although for some reason the Mods keeping deleting my posts or they delete the whole thread so you can't see them), but a lot of the people on here are very nasty indeed.

I really feel for you because as far as I can see, you have been totally honest throughout (why on earth would you feel you needed to lie to a group of strangers?).

Anyway, please don't be upset and please believe me that I have written this at least half a dozen times in the last few months when an honest OP has been accused of lying.

I would have actually been more surprised if you hadn't been accused of lying.

You've been a member here for 4 years and you have to ask that?

MSE is full of people making up complicated stories to gain attention and the Families Board is the worst example, because many people here are so gullible. Anybody with any sense takes people's stories with a shovel full of salt, particularly if they're inconsistent or have details added in later just when interest seems to be flagging.;)

Hi Dunroamin
I take your point but please tell me that wasn't aimed at me?

Of course people do, but I always give people the benefit of the doubt until they say something that makes me suspicious.

If people don't believe a thread then why on earth are they still reading it, let alone posting on it? Are their lives so sad that they have nothing better to do?

To be fair to her, my business doesn't take much of my time and I have plenty of time to myself, the children are old enough to see to themselves so she has earned some time to herself.

Whats the balance of your marriage these days - how much time do you spend together that you can called quality time?

Completely agree with your sentiments here.

Why do you have to go round threads telling people that other people on here are nasty? Theres already been one thread deralied this week with numerous posts removed, including ones that were perfectly polite because you seem to be on a mission to brand certain people nasty just because they dont agree with every single thing an OP says in their posts.

You actually have no idea whether someone is being honest, dishonest or anything in the middle and I strongly object to being labelled nasty by you (as I was in another thread because you pointed the finger at everyone who didnt agree with someone). I dont make offensive posts to anyone on here.

It is not your job to police threads and tell people they are nasty. It derails the thread and at times it just looks like pot stirring.

And in my view it damages the thread far more than people who disagree and then discuss why.

I will say it again, Scooby, I hope you don't think that applies to my postings?
