Lack of Communication

[DrFaroohk]

Ok so here's why I post here on Fratching and bitch about my family or other things:

1) I know that I'm a complete asshole. I know it. It sucks. Most people are assholes and don't know it, and they are very comfortable living their asshole lives. I'm completely aware of being an asshole and am always trying to fight it. Sometimes its hard, so I come to anonymous places like this to complain about things I know I'm probably wrong about. I mean, where else am I going to complain that my 5 year old stepson is annoying as all hell? I learned from my parents that step families are touchy, touchy situations, and that bitching to my partner about what I think is wrong with her kid isn't going to get us anywhere except into a fight.

2) I know that whatever has me upset isn't the real issue. It's more likely just a manifestation of my anxiety and depression problems. Again, I still feel like I need to bitch, at least to vent and relieve some pressure, but I don't want to take it out on my wife and family.

3) Sometimes I feel like I CAN'T talk about what I want to. We want to have open communication, but many times the conversation is entirely one sided, met with scores of resounding silence.

And then comes in the snooping....

I honestly feel violated about the whole thing. I know its a public message board, but I came here to talk about stuff. She came here to spy on me. Big difference. and it wasn't to spy on me to see if I have a drug problem or if I'm cheating on her, it was just because she saw the history on the browser and decided she was going to be nosy. That's what upsets me about it.

I love you too honey! You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm sorry I'm weird and probably crazy and I'm trying my best to act like a normal person at home and to do that I have to be crazy SOMEWHERE and this seems like the best place to do that, but I can't anymore. I'll be finding some other place to be crazy now, and I hope my privacy will be better respected there.

So to get this off my chest, yes, what happened to your facebook page was because of me. I probably went a little overboard but I'm hoping I instilled that same feeling in you. I hope you felt a little sick in your stomach thinking "Oh my god, my personal space and privacy has just been violated, now I know how it feels."

I for one definitely know how YOU feel now, coming onto the internet to find someone complaining about you. Maybe we can both work on our communication skills a little better, huh? I'll try to be more open about what I'm feeling if you can maybe be a little more receptive?

I am still lost here.

Basically, someone got in trooooouuuuuble....

[blas87]

Well, color me tittered.

While this may not serve as an advice forum per se, I feel a little fooled that I actually responded to that fake stuff.

[Greenday]

Fake stuff?

I, for one, am a little skeptical about this whole thing. It just feels weird. I will not outright accuse either person, but I will say this:

This is just too....uh...perfectly played out....

This reminds of that thread on CS where someone got paid $20/hr and a college education to work at a library and then a patron masturbated with a public phone.

[blas87]

Haha, you remember that too?

I feel fooled, I truly do. I mean, the monkey thread was a little iffy, but I figured it was to lighten the mood and maybe break the ice.

But then the threads just got sillier and sillier and there was always some hidden meaning or joke.....now that the mods have discovered the same IP address....game over.

Wow. If you're going to screw with people, please have half of a functioning brain to fool them the right way.

[Boozy]

For the record: Butterfly and Dr. Faroohk have the same IP address. I'm failing to see how that means that any of this is fake. They are husband and wife.

It's impossible to know whether anything anyone posts on an internet forum is real, but I also don't see any solid evidence of trickery on Dr. Faroohk's part. Why is everyone jumping to such a conclusion?

LMAO I forgot about that!!! I stopped reading this after the first few posts, it hurts my brain.

[blas87]

Idk, my bullshit detector has just been going off lately. I lost interest in responding to certain threads because (in my opinion) I felt they weren't even seeking advice or a real conversation, just a joke or wanting attention.

Just like on CS, I quit responding to a certain poster's threads because I no longer actually believe that the conversations actually really happen....while I may have little to no faith left in humans, I really highly doubt that every single call or thread post is actually real.

Because everyone knows t3h Internetz is serious business!

I agree that it is impossible to know this, but it just feels a little funny to me.

As I stated before, I am not accusing anyone of anything right now, but...I don't know...it played out a little too perfectly for me.

Maybe I'm being a little cyincal (I'm known to do that).

If this is whole tread is true then I pass on my congrats to Butterfly and Dr. Faroohk at being able to work things through and I give my best wishes that things will continue to unfold in a wonderous way.

Yeah we do pretty well. We have our little spats every now and then but mostly its paradise here. I do tend to bitch a lot just because, but fortunately my wife is awesome enough to put up with me for some reason or another.
