Do you sit in front of the PC at home violently searching for your perfect wife whilst planning a lonely trip to a strip-club?

Go out and have a beer, make some real friends instead of typing your way into irreversible sadness.

She's got all uppity, moaning about me treating her as an object!! She barely speaks to me now and when she does it is only to bully me and to dish out verbal/physical abuse.

Its getting to the point now that we don't even have sex every night like before. I'm covered in bruises and I'm losing all my street cred with my boyz.

Can any of you ol' boyz help me??
Which one of you wants an answer first

It's all Tony Blair's fault!!

If someone else was in power we wouldnt have to sit at home alone masturbating into our own faeces while fantasising about co-workers and children's tv presenters.

I am the angel of death, the time of retribution is at hand.....

He wrote the thread in a rather abrupt way but I have to agree to a certain extent.

Sorry. Also, if you (not you ALi-B, people generally) "do" take offence.....well I'll say no more cos you know what I mean.

I like the replies though - hit the odd nerve didn't they. Sad geeks.
Why are you assuming that nobody knows one another?

We dont just all sit behind PC's and have no idea who everyone is - we have big meets and events where everyone gets to know each other - I have many good friends that have come as a result of 5 years on Scoobynet, so if I did ask "private life" advice, then there is a good chance that I would know the replyees well anyway.

You will find that Scoobynet NSR is a good source of experience and information, regardless of whether you know people or not.

I'd like to propose this question....

Is there anyone here who loves their job? Regardless of wage and forget possessions, and what I mean by that you wake up feeling "yay another day at work" or do you feel "sigh, another day of shoveling the s**t!"

Apply the same questions to Relationships.

If both are answered with "yes I am truely happy" You either have rose tinted spectacles, Chemistry's latest advancement of prozac or home-grown. Or you are in complete denial/ignorance to reality.

If you really are 100% happy, I'm sorry I just don't believe you...either that or you are the luckiest person alive. In which case, everyone hates you - so apply "Denial/Ignorance" to your condition...beacuse you don't have any freinds as they are all jealous .
I enjoy my job a lot and I actually took a paycut to take it That's not to say that I don't wish I could lay in more often and I do enjoy my days off, but I really truly enjoy being at work for the first time since I left school in '86.

I also enjoy my relationship a lot never had need to have an argument we just think the same way 99% of the time. The 1% we don't have the same opinion (see thread on Clio 182 or Civic Type R) we can discuss the pros and cons of both sides and always one or the other of us will change opinion. We have a great physical relationship too *ahem*

I'm not in denial. I don't wear rose-tinted spex. I'm just one lucky bas*ard

Let me say this then. Talking about things on here is an outlet. Some people have no one to turn to, hell the problem might even be these other people. I have known people cry from the happiness of someone listening to them without judging them and showing them that for every problem there is a solution, no matter how hard that solution may be, esp with regards to life problems.

People have killed themselves over less. Take the 03 STI driver that decided to end his life a while back and we discussed it. All he needed to do was talk to someone (trained) and he would prolly still be here, and on the road to recovery.

People post on here (sometimes under new accounts) because there is a stigma attached to people who aren't 100% normal in joe publics eye. Depression etc is seen as a weakness when it shouldnt be. It is also a lot easier to type here than to ring the samaritans and say "look I feel stupid ringing you up, I aint gonna top myself but im depressed" - It is a common feature of depression that the person whom it decends upon has a lower feeling of self worth, so even if they can get here and talk, its a step in the right direction and feels less like you are "bothering" busy people over petty things, when they genuinly are not.

I get your point but to say the guy with the STi would still be here?? You said "trained" people. Hell, I'm not trained ; are you?? Knowing some of the differing personalities on this site - I would NEVER post anything on here if I was in any sort of state of depression as it only takes 1 person to take the p!ss - thus making it worse for the depressed party.

So, I'll have to disagree and say that serious matters (serious - not who dented my bumper rubbish) should be kept private and not posted all over the net.

I would NOT advise anyone to risk posting personal things on here cos its likely to make them worse. A PM, ok but not threads.

There's a lot of good advice on here for sure, but i doubt that very much is ever acted upon. Like most things in life, opinions are usually only changed from expereince - doing what you believe to be the correct thing, and then learning from the effects. Don't think it makes people sad though - like going to Relate, ringing the Samaritans, joining a WeightWatchers' club or similar - you're signing up to talk to a stranger - where's the difference? Just be content that you aren't need of other people's input.

Maybe just as well then given that Greasemonkey is (allegedly) supposed to have been outed as a PS2 gamer with rallying fantasies rather than an experienced Scooby engineer who knows what he's talking about!!

LOL, hmmm. Technical information is one thing, but "you should do this/that/whatever for eternal happiness" can never be totally effective as all the circumstances cannot be known. But it's a good sounding board for some i guess.

Possibly. But men are notoriously bad at talking about (or even admitting) their problems to their male mates. Men are crap at solving emotional problems anyway!!

hold on I though 'real' men didn't have problems...cause except for the 'reluctant wife' issue thebigman is happy as Larry...that must be why this thread is so confusing (unsettling?), and all he wants to do is talk scoob...
