Reply #33: It's not entirely assumption... [View All]

Other than the people that really know you here, no one knows what your relationship w/ your husband is like. Add that to the fact that you have made posts in the past alluding to your unhappiness or discontent in your "real life." Many things get lost in translation on the internets, and things aren't always received in the way they are intended because the many nuances that accompany a face to face conversation (eye contact, body language, tone of voice) just aren't there.

I suspect that for many others, like myself, the distaste came into play with the TONE of the posts. Everything started out okay, but then turned mean. It really wasn't obvious to anyone that didn't know any better that it was an all-inclusive joke amongst a group of buddies.

I harbor no ill-will or judgments against you at all - I just wanted to make an attempt to explain why what seems so OBVIOUS to you may have been lost on others.

That said ... if it hadn't been for the way it evolved into a major misunderstanding ... brilliant! Brilliantly conceived, just lacking a bit in the execution. ;)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, by the way! :party: :D
