Even money says that there is no Guy Friend and I’d give about a 50% chance that there is no husband, either.

\*Psalm 141:3-4

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies!\*

Just keep in touch with reality April, and remember the above. 🙂

Eh, unless she’s so fundamentally deceptive as to present herself as someone she isn’t, there’s a real name and photo evidence of the husband and kids.

Not saying it’s impossible (though I think it’s unlikely) but freely doxxing herself is a poor strategy in that case.

It didn’t feel right. I was doing for the wrong reasons. Reason being to appease a bunch of strangers on.a message board.

[steps away a second to bang head on wall]

Okay I feel better. April, can I call you April? Thanks. April, no one wanted you to do or not do something just to appease us. We gave you advice based on our life experiences and knowledge. Almost 100% of that advice said cut off communications. Do whatever you want. It seems you will anyway.

We are not the bad guys here.

You continue to act with no sense of agency whatsoever. No wonder it is so easy for you to delude yourself - “yourself” has no coherent structure.

Yeah, the whole “I’m a victim of circumstances, swept away by events beyond my control” is bullshit. Own your life!

Are you retarded? I mean…seriously…did your mother lick lead paint and breath mercury fumes while she was pregnant with you?

Because that’s the only explanation for your behavior here and the behavior you report for yourself in the real world\*.  
\*Personally, btw, I think you’re lying about cuckolding your husband and haven’t told him jack shit–if you have, he’s either hoping to get rid of you (yay) or he’s he’s the biggest pussy that ever lived. Either one.

Great. Can we assume that by this time next week you will have declared yourself his spirit animal, or whatever the d20 dictates?

My husband isn’t a pussy, nor is he trying to get rid of me.  
That’s just stupid, if he wanted to get rid of me he could have done it already. And he isn’t a pussy, he just isn’t like other guys, at least according to you all. I guess it’s hard to understand a person who isn’t like everyone else.

I just telling the truth. Sorry if that isn’t believable. Maybe y’all are just so used to liars, you can’t understand a person who is literally an open book.

Yes, I may get confused and over emotional, but I’m honest about it.

Not going to happen.  
I know it’s fun to pile on an easy target. I hope y’all are enjoying yourselves. I’m finally at peace with the situation, so I find it extremely amusing how desperate some of you are to see it get dramatic again. It isn’t, so you can stop wringing your hands and holding your breath.

What? I don’t think you understood what I wrote. I didn’t suggest you were lying. At least, not to us.

He is a useless cuckhold with a dubious taste in women. Now stop talking to us and go masturbate to the memory of a guy friend who likes the idea of a large mormon who wants to fuck him.

Hell, your husband is so special maybe you should convince him to join in, you can all swan up to this losers place and have a very strange threesome. It will be awesome sex for you, and awesome drama to follow!
