His posting history of two whole posts?

And as to the OP consider this a lucky break. If all is as you said then you are waaaay better off without these people in your life. Your big mistake was not recognizing that sooner but better late than never as they say.

If you’ve read this thread, you’re familiar with it.

Hang in there. Soon you’ll be a full blown dipshit like me. It happens faster than you think.

I see that now, and I acknowledge my error in overlooking it earlier. I think I was thrown by the first reply, which said in part that this was “just another step on the road of suck you’ve been strolling on for some time.” I guess I assumed Sitnam was familiar with the OP’s history (and thus, that a history actually existed).

Ha! I’m _still_ trying to work my way up from garden-variety nitwit.

> I know this is The Pit, not IMHO, but I have some advice. It’s not a good idea when involved in litigation to post details about it to social media. Your wife’s lawyer could use anything he or she finds here against you in court. Even statements of yours that you think are innocuous could hurt your case. This is especially true in your case because you have things in your public profile that make you identifiable. When you vent your frustrations, it’s better to do it in person with a friend than in writing or in some other permanent form. Your communications with your lawyer are privileged, but most other communications are not.

Some people think message boards like this one are more anonymous than social media like Facebook, etc. but it’s easier to find things like this than most people think. I sure found that out about 10 years ago, when I Googled a friend’s e-mail address and found a message board where she had posted more than 10,000 times over the years, on a topic I had no idea she was even remotely interested in. I post-dived on her and found some details about a divorce she had gone through several years earlier than neither she nor her ex had shared with me, and while I was :eek: , I did keep in mind that this was only her side of it.

This is one reason why you shouldn’t post an e-mail address on a message board; she had done it there and that’s how I found her. She doesn’t know that I know about this, BTW, and I will never tell her.

Recently, I went back to that board and her post count had increased to 16,000; however, she abruptly stopped posting in 2010, except for a single post in 2012, and last visited that site in 2015.
