Does anyone else ever feel....

    • Gold Top Dog
    It almost feels like theres something Im not in on,


    This caught my eye. I often feel this way. I always just thought this was my normal parnoid self. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    I hope this thread makes you feel better.

    I know how you feel.  I sometimes feel left out...everyone seems to be on a first name basis and I don't know anybody's name.  I don't really feel ignored because all of my posts usually get answered, but they aren't the same friendly responses that other people get.  I know it's because I'm fairly new here, so it usually doesn't bother me too much. 
     
    Keep posting though!  I may not respond to that many, but I definitely read most of them.

    Amy - not only am I ignored, but when I post to someone else's thread there are never any more posts to that thread!

    Wow this thead has been a very interesting read.
     
    Hmm, Ive had a few, ok several drinks tonight, so at least you know Im being honest.  [sm=drinking47.gif]
     
    Im so sorry if this made it seem like Im in any way unapprecitative of the support Ive gotten in the past... SO sorry!  Because believe me you guys have gotten me through a lot.  The support I got when Kayla died, by absolute strangers(!) (because that was my very first post) was incredible.   I knew I had to stay.  And I did.  I said it in my second post that I would stick around and I certainly did.  There are a few people who I know dont ignore me and to those Im sorry if this post made you feel any less than perfect[:)].... 
     
    I know there are cliques.   I dont think its bad to say that, because, well... there are.  Its ok :)  really.... Its normal for certain groups of poeple to gravitate and respond moreso to each other... I guess for me lately Ive been thinking it was more than that, like there was something wrong with me all of a sudden with the group of regulars as a whole.  Ive very much been more a lurker lately.... my post count shows that I was once very active here...but recently not at all... and yeah I suppose my personal life has to do with my sensitivity[:(].   I dont even know where to begin with that.
     
    Hmmmmmmmm.   As for my personal life...   oh my god I want to give up.   I almost posted a thread about dating your husbands friend question.... or about other things... but I made my choices already and life is what it is...  No, the house hasnt sold yet, in fact I was at dinner with my parents tonight and we got a call with an offer while eating... but who knows if it will work out. 
     
    Im sorry if I sounded ungrateful for all the wonderful support Ive gotten from all of you... I guess I just suddenly fewlt like I dropped off the earth, which may have had nothing to do with you, or maybe just slightly and I took a few things personally.  I hate being sensitive...  not a normality for me, so it took a lot to post this and Im glad to see that Im not the only one who feels this way... I know everyone will at time but to have that reminder helped me.
     
    For anyone wondering Ive decided to leave my DH but we live together while we wait for this house to sell and every single day is a different mind frame of "maybe i can make this work" and "i hate this man i need to get out"./..kinda stressful.

    I'm really sorry to hear about the demise of your marriage. I truely hope that the road ahead of smoother. Good luck with the sale of your house.
    • Gold Top Dog
    the end of a marriage is a sad thing, but you need to do what you need to do for YOU.  i know some people who have tried to do what you are doing- living in the same house while "broken up"... hard to do.
     
    thank god for the unconditional love of a dog, right?
    • Gold Top Dog
    At least I'm not the only one that feels ignored. I sometimes don't feel like posting because it always seems half the time when I post that no one post in that thread.  I just try to not to think to much of it and think of other things.

    Sorry to hear that your marriage is meeting its demise and I hope that things get better for you. ((hugs))

    Amy,
    Im really looking forward to having you back... or at least, hoping that will be the case.

    Not only do I think that you're great, but I really miss Bailey too!

    I hope that things work out you way, as Im sure that things must be incredibly hard right now. If you ever need anything, please PM me. I'd be happy to listen.

    I feel like I'm ignored sometimes.... sometimes I do make the effort to read every reply to make sure I'm not repeating anything and then I bring up what I think is a really good point and no one responds at all and I feel a bit invisible.... but I don't take it personally.  It's just the nature of multi-person on line discussions.
     
    I'm sorry you're having a hard time right now... like Gina said (and I think you already know this) if you need to vent or need anyone to talk to, you know there are nine squillion sympathetic people here who will rally round just when you really need them.
     
    Hang in there, it will get better for you I'm sure of it!

    I have to say that I find it really interesting how pretty much all of the people who say they feel ignored are the ones that I pay a lot of attention to when they post.  I may not actually say that, but I make a mental note of it.  Also, I do tend to notice when people haven't posted in a while, but have kind of gotten used to people coming and going and feel like I am being nosey if I post something about it.

    But I usually get over it after I talk to my therapist, my mother and a few close friends from Idog.[;)

     
    There is a rumor going around that your mother doesn't like you very well either.  [:)]

    Been there myself and it can be overwhelming and exhausting.  Prior to going thru a divorce, I always thought people who made the decision must've been fine with it and just moved on.  I now know that it's very often not like that at all and the conflicting emotions can be paralyzing.  I'm sorry that you're going thru it and the best advice I can give you is to take care of yourself.  At the risk of sounding like a mom [:)] - remember to eat and get some rest.  Sometimes you just have to turn your brain off and say "I'm not going to think about this tonight".  Hugs to you Amy, and if you ever want to chat, you can PM me too.

    Wow.  Amy, you really are having to deal with a lot.  A marriage in shambles would be stressful enough, but having to live with the soon-to-be ex ... it boggles the mind.[sm=sad.gif] Just know that we're all here for you. And like Cathy said, remember to  take care of yourself.

    I can't think of anything you have ever said or done in this forum that would make us not like you or want to ignore you. I'm sorry that your going through the wringer.
     
    There were times I posted something and no one responded and I took it to mean that what I stated was either so agreeable that it was self-evident, or I could so wrong that it wasn't worth responding to, or, most likely, no one happened to see it.
     
    OTOH, Billy always gets responded to because he specifically posts what he does to get a rise out of someone.

    Even when I don't respond, I'm not ignoring you!  [:)
    I just think things go in cycles, and we don't always keep up with the sections we aren't as active on.
