Yesterday I started a thread where I was sort of expecting reassurance and commiseration, but ended up feeling terrible about my own wrongdoings, and upset at not having had the response I had been hoping to get - admittedly with hindsight I didn't fully deserve much sympathy, but still it came as a bit of a shock.
The thread was called "Shocked and upset by this..." and is still in active conversations.
I've started a few threads like this before, where I was expecting a certain reaction and then it totally went the other way. One was about my dd walking on a garden wall and the woman living there having a go at me... I thought everybody would say she was a miserable cow, but I had underestimated the British esteem for personal property . The other one I can think of was when I had a row with my dh whether he should or shouldn't make an effort to eat his dinner after I made the effort to cook it.
I'm sure there have been others, but those stuck in my mind.
Anybody else had threads like this?
