OT: Valentine''s Day from Hades

[HVVS]

Saw this on another board, and since it does involve jewelry, here it is: From Hades

Y''all count your blessings, yeh hear?

 

[oobiecoo]

oh my... I''m about halfway through and I feel so bad for that poor lady!

 

[that_someone_special]

At first, I was laughing my butt off, but when it got to pages 30+ I was really sad for her

Agreed. The beginning is ridiculously funny. Did you see he gave her a unicorn engagement ring???

But then it gets super depressing. I feel bad they have a kid cause not only does that kid have a jerk for a dad but it looks like he''s gonna have some divorced parents real soon...

 

[sunnyd]

Seriously this guy is a terrible husband!

 

[rhbgirl24]

The whole time I''m reading this I seriously want to scream "Why are you with this guy??" Its not the bad gifts, but the fact that he doesn''t think of her at all..... hello, take her to a steak house when she doesn''t eat meat??

This. He is a selfish jerk, and she''s really dumb for just sticking around

 

[Tuckins1]

Oh my, that definitely isn''t my cup of tea...

 

[Liane]

I didn''t make it past the picture of the synthetic ruby with the devil horns. Oof.

I guess it could be cutely clueless if that were a one-time thing, but it doesn''t sound like that''s the case. Poor lady.

Something makes me feel like that was a troll... not real. I just don''t think she was real....

Uh, no. She''s a senior poster.

Anyway, they went to couples counseling today, hopefully some good will come of it.

 

[rierie26]

Wow. At first I thought he just had bad taste. Turns out he''s just a bad person (at least the way she painted him)!

 

[oddoneout]

What. The. Hell? Can someone actually have such bad taste in jewelry?

 

[somethingshiny]

Wow. As bad as it is, I hope she actually received it and it wasn''t a gift for *another*

 

[oddoneout]

He sound like a keeper in other ways too

.

 

[HollyS]

I can''t believe she''s actually going to couples counseling with him. I''d have already filed at the county courthouse. What. An. Ass.

The sh*tty jewelry gifting is nothing compared to his real issues.

Holly, I agree, the lousy presents are the least of their problems, he sounds like he has many issues...I feel badly for her, from her posts she sounds like a nice person. You know, I don''t like to make judgements, and he must have at least one redeeming quality since she married him, and had a child with him...but I can''t help but think what did she ever see in this guy???

I actually thought she might be a troll as well but she had definitely been on the forum for a while. Although she could just be a pathological lier of some sorts. I've known people in my life who I can totally see making that WHOLE thing up.

Not to devalue what she said if it is all true, it very well may be. Her husband really sucks if it is all true. Although the story did seem a bit scripted, IMO.

 

[April20]

That is a hot mess. I was doubting if it could be true the first ten pages or so, but then noticed she wasn''t a new poster. Who knows how true it is or isn''t, but it''s sad either way.

 

[yssie]

Wow.. I can't believe I just read all 45 pages of that..



The first few had me snorting into my tea

- didn't end so well, though

ETA: the bird was kinda cute..

 

[Hera]

Yeah, I didn''t think it was true either but was shocked when I saw the picture of his shirt

.
I feel pretty bad for her but I have to say that it would really help if she would say something. My husband once got me a tennis racket pendant and while I thought he was sweet that he was acknowledging a sport I like to play, I told him I would pick out my jewelry from now on.
