    Collection of Doomed Internet Relationships.

    I wanted to start something like this a long time ago when we had several cases in a month where hopeless romantics, (and often young and impressionable) came to share their woes about their failed-from-the-start-relationships. Whether they met in a chat room, forum, or some on-line game like World of Warcraft, the one thing they all have in common is that they've invested way too much into a fantasy.

    Many didn't just ask for advice, but rather in essence begged us to coddle them and tell them why their withering "relationship" was just fine, and how if "fate" or "God" should have it (ie. do it for them), things would turn out just fine.

    So here's a collection of links to threads of those who believed they were the exception despite all sharing distinct similarities in their situations (thus making it all too predictable the outcome).

    Should anyone else stumble across one of these threads, lemme know so we can add it to the list!

    Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
    Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
    Towards the sun, carry your name
    In warm hands you are given
    Ask the wind for the way
    Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
    Accept all as it is and do not blame
    God or the Devil

    I don't like this at all. I know you meant well when you posted this thread, but you have to consider how this makes the posters feel.

    I know that I would have felt offended if you had brought up one of my threads as an example of a hopeless case. This is sensitive stuff.
    You know that look women get when they want sex?
    Me neither!

    Ego, that's why you post *anonymously*. One you release your story to the ether, you'd better be prepared for it to become public domain.

    Otherwise, PM someone.

    People come here to get advice not to be made fun of. Displaying their cases like this is not ok in my opinion.

    The same reason why you don't laugh at disabled people.

    I dont think he meant any harm in it. I WAS one of those hopeless people when I started in here 4 years ago and if I were to read any of those old post, I'd probably vomit! What was I thinking?

    Those people who posted are not going to remember a few years from now they were even in here. There are so so many people that come in here for just "something" to fill that crazy void of hopelessness and in a few days, poof! They're gone.
    everything happens for a reason...beginning to wonder why.

    Their "case"?

    HAHAHAHAHA!

    There's no confidentiality agreement here.

    You post a thread like theirs and you'll see how quickly it's added to the list.
