My wife left me!

She didn't go anywhere. She is just having fun with my account. Suckers! For believing such a thing.

I think that was a really good one that your wife got over on you with her post!

The first thing that entered my mind when I read her post was that I remember getting some great advice from you in the past; and it was unfortunate that it happened. Then I read your post and laughed.

The first thing that entered my mind when I read of others getting pissed at you is that there must be a lot of folks here that are not too confident in their own relationship. Know what I mean....?

Great to have you back!

I don't think it's fair to accuse those who felt a mixture of shock and sympathy on reading the original post of having problems in their own relationship. This is not 'Off topic' where the jokes and humour are usually found, this is the Russian forum where a pretty tight knit supportive group of people hang out and seek advice and support. It is natural therefore that there would be some upset to find that this thread is just a game between the OP and his wife and seemingly at other people's expense.

It's easy to see, if you actually read the thread, that the OP and his wife have very little respect for anyone on these boards. And that disrespect probably extends to you too.

I am far from "not too confident" regarding my relationship. You don't "cry wolf" about something like the OP and spouse did. Did you read all the posts in this thread? People were rushing to the aid of an alleged fallen comrade and found someone laughing in their foolish faces.

I'm glad you found it funny, the majority of us did not!

Agreed

I found it completely juvenile, immature and just downright selfish.

Laugh it up, it's oh so funny!!!..... right.

Yeah, gotta say my previous post about being "over it" was dealt a severe blow by Sat's wife's followup post. Not over it anymore. An apology or just complete silence would have been better than whatever the hell that was. I'm with Jefferey and Babbiesgirl. What started as an unadvised "joke" has perhaps revealed some true colors. And while I could be cynical and write this off as just a cold-hearted lawyer-wannabe getting his feet wet, I know of at least one other attorney and his fiancee who would have never, ever even considered doing this to their friends on this board.

You know...usually when we have people who don't often frequent the Russian forum pop in, it's to either up their post count with a "me too" post or to harass us cavemen for importing our Russian sex slaves. But you had a whole outpouring of well-wishers mobilizing on your behalf. These are some good people. They may not be "the smartest guy in the room" but they cared enough to stop what they were doing to offer a complete stranger any kind of support they could.

The "joke" was in poor taste, but would have been forgiven, if not forgotten, with a simple apology. The "suckers" comment and the subsequent followup, however...well I'm just sorry that we've all turned out to be little squiggly marks on your computer for your own amusement. Maybe you should listen to your wife and spend less time here.

That's a nince little lala leap you took there, wasn't it? How the he!! did you come to that brilliant conclusion? Yesterday night, people browsing VJ, saw a thread titled "My wife left me!" followed by:

" Unfortunately she left me...

I do not know what to say... I will not write here again... "

So naturally, as is the nature of VJ-ers, people posted various sympathetic an commiserating words to the OP, only to be told, a short while later that

She didn't go anywhere. She is just having fun with my account. Suckers! For believing such a thing!

That's a proverbial 'slap in the face' if I ever saw one. To make matters worse...on comes the errant wife and arrogantly states, rather callously:

...You know, almost anything on the Internet should be taken with a grain of salt.

I apologize that my husband call you suckers. I was really shocked by this myself!

My husband said that since he is "the smartest guy in the room", whenever he passes the BAR exam, he is going to stop going to this forum because he will have better things to do. He was gonna lie to you guys and say that I got my citizenship and left. He was gonna put this as the reason of him leaving the forum...

In effect poopooing on well-intentioned VJ-ers even further. So not only are we suckers but we're 'stupid', take the internet too seriously, and are just a silly pastime for until(if is more appropriate a word, methinks) the Mr. passes the BAR exam.

This whole thread is just insulting, IMO and I agree w/ those that are upset at being made fools of. What I cannot understand, is how one can equate peoples' anger at being made to look like a fool for offering sympathy to someone who's marriage is over, to insecurity/lack of confidence in their relationship?

Good Lord! There's alotta drama over here.

We are all a tight knit group here and support each other through a very trying time.

It is a self created "trying" time. Plus all we have done and will do is follow the law and procedure as it was written. Nothing trying in that. At the law firm I worked we did hundreds of visas like this, and there was nothing "trying" about it.

They put their trust in this respected forum. I don't think they would appreciate feeling the answers received should be treated as highly skeptical.

All my "suggestions" and "advice" about the VJ process has been highly accurate and I would find it hard to believe that any of it would suddenly become "skeptical". The only thing people should be skeptical about is other people's personal lives, because who would really reveal that to a group of online strangers?

We reached out to you, Mr. & Mrs. Satellite. We rushed in to offer aid and comfort.

I am confused here. You don't know who I am, where I live, where I am from. I am just an anonymous poster. I find it difficult how anyone on here can offer "aid" and "comfort" to anyone else on here. Those are the kinds of things that can only be done in person in my opinion and not through type written words by anonymous people across the internet.

Doing this to their friends on this board.

Friends? Friends are people that you invite in your home, go for a drink with, etc. Not random people you met on an internet board. Acquaintances, at best.

[mox 298]

Wow.

You know, you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat the waiter at a restaurant. Likewise, I think you can learn a lot about a person by the way they treat "anonymous posters" and "acquaintances."

You seem like a smart person, Sat. Maybe one day you'll learn how to have a little class. In the meantime I really do hope you'll take your wife's advice and move on to someplace more worthy of your considerable intellect.

Ever heard of trying as in emotional?

Okay, I think you've made your point we are pretty much worthless. Since we don't really know you.

I'll let someone I consider a friend answer for himself, even though I guess I should consider him just a random acquaintance. Since we've never formally met.

I feel sorry for you Satellite, but for other reasons now.

I am reminded of what I read in another topic, where Slim wrote:

"Well that pretty much clears up everything.

What an efficient bunch here in the Russia Forum! Thanks, guys!"

I don't get what drives the cold and unfriendly attitude you inflict on fellow members...but it's probably some need to draw negative attention to yourself...which you do quite well. And we are certainly feeding your needs with our reactions to you and your wife's forum gamesmanship (if, indeed, your wife is truly involved in this milieu as you indicate). I do have a suggestion for you...if you don't like or want friendly or "personal" posts...how about you (and your wife) knocking off the bogus "family drama" posts...posts only true friends would tolerate or care about. If we have to continue to suffer you, how about sticking to "just the facts" like a good little lawyer.
