One thread that's not lighthearted that I often remember is LIVID and how the termination of her (wanted) pregnancy wasn't covered by insurance. The baby had catastrophic, to-be-fatal developmental issues and unlikely to survive to term. If the baby did make it to term, s/he wouldn't have survived long.

Another super old timer here and think of LIVID often. That thread put a lot of sunlight on a terrible issue.

Forever an icon

+1 Who could forget lightly fried tuna.

I also remember the rehome the husband or rehome the pet posts. However the OP described the situation, DCUM was at least 50/50 between the husband and the pet.

The one that haunts me though is the one that started out with asking should OP move for spouse’s dream job across the country in CA and how they were settled in their dream home here with family nearby. Then gradually it was revealed the OP had cheated on his wife and still worked with affair partner because he saw no point in changing jobs because the affair had ended. Then one of their high school aged kids overheard or figured out what was going on and that was causing tension in their relationship. I hope the wife (ex-wife?) and kids are okay.
