[b]From Jeff's daily rundown:[/b]

[i]"The most active thread yesterday was titled, "Vent about marrying someone from a very underdeveloped country". The thread was originally posted in the "Off-Topic" forum but I moved it to the "Relationship Discussion (non-explicit)" forum. The original poster says that she and her family are visiting her husband's family in a country that is much less developed than the United States. They are staying with her husband's family in a house in which taking a warm shower requires mixing boiling hot water with cold water and using a bucket. There is no air conditioning or heat and stores that have the items they would like to purchase are a three-hour drive away. The original poster and her kids are miserable but her husband is not understanding of the challenges they are facing. The original poster is very upset with him and using this thread to vent. This thread has already reached 21 pages. There are posters who are not sympathetic to the original poster and generally criticized her attitude and provided advice regarding what they believe are easy things that she can do to adjust. Other posters are more supportive of her and critical of her husband. The original poster has previously posted other threads about her husband and travels to his native country which results in the original poster being recognized by others who linked to her earlier threads. There are a number of disputes about whether or not the original poster is a troll, with one poster even starting a thread asking this in the "Website Feedback" forum. As I said in that thread, the poster is posting from Bangladesh, the country to which posters identified her as referring. [/i]

🚩[b][i]However, this morning I noticed that the original poster has done quite a bit of sock puppeting, mostly offering what appears to be third-person defenses of herself. The thread is full of repeated patterns in which the original poster complained about something, posters offered advice for improving whatever that is, the original poster then explains why the advice won't work, other posters criticize her, the original poster sock puppets a supportive message, and then the original poster again explains why the advice won't work. [/i][/b]

[i]The thread is also full of Indians, people related to Indians, or people who have been to India who believe that they have all the answers for the original poster. But, as with all other advice, the original poster is not receptive and is convinced that what applies to India is irrelevent to Bangladesh. Some posters engage with this thread as if it is some sort of mystery that they most solve. The city in which she is visiting was identified and posters provided the average daily temperatures, population statistics, and other information that they think shows the original poster is misstating the reality of conditions. [/i]

🚩[i][b]Given the frequency with which the original poster has been posting — over 60 posts in 24 hours — it is clear that while the home in which she is staying may not have running warm water, heat, or a modern kitchen, it has a good Internet connection."[/i][/b]

Come on, OP.
It's never good to sockpuppet your own posts -- especially when you're looking for support from us. 😕

Has OP mentioned [i]anything[/i] about why she's been sock puppeting?? 
I see that she's answered every single other post, but conveniently not that one.

I really hope the OP isn't the person that wrote "To be fair to Jeff (not a sock puppeter!!)" because Jeff checks for sock puppeting by IP address, not the region or country your in.  
Jeff wouldn't say OP was sock puppeting unless he knew for sure.

Also, he said the writing style is very obvious, but that's beside the point.

She said she forgot to identify herself as OP in those posts, but never responded when it was pointed out she referred to herself in the 3rd person.

She also hasn’t responded to other questions like who is translating for her (I would die to see my husband translate her sister talking about her underwear!), when/where her husband learned English (purely out of curiosity since my own husband learned English as an adult), or what she plans to do with the husband who threatened divorce if she didn’t go but then doesn’t seem to care about her or the kids now that they are there.
