I can actually make up a whole scenario about this where Mrs Roland is completely in the right and he is the one who messed up. But we have NO idea of the background of this story or what agreement Roland and Co had regarding family communication and this issue.



Bingo. Right, wrong or indifferent, they had an agreement. changing that midstream without mutual agreement is going to make a problem; that shouldn't have been a surprise.




You're a poor substitute; at least when our Dear Departed posted something silly like that, the joke was perfectly clear. Aren't you just stealing someone else's material?

If I only get to talk to one person, I sort of go on what they say, if it sounds plausible. But nowhere did I say it was an absolute conclusion.

However - from the beginning, his very first post - before she even got angry, it does sound as if he felt intruded upon, and that his communications with his family were being "approved" by her. Which is something I would think is a problem.

Also, her reaction did sound somewhat childish to me - stomping off to bed.

But an absolute conclusion - no. Do I probably stand by my thoughts - yes.

My OH, when here, loves it, bathes in it, reads in it, and takes leisure time soaking away any stresses and strains. That, added with a nice glass of wine when desired ...
