I'm going to come clean. All of my blog posts, any mention of my personal life and opinions on everything have been a complete and utter fabrication. I'm really a happily married 55-year-old man with two adult children. "Wallyj84" is just a character I came up with to have some fun online that developed a life of its own.

Now this online fun has affected my real life. My wife found out about this site, has been checking out my post history and didn't like what she saw. We had a big fight about it and she left the house and is currently staying with our daughter. I tried to explain that it was just performance art, but she refused to understand.

What should I do? How can I patch things up with her?
 
I doubt there is anything new you can say. She has gone through your posts and heard what you had to say when she confronted you. Either she is going to get her head around this and accept it, or she isn't. I don't see that you can actually do anything.

Is she still reading lpsg? Reading this post? What has she told your daughter? Is your daughter now reading lpsg?

Is she looking at divorce? Or is she looking at making things up with you? I doubt anything you have written as "performance art" would be grounds for a divorce. Maybe she needs time. Maybe she needs the fig leaf of a big apology from you.

It is clear that you are in the dog house. However she is not squeaky clean. How did she find out about your online persona? Having found out, was reading posts akin to reading someone's mobile phone texts? Is it adult to leave? If she has told your daughter, has she crossed a line? (Surely a clear yes to this last.) Maybe she needs to think about why you have needed an avatar and the alternative reality on here. This isn't just about what you have done.

Someone once told me, never post something online that you'd be ashamed for your grandmother to see. Considering my grandmother was a wonderful lady who loved honesty the most over everything else, well, that's one thing. Not everyone has the same situation. I'm a firm believer in honesty and communication. When you don't tell someone something, i.e. keep a secret, that's one thing. When you have a secret that is somewhere in public, well, someone's going to find out sooner or later. You may have thought what you were doing was just for fun, isn't who you are, and no one will ever know. However, that's now how things work. People will see what you post, and assume it's you. It may not be your 'authentic self' but in a way it's who you are. Even if it's a tiny part.

Sounds like your wife has an issue with either what you post, or has an issue that you didn't tell her what you posted. Considering I've seen some of the stuff you've posted on here, I can see why she's upset. So now it's time to confront what you've posted. Not her, you. You must confront what you've posted, understand that it's no longer a secret, and make a determination as to how you want to deal with it. I'd suggest taking a break from being on here. What's more important, your posts on here, or your wife? My advice would be to take a break, talk to your wife, and find out what has her upset, and have some honest discussions with her as well as yourself.

Good luck!

With all due respect, considering you've made a living out of trolling the community for years (and have mostly gotten away with it), this is sort of like the boy crying wolf.

Even if it isn't that, and who really knows, it is pretty rich that you are asking for an honest? opinion when you've so deeply, and thoroughly shit this bed.

But, because I'm not an asshole, I'd just let her cool off. Try talking to her when she's less hysterical about whatever horrors she's dug up on you.

Edit: Ah, forgot about April Fool's. To that end: eat a dick for putting out more of the same.
 
Hmmm. I wish you could delete things you post in threads. I have posted crap that was just stupid that I didn’t mean or just didn’t want out there. It has made me think twice before posting now!

Oh, there are some direct and honest peeps here. (Not so many, of course, on April 1st.)
There was a Journo who said at one time............Humans are savages with a keyboard and not a spear..............or some such :)

Maybe it was Clive James. Funny fellow and intelligent, I miss his humour. Maybe it was me :) :)
 
@seventiesdemon Ironic that a journo coined that phrase, as journalists are one of the reasons behind society's oncoming end. They are helping hasten the Eschaton.

@wallyj84 You will have to excuse the incredulity of people on here. When a known troll notorious for sowing discord announces his sudden, newfound sincerity, there's going to be some eyebrows raised.

You might indeed be truthful in your statement; I will never know as I'm leaving the site soon.

If you are sincere, I hope that you and your wife patch things up. Good luck.

Now if this is on the for real. Just give it some time. When someone loves ya they look for a reason to stay

when someone doesn’t they look for a reason to go

In my experience few people break up over an instance

That's the nicest thing anyone ever said about Homo diurnarius.
Hastening the Eschaton.
Who'd a thunk it?
