Sorry for having an opinion again!
"get sorted" such insight
should I be sorry for not agreeing with you I just think you see things with such simplicity I don't think you get that some people don't have the options you propose as viable, yet you lack the understanding of that and that comes across as very blasé and rude.
I think if you want your opinion be prepared for others not to agree, and not take offence at everyone not thinking as you do.
Coz I too have my opinion and am not offended by yours. I know I strongly disagree with your opinion simple as that.

I am flabbergasted.....Jols if you knew the history behind Snorri's present predicament then you I think you would be writing completely different posts......

Sometimes you need to know the bigger picture.

However even without that knowledge you show little compassion for someone who is incredibly vulnerable and is actually looking for some support and contact.

Do you really think he is going to act on any of your suggestions? No, because he is unable to......

I hope you never find yourself in circumstances similar to his....

I do not know any of Snorris story.............but when you write something on the internet expect a reply.

We have had a thread on this before.....people sharing life probs

How can I be expected to know everyones life story.

If this is the case I should not reply to any thread cause there maybe something that happened in 1987 that I dont know about.

Just because you are in a long term relationship does not mean that you have support from someone. You probably won't care to look but if you do there are some posts on the circumstances Snorri finds himself in with regards his relationship.

Yes it does say that, It is not for me to comment on that however would your view change if he was not in a long term relationship? I ask that question as I said at the beginning of my post about realistic options that I was taking Snorri out of the equation as it was getting personal. And I asked the question about how would someone realistically try to overcome problems if they were in a certain situation and then listed the conditions that i was applying to the circumstances of an anonymous person
