    Why should it be fake?

    Reads to me like a fantasy. "Billy" is a bit of a 2-dimensional character. Never seems to act like a real person. There's constant conflict but only from outside the relationship, and always concentrated on "Billy" and the OP is always cast in the role of rescuer, saving "Billy" from these awful people. Generally people in happy relationships don't update a bunch of strangers about how happy they are.

    Basically it sounds very like "fanfic", where adolescents write fantasies about their favourite fictional characters.

    Nice heartwarming story and the first thing you want to do in this forum is tear it apart with no posting history of your own,
    that makes you the one who is posting suspiciously LLMML in my opinion.

    LLMMML you will sometimes come across threads that you take with a pinch of salt and while your suspicions of this thread are your own opinion I'd steer clear of declaring them to be fakes, you're just going to piss people off and possibly alienate new users from posting for fear of being called liars.

    Frankly whatever you think of this thread is really irrelevant at this point, it's a zombie thread and if you keep poking away at it then it's probably going to be locked.

    If OP still receives e-mail updates from Boards on followed threads then he is probably aware of your comments and has chosen not to address them. He is not an active user anymore and to me it seems unfair to call the story into question when a reply is highly unlikely at this stage. End of.

    Folks - lets not derail the thread completely off topic

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
