Now you can moan about your man online.

Women do not necessarily need to have a terrible boyfriend to agree that men have their fair share of irritating moments.

What is important is to get those boyfriend annoyances out of your system before they start affecting a relationship.

A new, women-only social networking site has been launched allowing women the forum to do just that.

YourBoyfriendTheBastard.com is a social networking site offering scorned girlfriends a place to let off some steam and relieve those boyfriend irritations, while remaining totally anonymous so their better, or worse, half does not find out.

The site was set up by a couple of girlfriends who came up with the idea while chatting on the phone, discussing how irritating boyfriends can be.

The girls say, however, that the arena is not a man-hating site but merely a place where women can get things off their chest in an anonymous, man-free environment.

Emily Pheby, a 19-year-old sales assistant from Lincoln, is currently in a long-term relationship but says there are a lot of things that irritate her when it comes to her boyfriend.

“There are differences between me and my boyfriend that are really annoying,” she explained.

“One thing I hate is how he’s a lot smarter than I am and how he corrects my grammar. He asks me questions I won’t know the answer to just to prove it.

“I hate having to make all the effort to see him as well. We have a long-distance relationship at the moment but he expects me to make all the arrangments to see one another.

“The worst thing is when he’s not feeling cuddly when I am – which, unfortunately, is most of the time.

“Thinking about it, why am I with him again? I guess it isn’t really anything a good old-fashioned moan can’t sort out.”

Meanwhile, 26-year-old Kat Turner, of the Bailgate area of Lincoln, has been with her boyfriend since school and says that complaining can be healthy for a relationship.

“If I didn’t have a whine about him every now and again, I don’t think it would have lasted so long,” she said.

“If I moan to my friends instead of directly at him, then it saves on having a pointless argument.

“Even after eight years, there are certain things that still annoy me.

“In the early part of the relationship, there’d be compliments all the time but now they’ve run dry and are just saved for the occasional drunken text.

“If I could change anything, it would be nice for him to treat the relationship how he did in the beginning. But I guess no-one is perfect and I’m sure he has some complaints about me.”
