Hi

Im new to this board, and have been reading the posts for the last three days. There is an awful lot of people stories that I can relate to, and reading your messages REALLY DOES HELP. The one thing that stands out to me is that the NO CONTACT (NC) is the best thing, everytime I feel like contacting a certain someone I log on and read and read those messages.

I have a question though! and I hope its not a stupid one, I can work out most of the abbreviations, but some of them I have no idea what they mean. Is there a list somewhere? or if someone has the time could they please let me know? thanks

Take care everybody!!

Try

Here are a few there will be more no doubt.

MM = MARRIED MAN

XMM = X MARRIED MAN

CMM = CHEATING MARRIED MAN

OW = OTHER WOMAN

OM = OM

WS = WONDERING OR WAYWORD SPOUSE

BS = BETRAYED SPOUSE

IC = INDIVIDUAL COUNCELING OR SEXUAL INTERCOURSE,(YOU DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE THESE TWO)

Thats all I can think of right now

IC meaning individual counseling really threw me off when I started reading this board. IC NEVER means individual counseling on the My Affair board...at least not that I've noticed. It just bugs me to have the same acronym for two such polar opposites ... lol.

I pulled this one out of the archives to see if I can get an answer to what DH and AP mean.
Thanks!
