Seems some of these posts are phony. Too long (analogous to a liar trying to hard too convince), same syntax and semantics. I find these boards to be fairly entertaining, but it becomes dull when one poster basically plasters the boards with inane, lengthy contrived rants & ramblings. I'm not interested in the reading drivel of an online attention monger who has very little on the ball/too much time on her hands. Sigh. What a waste.

Well then, if you see that the post is longer than several sentences, DON'T READ IT! These women are looking for support and not having anyone else to turn to, based on the subject matter at hand, they pour it out here. They are hurting and confused and this is a SUPPORT board; an observation that you have obviously FAILED to note.

um...ok...well...I guess everyone is entitled to his or her opinion...

That being said, I feel that everyone is here for a reason - he or she needs support during the ending of an A, which for many is a difficult time. Writing a post, responding, or reading other people's posts may be therapeutic and helpful to those who come here looking for support. I know for me, writing posts lets me vent my feelings, sort of like keeping a journal. Responses to these posts are just an added bonus - I get input and support by people who have either been where I am, or are in the same place I am. I have found this board to be crucial in helping me decide to finally end my A.

VP, I am not sure who specifically you are referring to, but I am sure it was someone in particular or else you wouldn't have bothered posting. If you have issues or concerns with the content of certain posts, or the "phoniness" of certain posters, I would suggest contacting the CL's rather than come on here and ruin the otherwise supportive and caring atmosphere in this community with vague, accusatory poison pen letters such as this.

Just my 2 cents.

VP, I'll be happy to address your concerns. Why not send me an email?


In the meantime, I remind you that no one is forcing you to read any post in its entirety. If you find yourself disappointed with

Actually, there are definitely a few "trolls" who show up and try to be funny... And I think the originator of this thread is one of them. (Remember the "This is Juicy" thread that seems to have been deleted?) Sometimes the troll is also an angry betrayed spouse who wants to be mean; there has DEFINITELY been one of those here in the past couple of days.
