Is this board enough?
| Thu, 08-21-2003 - 10:06am |
Hey - just throwing this question out there because I am wondering if anyone feels like me... I am going through an extremely difficult time in my A right now and although I've posted about it I feel like I have to pull teeth to get replies! :( And yet I know I'm guilty of coming around ONLY for support and advice and tend to skip other posts. I have NO one to talk to about all this and I feel like I'm going nuts! :p Just wondering if any of you feel like this board could be better!? More involved? More replies or something? I mean seems like I can come at 9am and post and then come back at 3pm and there are maybe 2 replies since I was here!? Is there maybe another A type board around that is more active?
Thanks! and Hugs to all!

i haven't seen much of our cl either. so i'm not sure what to tell you. i only post on this board. i don't have enough time to surf the net and find our chats. and i have told a couple of my closest friends about my A so i have their support when i need it. i know what other posters have said about never telling anyone but i KNOW my girls have my back even if they were being tortured!! just kidding.
hang in there poster. everyone will be around eventually.

Now, it seems that no one can relate to what I'm going through, thus, how could my advise help someone else. It's really hard when you don't have anyone to help you over those rough days. AND!!! it seems like all my days are rough, some are rougher than others. There are so many facets of an EMA, and we all are in different places in our EMA. There have been many times when I swore I would never post again. BUT!! because I had no one else to turn to, I felt that I had to post, only to have 1 or 2 replies, which made me feel worse than I did when I posted.
I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that, this board is not what it used to be.

downhill. But that's because
I haven't been on long enough
to post anything because of
other reasons.
I'm trying to get back into
the swing of things, and I'm
sure a lot of posters have
thrown themselves into lurkdome.
Sometimes I just have nothing to
add that could help anyone!
But posters will come back:) ~passion

I think a lot of the reasons that this board is not what it used to be, is due in part to the reasons the other poster stated, and due in part to a lot of contraversy when some posts are not what we really want to hear. But there are other boards out there, you just have to search for some.
Hope this helps.

Actually, there is another board called All Sides of an Affair on the Redbook site of iVillage. It is supposed to be a board where people of all sides of an affair express an opinion, but...I don't know if I, myself, would actually post there on a regular basis. The hurt that some of these people have experienced make it difficult for them to be objective and sometimes they can lash out, which is understandable. I occasionally will lurk there just to see how some people view these affairs. It does put things in perspective sometimes. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that there are other boards you can post on.

Hope things get better for you.

I think that I have to agree with the other posters that just the nature of what we are talking about makes it difficult to post as often or frequent as we would like. I know that at work it is hard for me (My Affair Support, kinda hard to explain that away!!) and at home...well, same idea :-) I think H might have a question or two for me if he saw this.
I also am new, and sometimes feel that I may not have the greatest advice to give so I refrain from replying. I'm trying to work out issues in my EMA and have to admit that I'm not doing such a great job of it :-( I lurk a little, post here and there but in general just read the excellent advice that has already been posted.
As for vacations, I will be modemless for the next 10 days camping (not sure I can survive, we shall see)!!
Good luck to you...I will keep an eye out for your posts and try to help out if I can. If not, I'll just throw some hugs and support your way :-)
