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!

2) I really hope and pray that things will be different once he gets his D. We have talked about our relationship, I've stated my issues, and he has stated his. BUT!!! in order for us to work on them as a couple, he must be D.
I've been in the EMA ON & OFF for 15 years. It seems that so many of the issues that I post about you ladies haven't gotten there yet. If I went into all of the issues I have, you would be reading all day and part of tonight.
Once he is D, and we are "dating" as a normal couple, I will be able to tell if this is really what I want. Hope this answers your question. NO, I don't mind. If there is anything else you want to ask, feel free.

I'm sorry you feel you aren't getting the best from the board... although a little slow of late I think that there have been a few ladies to help bring the board back a little to the way it used to be.
There have been a lot of problems with trolls... which did cause a very big rift some time back and also the change to the IV boards in general... a lot of people found the change harder to deal with and just gave up.
As for myself... I am in and out every day... but I too have a life and while I dedicate a lot of time to this board... I think I deserve to be able to live my life too. I have two small children to look after and I do not get online much in the evenings as I do not want my DH suspicious... this caused many problems for me a couple of years back and I don't want to go there again... so I hope that you are all understanding. Another problem for me... if you don't know... I am in Australia... therefore about 14 hours ahead of most of you... which will put a lot of my posts mid to late evening... depending on when I find to time to hop on board.
I used to welcome each and every person... unfortunately... I loose a lot of time in my day when I do this and it's difficult... and also each and every one of us has different circumstances... I sometimes find some of your situations hard to relate to... so I tend to leave that to the people with better advice.
It's all up to us really... and what we make of the board... for me it's been a real lifesaver and has helped me move forward... and I'm sure for many others too.
I've no problem should anyone want to email me direct... sweetc_@hotmail.com (careful of the underscore) or you can always contact me through my profile. I won't always reply straight away due to my time difference... but I will always reply... and while I maybe won't be able to offer any advice... but I'll always lend an ear.
luv and hugs

I'm sorry that you aren't getting what you need from the board right now. I used to be a constant (lol) poster here on the board - and I received support in responding to others, being able to write out loud what I thought helped me keep a persepective! I'm in a different place mentally now, and don't seem to need *as much* support as I did, and too I am very busy now (changed jobs and can't post at work -boo hoo- and moving and etc.). I do still enjoy the board, since I don't talk about my A with anyone outside of cyberspace.
People come and go on the board - unfortunately I don't *know* many on here now since I post infrequently, and I miss the comraderie I found with the regulars who posted when I did. But, I do feel the board still serves a great service - for those that need to get it all out, and for those who need to just talk about their A, and for those that like to offer insight. In my time on the board (since last September I think), I've found the board goes through cycles, just like anything else...sometimes its busy, sometimes not.
Poster, if you find you aren't receiving enough replies, just "bump" your post up, or repost. Now, I'm off to find your post!
Have a good day,

if you come across someone like that, hit the "ignore" button and you will not even see their posts. if you don't ignore them, do not answer or post to their tirades, because replies keep the thread alive for them to keep up their aggressive tactics.
hope this helps,

i'd like to know more.

Keep posting and don't give up on us!
Many hugs!
