Leaving the Board -
Find a Conversation
| Wed, 09-10-2003 - 1:05pm |
This is just my opinion - and my 2 cents worth - but I think most people coming to this board are looking for a hug, an ear and someone to talk openly about their A without judgement. Maybe that happens more than it seems, but in my case.. well...I got lots of "YOU SHOULDs" and not many cyber shoulders to lean on. I know it is hard since this board is so big now, and that mostly everyone just reads the posts and moves on without answering. I am taking such a risk to sneak time on this board - for nothing! So, I am moving on- as they say.
Good Luck to everyone on this board...maybe ya'll will be better at finding that online buddy to share the sad and the happy moments with. I'll have to keep mine to myself now... or share them with the cat.

I'm sorry that you feel this board hasn't helped you find some friendships and non judgements. I know that recently I have only been lurking and really not that often but I have made some wonderful friends on this board that have helped me more than they will ever know. When I first came on board back in March at first I didn't feel comfortable but everyone made me feel welcome and I have received great advice as well as a place to vent. I hope that you might still be lurking and decide to come back when you need us because these EMA's can be very lonely and everyone needs someone to talk to. You can email me thru my profile if you want.

Are you saying you would like to be able to come to the board, just to talk about your EMA and OM? Whether or not it's a problem, you don't want opinions, but rather, a "hugs, been there done that and I know", or, lol, "just wanted to share I had my *wheaties* this morning", lol? If that's the case, perhaps Sweet could organize a new folder, like General Discussions and Off-Topic Conversations, we could have a folder for those who don't require support, but would like to share and simply enjoy talking about their EMA and affair partner.
I've been a member of the board for a year, though not as active lately as I usually am, and have seen many changes and environments. I used to post analytical and just random muses, which was fun and enlightning when a discussion ensued. I've also posted responses, and still do sometimes, at some length, lol, because it helps *me* to respond how I think, and re-inforces my strength and convictions and perception. There were also more polls, and posts that were a bit saucy, too - all fun.
Chloe, instead of leaving, why don't you take it upon yourself, time permitting of course, to start posting fun polls and discussions. And, if you just want to ramble on about your OM or EMA, just include a disclaimer at the bottom that you are not looking for answers (because we all know we will find our own answers anyway) or even an opinion. If I'm on (so busy right now), I'll respond to them!
Hope you stick around - but if not, I wish you the best in life!

When I came here I was 'fresh' as in love with a man who I thought loved me unconditionally as I did, but that was not the case. He did have conditions for his love and some of them I could not accept. He was never truthful to me either. That caused me a lot of pain and I feel betrayed by this repeated inability to keep his word. My privacy was intruded during that time, my sanity was questioned and I felt like a fool. In spite of all that I have kept a sane front, have not killed anybody so far….
I don’t know why I am posting all this to you, but as you see I am trying to get away from all that and heal myself. Coming back here only is going to delay that process and being friends with you only is going to remind of my EMA (if you can call it that) which is not what I really want to do. Thanks for your offer though. Too late....

Look around you. How many married women do you think have to grapple with what we're going through? How many of them live for soap operas or romance novels or listening to gossip about others? How many are TRULY happy? If they suddenly were to look like the women in one of those novels, how many of them do you think could resist a man coming along and sweeping them off their feet? Yes, we all have our varying reasons for doing these things...but I venture to say that a pretty high percentage of women WOULD cheat if the right set of circumstances presented themselves. For most women, those circumstances just never come, thank goodness!
