Thought I'd take roll to see who's who. Started coming here a year ago and just started visiting. Good to see there's a few of us old timer's hanging around. Maybe we can give a little background on our ema's. Here's mine:

MW w/ MM, now going on 1-1/2 yr, 2 yrs, depending on when you count it started.

We're FWBs, more friends than anything.

Aims here...been sticking pretty much in the background for the last several months..an "oldtimer" some would say. Things are still going wonderful and keep getting better.

Nice to see you again, Luvin

Hey Aims,

Are you on the other private board as well? Good to see you again. Nice to see a familiar 'face'. Things still going strong for you? My MM is finally "growing up". He's younger and I can see that he is handling things better.

See you again soon.

Hugs

Hi everyone!!!!

I usually read the post when I can and answer everynow and again, and all of you at one time or another has helped me on the famous rollercoaster ride.

I'm SW with MM and it will be 3 years in December, he is my best friend and lover and I also can't image him not in my life.

Everyone have a great day!!!!!Blackhat

Hi-I am new here today. MW/MM for about a year. We work together. Rarely see each other outside work unless there is a work related conference etc. W has him on a very short leash. We end up sneaking around at work finding empty rooms etc. Gets frustrating at times. I'm OK with our limitations most of the time. We started out just having "fun" but deeper feelings have developed(on both sides). I really don't know what will happen next. We both have small children and neither of us wants to leave our marriages. Just taking one day at a time......

Hi all....

I've been posting since last month and have answered a few by now also...

I am a separatedW who was a MW with the MM..... have been involved this time

around with MM for 5years... we have been on again and off again for many years

like 15 now.... I left H #1 for him but things got of course for us... not sure

what will happen, am dating as there are now more and

more NC times b/c he is ambivalent. This board has been a great find for me and I'm thankful to all of you for your input and advice.... being in an A can be a lonely place when there's no one to talk to about it. He is my love but he is hurting me and I can't keep letting him.

Hello,

Found the board early this summer, and pop in and read often to see how all are doing, gathering strength for the next loop, or to scream from the roof top like lately, LOL! I'm a MW with MM for about a year now. Gosh, has gone by fast!

take care,

Mitzy

I would like to add what an interesting post. I am a mw/w/mm. Have been in relationship for just about 2 years (i think), lost count also. Been so good. I don't understand what FWB's means. But we are really good friends as well as lovers. Tell each other everything. Hope and plan to be with him for a while yet but still don't understand why I am doing this (in this relationship) some days I ask myself if I am crazy. I don't get to see him as often as I want, don't get to talk to him as long as I want, and I miss him terribly. But I enjoy the time I do have. Sitting off and talking to him, resting in his arms, and just enjoying his company. Some days we just stare at each other. Didn't plan either for it to happen, but after a short time, feelings started to develop and now I would not trade him in.

Hi Messedupconfused,

Aren't we all. Welcome. FWB means friends w/ benefits, and FWOB means w/o benefits. There are other abbreviations that I'll post later.

Welcome.
