Hi, what a great idea, I always wondered about some of those names! <P>My original posts and name was lonelymom. That was how I felt the day my ex left on xmas. I don't remember how long I used it for, but sometime last year, I realized, I wasn't lonely and switched my name . Decided to use my real name Dana, because I had been signing it on all my other threads for so long anyhow. <P>THere are still some people who don't realize that those names were the same person!<P>I'd love to change it again, to something meaningful, but then I lose my stats again!<P>Hugs, Dana<BR>

My first initial, repeated. <P>I, too, was in much pain when I found this site. By the time I was ready to post for the first time I was exhausted from all the reading I was doing here and my thoughts about how to apply the concepts to my failing marriage. The few names I thought would best represent me were already registered, and I did not have the stamina to continue to look for creative alternatives.<P>Peace, LLL

My Bible fell open to this passage and I started reading and relating to it just before registering on this website.

Well...<P> The Mynah bird can be taught to speak. Once it learns a few words...those few words seem to be all it says. Sounds a little like it could be auditory torture, huh? <P> I'm a bit like that. Really have to work at shutting up and letting others have their say. So, I chose the name to remind myself to *listen*... then I'll go ahead and yammer like there's no tomorrow, lol.

When I first started coming to MB I had just found out about H affair. I just kept saying to myself, " Am I crazy or what for even attempting to keep this marriage together" That is how I got my name. I plan on changing it soon to Jillybean.<P>Jill

I had been told time after time that I had the "patience of a saint". Actually, "glutton for punishment" would've been closer to the mark.

I registered after I had read, what felt like, all the pages possibly incorporated in this web-site. I had realized all the Love Buster's that I had been committing and decided that day that there had to be a "NewMe". <BR>Everytime I log in, it reminds me of my task at hand... self-improvemnt to the end!!!!!<P><BR>CJ - You go girl........ When we are married, we can look at the menu, we just can't order.......... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<p>[This message has been edited by TheNewMe (edited December 29, 2000).]

Keridwen is a play on my name and also the name of a Celtic Goddess. My name is Keri and the Goddess of life, death and rebirth is Cerridwen. So I just combined the two. I feel like my old life is dead and my new life is in the process of being reborn. So I thought the name was quite appropriate. Actually I use it for all the sites I register with. I just add a "7" if Keridwen is already taken.<P>------------------<BR>Blessed be.<BR>****************<BR>Keridwen<P>Keridwen_7@yahoo.com

Soon2b_alone...kind of self-explanatory...planning on changing it to "YepI'm_alone" once things are final. Wish I could be as profound as sisyphus...is there a Greek character who continually thumped her head against an immoveable brick wall? [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Lisa

out of the fog ---<P>For most of our marriage I had been Depressed.....and that's what my stbx is blaming for the breakup. <P>I had just started a new medication which has finally cleared the 'fog' of depression when I discovered this website and forum. Little did I know that I'd have at least one layer of fog still to go through. But just getting out of the depression was incredible for me. It's made a tremendous difference. <P>Too bad the H never bothered to take the time to realize what he's leaving behind. I still love him, but I don't love his friends and I don't love the way he treats me.<P>~Amy
