I’m just curious. Any estimates? 100? 200? More?<P>Do you think more are lurking or more are posting?<P>OOOO<BR>

OOOO - Well, I'm here just about every weekday - maybe just a little on weekends. I'd bet there are lots more lurkers than posters. I think some MB Official can tell you how many registered or active posters there are. Next question is, who's spying on their spouse's posts?<P>WAT

I was absent for about a year and now am here every lunch period at work only. I wish I had the guts to ask my husband to read some of this. I think it would help.

Kind of like the question-How many jelly beans are in the jar, I think.....I am here everyday-I'm an addict<P>Yes folks, I am addicted to MB!!!!<P>I try to post and help other people out on a daily basis because I know people here do the same for me...

I am and have been for almost 2.5 years. Rarely post anymore but always lurking.....geez makes me seem like some kinda prevert......lol.

I post sometimes but I like to read what is going on with other people because I went through complete hell a few years back. My husband and I did get back together and has been going good ever since (we have our ups and downs but that's to be expected). But I like to read to see if when you work it all out and your relationship is going good is everything going to stay worked out or is it to good to be true. It seems to me that the M seem to realize that the grass isn't greener on the other side and finaly comes back out of lala land and realizes "hey, what in the hell was I doing. I have a wife and a child to take care of and I am sitting here playing around ignoring the fact that I am hurting the two most important people in my life" and wants to work things out and not go back to ow ever again. But some can't decide what they want. And find it hard to give up OW. They would rather have the OW then there wife that they stood in front of God and vowed to be with till death do they part. What happened with that??? Does that not mean anything anymore?? I guess my husband realized that he was giving up his only child and wife for a piece of trash and that she wasn't worth losing his family over. TG I love him dearly and I hope that he doesn't "switch" into wondering mode ever again and want to try something new because this time he will be slapped with divorce papers and there wont be another chance. Been through it once and am not going through it again.

I'm here every weekday lurking, and occassionally on the weekends. Don't post as much as I used to cause nothing seems to change.....

I lurk here 3 or 4 times times a day for about an hour at a time.... im addicted to MB....lol<BR>i dont usually post unless i feel that whatever it is i have to say hold substance. i tend to babble alot so i refrain from doing that on other peoples posts <BR>luv ya all<P>------------------<BR>"The human Heart is often the victim of the sensations of the moment; Success intoxicates it to presumption and disappointment defects and terrifies it."<BR>~~Valney~~

Yeah, I'm here every day, sometimes several times a day. It's the only way I'm getting through this ordeal. It's nice to be able to help someone else, but scary to become even a littel bit expert on something so painful.

I feel like this is a "roll call" at an alcoholic anonymous meeting or something.<P>My name is SKM. I've been posting for 11 months 2 days, 10 hours. I visit most everyday. Lurking is a given, posting - well, I just can't keep my MOUSE shut!! I like long walks on the beach, traveling, being with friends, and clearing fog.

I lurk at least a few times a week. Sometimes I get on kicks where I come here and read for long periods of time -- it's very therapeutic. And, sometimes I find that people are posting about things that I've been through, so I might reply to their posts to try to help. I feel this need to check-up on people and see how things are progressing for them.<P>Jill

Hi, my name is Leilana and I am an MB addict, too.<P>But it's feast or famine for me...or should I say binge and purge?<P>If things go nuts at work, like they frequently do, I'm working 12-16 hour days and can't get my "fix".<P>If I have houseguests--sometimes up to 4 weeks, forget it. <P>On my off/sick/vacation days I can spend all day here. This is "me" time. Right now I have whooping cough and conjunctivitis--and I couldn't be happier! <P>So now I KNOW I need help! <P> <P>L<BR> <P>

I'm here about twice a day!

I'm here several times a day in the last week or so. I'm recently in withdrawal, so I often need to come here for a shot of perspective. I don't know what might have become of me if not for the wisdom I have read and the support I have received here. Thanks everyone.

Yes, I am a MB addict also!

I'm here two to three times a day, usually for short periods. I spend longer here on my down days. It helps to read what others have posted. I both lurk and post. I've been coming here everyday since late November, so I guess I'm an addict too.

I am for the most part a lurker now.... been here since '96

I usually come here every week day just to check on new threads. I post in spurts....sometimes it's alot and sometimes I don't at all. <P>Addicted? Well....not so much that....but I do feel compelled to visit here...it's more of a habit than an addiction, as I don't have any withdrawal symptoms on the weekends! :-)<P>Aloha,<BR>Mrs.O<BR>

I visit every day. Sorry to say visit more than once a day, but I wouldn't be sane if it wasn't for MB

I'm here pretty much every day now. Don't post as much as I used to. Not really in the building mode anymore.

HI there,<P> I think I'm addicted too!!....I'm here every day and I have to say it has saved my santity. Been here 2yrs....yikes, has it really been 2yrs? ...LU

I'm coming out of lurkdom to answer your question. <BR>I am here 1 or 2 times a day. I very rarely post. <P>I'm an INTJ with an emphasis on "I".

Here's a rare post from me.....HI YA'LL

count me amonst the addicted.<P>I am here most AM before I go to work then again in the evening.<P>I'm planing a 10 day trip and wonder how I will survrive without MB.<BR> <BR>Lora

What the heck!! <P>I'm over at the D/D board on an extremely regular basis. But I always check in here to see what's going on. <P>Yes, I'm an addict. And have been since December 26, 1999! LOL LOL <P>Mitzi

Been here since March 1999. I lurk almost everyday...occasionally reply...rarely post.

When I first came to MB it was at very bad time in my life and I posted very often, After a year I find myself only needing to stop by MP one or twice a week to check on how everyone is doing and to help the newbies. I thank everyone who is and has been here because we are all part of the healing that is to be found here. <P>Faye

I am for sure usually here at least once a day. I resolved a few times to stay away, but haven't accomplished many days of that. Except of course vacation time when I can't get on the computer.<P>I reply to posts here and there as they jump out at me, and they are usually too long. Just have a lot to say when it comes to me. LOL Usually I just try to lurk...just not successful all the time. <P>I don't start very many threads anymore. My goal at this time is to try and encourage and give back, since I got so much from this site.<P>I have been coming here a little over two years, and will be a card carrying member two years on May 5, 2001. <P>I have a feeling for me to ever totally withdraw myself from this site, I will have to attend a MB anonymous group. Anyone starting one? Not that I am ready for that at this point, just checking for future reference. <P>Love you all, and praying for total success for all. Even if the WS stays in the fog and you have no choice but to move on in your lives...I know you'll be successful as the wonderful giving people you all are.<P>Hugs,<P>------------------<BR><B>God bless you and all of us. We are all going to make it, all of us! With God on our side we can't lose! What God has joined together let no man put asunder. <P>Samantha</B><p>[This message has been edited by A blessed Samantha (edited March 16, 2001).]

I'm pretty new here - have been lurking approx 6 weeks. Oh how I wish I had a computer 18 months ago (D/day) - this place is a god send for us betrayed. I have at least learnt that I'm not the only one on this awful rollercoaster suffering more than I could believe ever possible. I thought I was going totally crazy and would end up in a loony bin but you MB guys/gals have made me see that I'm quite 'normal'and thinking normal irrational things in this situation. Thank you all and God bless.

I found this site about 2 weeks ago. Dday was 6 1/2 months ago. I wish also,that I had found this sooner. I too felt as though I were the only one with these thoughts and feelings and you guys have helped me so much.<BR>Clarity?, My H read your "Baby Lift my fog" thread and has now felt compelled to post himself. You HELPED him, and me, Thank You. I think he finally realized that his fog lasted longer than he thought. And that it's normal, for how we went through this. Just Thanks to you all

Every single day, more than once a day. Yep, I'm addicted, but I can either be addicted to MB, or be a basket case w/out it.<P>And to all of you old timers who still come around to help us, thank you. . here's to hoping I'm one of you someday!<P>Don't think I'll ever stop comming here now that I found it, no matter what happens!

Once a week to couple times a day depending on the day, workload and insomnia.

I found this place a year ago (Thank God). I was on here all day every day for a while. Now I just show up each a.m. for a few minutes. I miss most weekends.<P>cleo

Group,<P>I'm here several times a week...sometimes several times a day. I have posted a little bit. It IS helpful to read what's happening with others.<P>John<P><BR>

Hi Folks<P>Been coming here from February this year. Not a long time, I guess, but I feel I've made friends here - friends to keep - until the computer goes out of business!!<P>I've found great help here during a short bout of suspicion about a possible OW, but now my H and I are fine and closer than ever. <P>Even if we never go through something like that again, I will always keep visiting to see how others are doing and comfort & maybe offer advice.<P>Keep this site alive and well!<P>GOD BLESS!!!<P>------------------<BR>CPL

Wounded,<P>Thanks for telling me I helped you and your husband. It's nice to feel a little bit like a useful person again. I'm still ticking off hours on my withdrawal chart. We're getting there. Best of luck to you both.

Everyday since 6 Nov 1999<P>Bill<P>------------------<BR><P>May the roads rise to meet you,<BR>May the winds always be at your back,<BR>May the sun shine warm upon your face,<BR>The rains fall soft upon your fields,<BR>And until we meet again,<BR>May god hold you<BR>In the hollow of his hand.

OK OK...<P>my name is Mercy and I am an MB addict!!! LOLOL<P>sorry.... not funny bu ti am here still and post occassionally.<P>I lurk and post, lurk mostly<P> hehehee<BR>mercy

Hi, I lurk a lot. Must be insomnia <BR>

I'm here 1 to 2 times a day and 4 or 5 times over the weekend. Haven't posted much in recent months as I've met someone new. STBXW still in thick pea soup fog and is also in same over our daughter's emotional state. She extends denial when it pertains to our daughter as well.<P>Anyway, I come to see mostly when those in trouble with their marriage finally find out about OP (LOL).<P>Rick37: haven't seen ya much buddy, sounds like you got a selfish one there too.<p>[This message has been edited by catamount82 (edited March 18, 2001).]
