just a quick question. Is there anyplace on this site or another to chat with fellow members about our problems and situations. These message forums are great but sometimes i need advice on a question or situation quicker than these forums tend to put out. if anyone knows of a good site or link please let me know. thanks

There is a pretty strick rule of no chat followed by MB members of the opposite sex. So many affairs today start on the internet. For this reason we avoid chat in many cases. If you post here it can be almost like chat since people can respond to each other pretty quickly. But it's done in the open with many people around.
After a while you may strick up a friendship with someone and chat. I've done that from time to time... but always with another woman. For one thing, after my H's affairs, all started on the internet, he and I have a no chat rule too. So I have to always tell him when I am going to chat.
Some members, like me, post their email addresses. The same rules apply.. no intimacy allowed.

I'll have to agree with Zorweb.
Though it does seem tough to wait for a response sometimes, it is prudent not to indulge in IM with fellow MB'ers. When we are all in such a vunerable and sensitive state of emotionality ourselves, the temptation to become unhealthily involved with another "kindred soul" would be too strong for many of us. I myself remember thinking how easily I could've fallen into an affair of my own when the hurt was fresh and I was looking for consolation and yes, even retaliation. A lot of us check these pages quite often so you can usually get a response within the hour, in most cases. Then, do as Zorweb suggested and exchange e-mails with a same sex member for private "postings". Good luck to you!
