This forum is worth it's weight in cyber gold. I have learned so much from so many people, and what they've written.
Nearly every plea for help/advice is heartfelt, as are the replies. There really should be some kind of "MB Poster's Hall of Fame" for some of the veterans who do their very best to help as many as possible. I'm stunned and amazed at how many "old timers" still post to the newbies, when their own efforts at saving their own marriage are still in progress, or have failed.
It's gut wrenching to see the new "ones" appear every day. Since I signed up there have been over 2,000 more "memberships". Behind every new "identity", there is a chronology of shattered dreams, shock, grief, anguish and heartbreak.
Somehow, I think posting here allows one to collect their own thoughts at times with their minds are racing out of control. Emotionally overwrought. And then kind and caring people post responses, based on MB philosophy, personal experiences and good old fashioned common sense.
These veteran posters are the very best of humanity! God Bless every one of them. They have probably saved many lives (and I mean that), as well as marriages. We all know who they are, because they have helped us sustain the rollercoaster ride from hell.
A heartfelt thank-you, to all of you.

"This was originally titled (a tribute to veteran poster's) and every one thought it meant Military Veterans (Memorial Day Weekend), so the first couple of responses were confused, but at my fault."
I just edited the post to try to thank these people for the help they've given me, and so many others.
