BS = Betrayed Spouse
WS = Wayward Spouse (the one who did the cheating)

You might see at times an F in front of that and that means Former.

Thank you.

I've seen other accronyms and just don't know what they are...

I'll try harder to figure them out before I post again, but I just saw one... WW? Wayward Wife?

I was going to add a P.S. and I got 'unlogged in' grrrrrrrrr.

This 'General Questions II' is a GREAT place to post...it is a very active forum, probably the busiest, so you will get LOTS of help and responces from some wonderful encouraging people.

But not much on week-ends; it is verrrrry slow, not many friends posting.

I noticed that you have written more messages than me! You say you have only been here one week?

This place IS very therapeutic and you will get lots and lots of good advice.

Sincerely, Rachel <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I went back and read your story in emotional needs.

I am going to post the address to click on so others can easily read what is going on with you and your wife.

I think you two are VERY MUCH IN LOVE.
It just takes awhile to get used to being married and no longer single!

Hang in there, bud, and don't give up without
giving it all that is in you!
Sincerely, Rachel (Gotta sign out now)
