Has anyone tried to get their WS on MB? I have asked but she says she has her own support system and she wants to work this out her way. What have others done to get them on?

Yes -- my FWW, Cruisegonebad, now posts here on occasion. More importantly, she lurks here more frequently.
Cruise was very reluctant to get on the boards even with much urging on my part. I think what it took was her first post. When she realized folks would not jump all over her, ashe felt more comfortable. She still took a long time to get more comfortable, though. Anyway, let her do it at her own pace. Perhaps you will find that a discussion the two of you are having matches up to a post you've read. You could say, "you know, I was just reading of something similar on MB, let me print that post later and see if you think any of the discussion is useful." Good luck.

Raro, does she lurk? I am a fws (dday 7/13/05) and though I don't post often, I've learned an increadible amount through reading other's posts. I often find myself returning here when I need strength... i.e. am sad about how recovery is going, or feel that I "miss" om (a bit of lingering fog... nc is still going strong). Sometimes I wish there was just a section in the index for ws's... but it is ok there isn't. Good luck.

Raro,
I am a FWW, and my H sent me an email about something unrelated to MB's, but then, almost as an afterthought, he included a link to a post from here that he thought I might find interesting. I read the post, and kept reading others and then I was just compelled to post...go figure. My h didn't begin to post until sometime later, and now we post together under this name...you just never know... Please tell your W that we would welcome her here with open arms...
Blessings,
Mrs. Wondering

Hi change,
I am the FWW too - and had my own support system - but this site was so valuable to my support as well.
You can find my story and my recovery guide in the links in my signature - perhaps you can send the links to her?
it's a long hard road, and it's nice to have other FWW's who actually understand what you are going through - your support system supports - but if they haven't ever been a FWW - they never truly understand what you are feeling and the changes you are making.

Wow Dorry, your story is a true test of love and courage..
It was hard to read into some of the details...made me wonder what my WW is doing.
I am glad you and your H were able to make it through such rough times. It gives me some hope.
