P.S. A good sugar/cinnamon ratio for cinnamon toast is to mix together 4 TBL sugar and 1 TBL cinnamon. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

FINALLY someone comes up with a recope for CinnamonSugar toast. Thanks.

What are you shocked about?


I did not know that Spec was a "predatory OW"-and the post was a bit..... tart.

FYI: MB periodically has visitors from the TOW boards and visa versa. It's a right t/d so. Whether it is right t/d so is a whole 'nuther subject but safe to say, there have been 'visitors' from other parts.

What do those 'visitors' bring? Their POV, of course. Yea, it's there right an all but the pain it gives here is unnecessary. Yet some from TOW who share their persepctive in a civil manner give and receive insight. The other TOW visitors just come to stir up trouble and try to justify their A. Often it is their current A.

Talk about 'educating'..... u ever want to see a group that thinks they 'know it all'....visit their site. Not only do they feel it is their right to break up a family but some feel it is their 'duty' t/d so.

When a TOW does post it is usually recognized. Depending on the attitude, it is generally exposed.

A lot goes on here CS..... more than you have probably read. Which c/b an influence of sorts on how some post. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

See this is a learning place....but I'm not a teacher.....just a poster.

Have a nice day! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

My question really wasn't surrounding what should JJ or someone in her sich do to fix her current marriage... it was what should she do now, as a continuing WS, to make her A right?

Big Kahuna even started his own thread about this.
Here is HIS quote, first post of his thread:

"I don't believe that God sanctions an affair marriage. I do not believe he considers it to be a marriage. If an adulteror in an affair repents, that would necessarily mean divorcing IMO. Otherwise where is the turning from sin?"

I also said this....

I guess I would also like to say that I find this discussion very interesting and I am not closed minded about it and am very interested in CHRISTIAN views.

Was that not sensational enough to include in your quote?

Im not going to let Scott come back here and take a beating for calling me, hes defended me ever since he came here.
I ll be with him this week and get him into counseling .Im going to try and help him pick up the pieces and get himself together . it will be a while before there is an 'us' if there is an 'us'.


I have never posted on tow board since I dont agree with them but we do believe mb concepts can help
us like they help all the others.

U & scott r...... OP/WS, BS? Please clarify. Getting him to counseling? For what????? Is the 'counselor' going to really get the real pix if you take him to counseling?

Pickup the pieces and get himself together because........

What kind of 'us' r u taling about? Is he an 'us' with someone else? U ok with having a split 'us'.

What do you think MB is suppose to help? Your version of 'us' or the one he is current an 'us' in?

Very confusing. Can't help if you stay soo confused.

Allow me to see if I can read between the lines here:

Just some guesses:

1. MB is a threat to Spetacles relationship with Scott (I think he's Onlyhuman, herein)...If Spectacles can instigate attacks against her and/or Scott here...just maybe Scott won't come back and get some sense knocked into his head.

2. Maybe Spectacles is hoping Scott's wife, that according to Spec is having or had a revenge affair and is filing for divorce, will read her and not reconsider. It's a message to Scott's wife saying he called me and I am comforting him now so back off.

3.[edited to add] - Create victimhood (damsel in distress) for herself from which perhaps only Scott can extricate her from...poor Spectacle getting ripped on...he can be her knight coming to her emotional rescue and save her from the harsh judgments of the MB board (afterall he made her an adulterer cause he was the married one, she wasn't, she's really innocent in this matter)

4. Some other ridiculous OW plot.

I'm not buying ANYTHING she says. There is no point to it at all. She's not trying to convince us of anything so there IS a hidden agenda here.

You are not well Spectacles and it would behoove Scott to stay a million miles away from you before you further destroy his life. Consequences are a biatch.

How much more of yourself are you willing to allow this person to destroy????

You go right ahead and do whatever, Spec. Just know one day, much like JJ, you'll end up needing help because you MADE THE CHOICE (if you do) to be involved with a repeat cheater.

I also find it quite interesting you say "you're not going to let Scott come back here". Sounds like someone who owns a dog.

Be sure and say "hola" to that boyfriend you're living with whilst you participate in a adulteress affair with Scott (MM).

Wow, what power you command over another person's husband. Do you do that with other people's things, property, $$, pets, friends as well?

....and I thought a usual WS bi-line is that they 'don't want t/b controlled'. Is that correct or just babble?!?!?!?

Why does Scott need to defend you? What have you NOT done so that you need t/b defended?

Inquiring minds want to know. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Double F your YI: Just because I did not know the poster's origins / life story does not mean that you license to attempt to "teach" me.

What it does mean is this: Unlike some of the folks here, I actually have a life off MB and I don't know nor do I care to know the personal history of each and every poster up in here.

Some of you mofos need to work on actually building your marriages instead of spending e'ry waking moment in Marriage Builders waxing on about how much you know and how suspicious and / or undeserving of sympathy other people are or are not while simultaneously throwing red herrings and insults left and right when confronted with dissenting opinions.

Have a terrific evening!

U catch on real slow CS. How sad. I thought you were smarter than that. U r the one who put that shock icon on. I was simply letting you know that sometimes there are OWs who post here not as Xows but as current OWs who feel they need to come here for whatever reason to share their info.

That's all.

As for us posting here.....u recall we ALL have that right. We post here either to get support or help give support. What's wrong with that?

Seems I rile you up with my posts..... certainly not meant t/d that. I also don't think I am the only one whose posts rile u up. Check out your mirror and ask yourself why does that happen?

I am NOT here to 'teach' u anything. Not worth it for me. Just shared some info but if that's too much for u to handle then..... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

CS--for someone who has a life outside of MB, you sure do post a lot. Why aren't you working on your relationship, instead of posting 223 times in one month?

PS What does Double F your YI mean? Some kinda play on FYI, I suppose, but hmmmm.

I was a good girlie and didn't.

Don't want to be accused of "attacking" or "cyber-bulling / cyber-stalking".

Plus, she's old news with nothing of interest or new to offer.
