Oh, there you are Mel. Thought you went to bed.

So what? It doesn't matter to me, but is just so predictable.

But the most important thing for me is your thoughts on Plan A, meeting EN's (especially SF), in the light of STD's. I don't remember you ever stating what you think.

Believer... we don't always agree but on the topic of SF during with a WS we are in complete sync. I think anyone that suggests to a poster OR who uses their own experience when they got LUCKY, that having SF with a WS is anything less than idiotic behavior is doing that poster a huge disservice. If you need to risk you life to win back a WS then frankly, IMO, they aren't worth the risk. Any WS that puts their spouse at risk by knowingly having unprotected sex with more than one party is beyond reprehensible. See, it is one thing to take back a spouse after an infidelity...to let them earn trust and love back... it is another matter all together to play Russian roulette with the lives of those around us.
So, IMHO, any BS that engaged in SF with their WS should either keep their mouth shut about it OR make it a point to let people know about the dangers associated with this act.... since they may be thinking... save the marriage at all costs.
IMO, the Harley's are also making a huge mistake by not suggesting that BS protect themselves.

A sweeping statement MEDC - How do you know they don't recommend that? I am sure I have read they do somewhere here.

Honestly, I don't. I have a private BOARD, but not "private emailings."


Sorry. Yes. Semantics and all that.

It has always reminded me of that movie "The Star Chamber" with Michael Douglas.

I have never denied that I email BigK. So I do have private emails. There. Said it. I'm outted. Love ya BigK.

pio, I wasn't denying that I get off board emails, I DO, but beleiver was asserting there is nefarious private email group that does Lord knows what. The "group" in question, is a BOARD FORUM, not an email group. believer is paranoid about this for some reason. The only off board emails I have received recently were from Mimi, Pepperband and Mortarman.

Yes, it was sweeping BK... if I am wrong I will say so...but I think I have read just about all their info on this site and don't ever remember seeing it. If I am wrong, I will say so.

Hope you are well BK.

Whether it is a board, email group, chat line, forum is not what it is important. But you are too SOOOOOO nefarious! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And I am seeming nefariousish tendencies from BigK too these days. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Apparently it does matter to you, you bring it up often. Why not just explain yourself?

Don't forget Mel, Mrs. W and I have emailed you and your husband in the past as well; however we find it's much easier communicating across the table with you and your husband over say, coffee, eggs and bacon. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Very well thank you for asking MEDC. Hope you are as well.

But be careful, you will get tarred with the "groupthink" brush. Clearly we are all pawns.

MEDC - Thank goodness you are here. Yes, you are right, we seldom agree. But I DO respect you more than most.

I maintain that it is a huge disservice to not mention protecting yourself from STD's when in Plan A. The Harley's DO NOT mention it - ANYWHERE.

I have recovered from my husband's betrayal, but NOT from his cavalier attitude toward putting my life at risk. When I found out the truth, he exclaimed that OW was "not that way".

That was some mighty tasty nefarious plotting! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Mr ML says hey!

BK... group think??? Me.... nah... I am an equal opportunity offender on this board... I have clashed with everyone at one time or another... but I still learn from just about everyone here.

Believer...trust me... we see eye to eye more frequently than you know. There are times when you leave me scratching my head... and other times when you give me food for thought... but I always KNOW your heart is in the right place. I afford that sentiment to others here as well...I have butted heads with BK, MR. W, Mel, Mimi... and just about everyone else... but they are doing what they believe to be right... and I respect them for that... as I do you.

I know MEDC. Neither you nor anyone you named are anyone's puppet. Regardless of what Believer may think.
