Maybe I am more sensitive to this, (sort of like just buying a brand X car and suddenly seeing them all over the road)....but on this forum are there more posts from husbands who's wives had A's then the other way around..?
Not that it matters or anything, but it sure seems like I see a majority of posts from men about their WW, or FWW, etc.
I'm just say'n

Also, I have noticed, or it seems that a large number of them start as online EAs.

Codtej,
I think men have more of a problem processing the affair, and take longer to get over them on average. Often too men have no outlet, you can't talk with your friends about being betrayed, so an anonymous forum is great. There is a much greater stigma attached to being a BH than a BW.

Ahh, so I am not alone in this thought...whew, I thought I was being paranoid. Great minds think alike 'TTF'..!
'NJ', I do agree with your post, there is a much great stigma for men and we certainly can't talk to our friends. I was able to talk to my moms and one of my sisters, openly and honestly. They helped me a lot.
