There must be somewhere on this site that lists the abbreviations.
WW: Wayward Wife (Stick an F in front of it for former). WH: Wayward Husband HH: ??? MB: Marriage Builders SAA: Surviving an Affair IMO: In My Opinion - that one is pretty universal, I think.
Anyone have a link for the abbreviations commonly used on this site?
Me: BS/FWW: 48 BS/WH: 50 DS: 30, 27, 25 DD: 28 OC: 10 BH and I are raising my OC together.

I tend to avoid abbreviations for that very reason. Oh, in some cases I will use the more common ones, but when I'm writing to a newcomer I will try to do it the way professional writers do: by reference.
For example, take the following sentence:
"XYZ, as the betrayed spouse (BS), you need to expose the affair (A) to everyone if you want to save your marriage (M), otherwise your wayward spouse (WS) will spin the story ahead of you."
Preach the Gospel every day. When necessary, use words. St. Francis of Assissi
