May I join the Monday Night Rant Club?

Why would a poster go to all the trouble to set up an account here in order to post about their situation, and then not tell us everything we need to know in order to help them? What the heck's the point??

Why would a BH drop in occasionally over a period of MONTHS, talking about everything regarding their marriage EXCEPT the fact that they discovered that their spouse was having an affair?? faint

Funny thing is, I had to actually THINK about it. I have the whole week off of work(unfortunately), and I can't remember what day of the week it is. Since I box on Mon, Tues, Wed, and Fri, I felt too sore for it to be only MONDAY. That's why I was worried. At least it doesn't only happen to ME. wink

And those that have encouraged contact are further confusing a BS when entering Plan B can be difficult enough. Most of us entering Plan B still have quite a lot of fog left ourselves.

I am so grateful I did not have anyone suggesting contact in the early days of Plan B. No way would this have done me any favours. I do remember reading other's threads that were having some contact and being confused and questioning if I should do this too. Luckily I had some self-awareness and commitment to the plans. And some task-masters on my case! flirt

I agree Scotty. You're either all in or out in Plan B. I used to think you could peek out of Plan B to take the temperature of the WS or that it was okay to break contact in an extreme emergency. It's not. Not because of how it effects the WS but because of how it effects the Plan B'er. Plan B should be thought of as "Pitch Black" with no shades of gray allowed. There is a purpose to Plan B and it cannot and should not be altered EVER.

You all are just so darned mean to those poor waywards. After all, they were just sitting there, minding their own business and doing good works, when THE DEVIL swooped in and dragged them into their AP's clutches! I mean, really now...

*sigh*

Now I feel guilty for referring to a wayward as a dumba*s on a recent post. I didn't know they couldn't help it!!

Rant: When you suspect a BS's thread has been hijacked by his wayward but don't know for sure.

You mean the one where he said she figured it out? I believe that post was made by Mr. A.
