I've returned to the MB boards in an attempt to figure out my post-divorce life. But I'm completely out of touch with the abbreviations! WS, BS, INTP... ACK! What's it all mean?<p>Any light you can shed would be greatly appreciated.<p>Thanks!

WS=wayward spouse
BS=betrayed spouse<p>INTP is a personality type designation. See www.keirsey.com for more info on that. Pretty interesting and helpful stuff.<p>Some others:
OM=other man
OW=other woman
MM=married man
MW=married woman
EN=Emotional Need
LB=Love Buster
POJA=policy of joint agreement<p>There are also some abbreviations for a few of the ENs, like:<p>SF=sexual fulfillment
FS=financial support
RC=recreational companionship<p>And the LBs too:<p>DJ=disrespectful judgement<p>
That should help you hit the ground running. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] If you run into something you don't understand, just ask. <p>Good luck figuring out your post-divorce life. I'm still working on that myself. It's getting a lot better, thankfully. <p>o2bsane

Thanks for the primer! Now, what about one contained in your signature block: "MLC"? "Multi-lingual cheat"? "Masochistic legal conduct"? "Mid-life crisis"? Oh, must be that one. Silly me. [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img] <p>See, I'm getting there already!

"Major-league catcher"?<p>"My loud children"?<p>"Musta lost contact"?<p>"Mom's loud corvette"?<p>"Might like coleslaw"?<p>Ok, ok, I'll quit now. You already guessed the right one. "Mid-life crisis" it is. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] You catch on quick!<p>[ February 22, 2002: Message edited by: o2bsane ]</p>

Thank you, NSR, for the link to the SAS list. While I do appreciate the functionality and simplicity of your approach, I must also confess that I was having a bit of fun with the trail-and-error approach offered by o2b.<p>Either way, my heartfelt thanks to both of you. I can now post in relative wisdom and "with-it-ness." [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]
