After reading some of the responses to some of the posts. I'm almost afraid to post my question.
I have enough anger and resentment from my spouse right now without opening myself up to the attack of strangers.

I agree with you. Its hard to open up with out people coming down on you. I know that not everyone here is like that. There are ones that are willing to give a shoulder to lean on. Then of course you get the ones that feel that it should be there way and no other way. I dont post much either due to the fact that I dont feel that I should be "attacked" here. This is a place that is supposed to be for help. I hope that one day that people can keep in mind that words can hurt.
Have a great weekend!!!! I hope that this is a place that you can come and vent even if you have to post and then delete it all just to help get it all out.

MB is supposed to be a relatively safe environment for the members to post. Anyone feeling attacked should contact the appropriate moderator.
Thanks,

I agree it should be a board for support but there is one person here who shall remain nameless that prompted my post after reading some of their responses I refuse to let myself in for their "hard" tone.
I simply began to pray and pray hard, read the word and meet my husband's emotional needs and worked my tail off to fix the damage I had done.
I sort of began the "compensation" form of apology. No I didn't have an affair, but what I did certainly wounded him.
We have incorporated the policy of "undivided attention" and I personally am applying the policy of "radical honesty".
Those of us who have erred don't need a beating from strangers, we are getting plenty of a beating from ourselves and our spouses.

I would encourage you to hang in there and keep doing what you know is right. For myself, I sometimes post responses with a harsher tone when I've had a bad day (like yesterday). Please forgive us all because we, too, struggle with hurt. I'm better today and I pray that you are too. God bless and check out John 16:33.
