Hey, I have been coming to this site off and on for 6 months or more. I am stunned that so many of us can tell strangers more details of our lives than the people in our lives. Has anyone else felt this?? I find this site very helpful when we are lost and confused and seeking....but after a while...I find that those who were lost and seeking are still lost and seeking....anyway just a thought for all those seekers who are looking for another way to talk to similar souls. Peace

The anonymity of these boards creates a safe place for honesty.
And if you don't get the response you want, you have the option of not coming back...perhaps TOO safe. Fortunately, I think most people who stick around learn to "listen" better and spend more time thinking about those responses they didn't want to hear.
One thing people forget or don't realize when they arrive is that one of the main concepts behind MB is radical honesty...which includes telling your spouse about MB and your involvement. RH would also include telling your spouse anything and everything that you tell people here. I can understand that many people first come here to take advantage of the safety of the forum and to start better understanding what is actually happening in their marriages. Hopefully though, they will also learn how to better communicate with their spouse and begin to incorporate RH into their marriage.
When I first started posting here, if there was ever anything that I thought my guy would not enthusiastically agree to me posting, I'd ask him first. He always said yes and after maybe the 4th or 5th time, he told me that he wants me to feel comfortable posting anything that comes to mind even it is embarrassing to him. Now, if I think of something he wouldn't feel comfortable with, I talk to him first and then post.
