My sympathies for your brothers death.

Reading that just struck a nerve with me.

Our XOW after being involved with Doc took up with a MM who was in the process of dumping his family to move to be with her not knowing she was married. Guess he lived far enough away that she didnt think he'd really leave his family. He ended up killing himself a few months ago..
But this woman's, who has seemingly moved from one man to another faster than I don't know what, past has finally caught up with her and I for one will have a front row seat at her court hearing that will ultimely result in a jail sentence for her... and I will smirk for all the times she's smirked at me...

Dear Enlightened.......

I also send my sincerest condolences to you and your family in the death of your brother. I can't imagine how hideous something like that must be to live with and am so grateful my husband was spared. I will pray for you and your family. I am so sorry.

Also, I would just like to say that I appreciate your attempt to try to protect and inform us by pointing out certain revelations and possiblities we might have been unaware of. Forewarned is forearmed. I did not take it as inciting a riot or that you have a hidden agenda as you have been very open about your concerns.

K is a man and although very pragmatic, wise and focused on MB, tends to dislike discord and conflict as most men do. I recently was spanked, too. Try not to take his remarks too personally if you can. If you stick around, you will come to appreciate his presence, wisdom and sound advice.

Women dislike disharmony and conflict too however, there are times when we actually thrive on it as well. We get sucked into it a lot more than men do. I've noticed that the men here are much more in control of their emotions than the women are, which is what makes us so dang special.

I am glad you are here, Enlightened, and if this forum helps you understand and find answers, helps you in your marriage and if you have insight to offer others facing horrible tragedies, then you have come to the right place.

I've been away...what did XOW do to inspire the impending reservation for her in the pokey?

Sometimes life just offers up some wonderful justice...and you get to witness it. Smirk. ;>

Dear enlightenment,

I am also sorry to hear about your brother. What a terrible thing to happen.

Like Catnip said, K seems not to like discord on the board. However, I believe that your comments were very timely.

CMiranda has driven a lot of people from this board under the guise that she has a right to be here because she is working on her marriage. If, as we all suspect, she has NOT come clean with her husband, then she is not using the MB principles.

I think K's anger should be directed at her for deceiving everyone here and driving away so many people who are truly trying to save their marriages using the principles. As far as I can tell you did nothing wrong by alerting some who may thought she was a serious poster so that they could decide, in future, if they wish to deal with her posts or ignore them.

As far as TOW, like others said, there is nothing wrong with posting on both boards. It is strange however that some people have radically different points of view when they post on the other board. I have seen one of our posters transformed into a "BS-hater" while on TOW and been quite surprised. But, there is nothing that we can do about that except be aware.

Enlightenment, stay around and do what I am going to do -- ignore some of the comments and talk to those you need to talk to.

best wishes to you,
marie
