You're pretty mean yourself, STL. You certainly lash out at those who, God forbid, don't happen to share your opinion on a topic. Guess I hit a nerve with you, though, eh? What's the matter, can't stand it when someone tells it like it is? Or is everybody that posts here supposed to fall in line with the rest of the "Poor Me" deniers and repeat the MB mantra over and over: ITS THE FOG ITS THE FOG ITS THE FOG? I think YOU are in a fog, STL. <BR>You and your wife appear to have been crowned King and Queen of the MBs. Well, I suppose that's appropriate, considering you have, what, - FOUR, FIVE marriages between the two of you? And you, STL, you're a real gem. Cheated on your current wife, (more than once?) not just during your brief, one year marriage, but DURING YOUR ENGAGEMENT, no less!!! What about during the Honeymoon?<BR>So tell me, when exactly did you "See The Light" and become such an expert on relationships that you feel justified in harshly criticizing and belittling those who express opinions that differ from yours?

Okay .. Reality Check,<P>I don't know why I am honoring you with a response. And, yes, I do know this post was not addressed to me. But I'm crashing it anyway.<P>Why are you here? Are you trying to rebuild your marriage? I get the impression you come here solely to harass and berate us with your sophomoric immature comments.<P>I would ask that you cease your hurtful threads unless you can feel some degree of compassion for the people here trying to do the best they can in a situation that is devistating to every facet of the family unit.<P>With that said, I sense you are in some sort of pain and anger, and I'm sorry for that. Why else would you lash out and hurt people in a place where they have found a glimmer of hope, where there was once none.<P>God Bless,<BR>Jo

Reality Check:<P>Although I am a new member, I have spent many hours reading and getting help from the posts here. In all the hours reading, I have never encountered an ugly post like yours. There are so many people trying to help others, and the discussions have been on a very high level. <P>People in these forums don't want to deal with attitudes like you are expressing.<P>If you have a problem with your marriage that people can help with, ask. People will help. <p>[This message has been edited by Estes49 (edited July 22, 2001).]

<B>is everybody that posts here supposed to fall in line with the rest of the "Poor Me" deniers and repeat the MB mantra over and over: ITS THE FOG ITS THE FOG ITS THE FOG? </B><P>Lord Jesus, <BR> I pray you would recue RC from whatever demons are causing the pain and hurt that come off the page. Thank you Lord, for your salvation, for your love to us and for forgiving us our sins.<P>Lord, let RC see that the words printed here are bitter and filled with meanness, and that some of us are hurting so badly we just can't take anymore hurt right now. This is no place to fight. I thank you, Lord, for making this MB forum a safe place for me to go and feel the Balm of Gilead. Please REMOVE Satan from our midst, Lord Jesus. YOU alone are our salvation and our healer. We Praise you and Bless you, Lord for watching over every thing that comes forth from our hearts and mouths (and fingertips!).<P>Amen<BR>

LMAO Lupolady!<P>FINGERTIPS!!!!!<P>AMEN .....<P>Jo

Well, I tried not to reply to this, read, re-read then just couldn't help it. Call me weak, call me whatever... <P>Okay - here goes:<BR>RC - aw c'mon. Get a flippin' grip and reality check for yourself! It just sounds like you can dish it out but you can't take it! What do you expect when you make judgemental and just plain mean statements on a board where folks are trying as hard as h#ll to heal from the worst hurt in their lives. Sometimes, folks can only take so much ya know.<P>Geesh! Time to grow up!! (okay, so that's judgemental, but man oh man...it's getting to be bit much...)<BR>

ok ok hers what i see by reading reality checks threads<BR>note: this is about reality check not for reality check<BR>and of course this is just an assumption.......<P>Reality check is most likely an OW who was led on through imagination <B>FOG </B> et al. that they were the ONE!.. <BR>im guessing that she thought she had it in the bag with the MM of her dreams..... too bad he was married huh? <BR>Seems to me like she came in second..... and chances are is totally bummed at being cast off once the wife found out and the MM decided who it was he really loved.... apparently not reality check ... all her hopes came crashing down on her one day and all her dreams shattered...no more illusions for her.. thus the name....<P>as a matter of fact i bet you anything that this isnt her only name i bet that she has ay least 3 others.<P>how close does everyone think i am?

Very good assessment. I think you're damn close, Luv.<P>Jo<P>

RealityCheck--<P>Here's a reality check for you...<P>#1. Live impeccably in your word...<BR>#2. Do not take anything personally...<BR>#3. Make no assumptions...<BR>#4. Do your best always...<P>And, remember...See each day as a new beginning...<P>I will second Lupolady's prayer for you...my you be healed in God's word, may His hand be on you always...<P>Cali

Realitycheck,<P> I see you’re back for another round. It's obvious from your posts you do not seem to agree with the MB solutions and beliefs. Cool.. I'm not sure that I can swallow every bite either. Do you believe in the possibility of disagreeing with someone without lowering yourself to name calling and belittling others. It's not the disagreement that is pi$$ing people off here, it’s the fact that you seem to void of any tact whilst trying to do so.<P>Once again I will challenge you to tell us your story. Only this time I'll use your own words.<BR><B>So tell me, when exactly did you "See The Light" and become such an expert on relationships that you feel justified in harshly criticizing and belittling those who express opinions that differ from yours?</B><P>So come on and use those brass ba!!s of yours to cover some real ground and help yourself, like what the he!! happened to you to make you so damn bitter and cruel in the way you address others here? Come on….is it too painful? Try it...it might help. All you have to fear is fear of yourself.<BR>

GL,<P> No problem..I felt a little stupid for not understanding. My kids are only 4 & 6 so I'm sure you can remember what language I'm most fluent in these days. You win if you guessed Barney, Sesame Street or Scooby Dooo. Once in a while it kinda freaks out some of my friends without kids when I bust into the Barney clean-up song and magically the kids start scurrying about picking up their stuff. <BR>
