I was just wondering if there's anyone near me that is going through this same thing? <P>I really would like to meet with people who are going through this same thing, BS's and WS's. You know, have a person to person support group, too. I am one of those people who has to talk about my feelings, get them out, or they will fester and make me cold. Unfortunately, that is apparently an LB to my husband, so I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.<P>I realize that the point of this forum is for anonymity, but anyone intersted in doing a person to person support group?<P>TIG

MiM,<BR>Please tell your brother to come on line here when he feels like he can. <P>H2Y,<BR>Yes, please be sure to let me know when you move to the Dallas area.<P>I don't know how to get this started. I guess we could just meet at some local restaurant, or something. It would probably be kind of uncomfortable at first, but anything that would help us get through this.<P>Are there any women out there, besides me, that live in the Metroplex?<P>TIG

TIG...I am from the DFW area. I understand your pain. I have been there and know how hard it is to get through this when no one near you can relate to you feelings. They simply have not experienced it before. I always thought it would be nice to have some kind of group, like AA for alcoholics, for people affected by infidelity. <P>I think you were looking for some ladies out there...makes sense but I wouldn't mind getting together with a few MBers out there in the DFW area. We definitely have to stick together. <BR>

LfL,<P>I don't really mind if it's male or female. I would like to get together with all MBers here. So far, I have only heard from men, so it might be a little weird for me if I'm the only woman, especially considering how lonely we are right now. :0<P>I'll let you know when we get a few more takers where and when.<P>Thanks!<BR>TIG

I'm a woman from the DFW area, but I'm just not sure I can face kind smiles and nice people right now...especially when I wonder if my situation is even something to be this upset about.<P>I'll stay tuned and find you later if you still want to establish a support ring of some kind.

I think that caution needs to be warranted here. As you said.. there are those of us who wouldn't mind getting together and having a cup of coffee or dinner.. but we/you/us/all need to becareful in participating in situations without moderation or a coach to guide us. <P>I know when I was in the hospital 2 years ago for this.. the nurses wouldn't let us crazies interact very much with each other outside of moderation to ensure that we weren't becoming attracted to one another, because it would only interfere with our recovery.<P>------------------<BR>Semper,<P>Husband2You<BR>*****<BR>Don't make me promises <BR>Baby you never did know how to keep them well <BR>I've had the rest of you <BR>Now I want the best of you <BR>It's time for show and tell<P>'All or Nothing' O-Town

Obviously that would be my biggest fear as well. Good point H2Y, we should be very cautious if we planned on a group meeting but I think it would help some. Then again maybe better if just the ladies and guys meet separately. This wouldnt be necessary for me but probably makes more sense. It would just be nice to s/w someone in person that has really gone through this.
