Hi JD! My user name is the same. There are two My Affair Boards at I village. One is called My Affair Support Group (which only welcomes people currently in affairs)and the other is the Redbook My Affair Board (anyone one can post on this board). I am from the original Redbook board. My name has been BurningBright over there for more than a year. The other posters who are coming over here from the same board, have not changed their names. Those who have changed names, have said so in their posts here and said what their current nics were. Hope it helps. Those of us who have moved over here really are a great bunch. Hope you will get to know us. <p>As for me, I'm a betrayed spouse. Posting on a board where all sides of an affair are FREELY expressed has been an imortant part of my recovery. <p>Thanks.<p>Love,
BB

JD, I forgot to mention. The link you posted is NOT, I repeat, NOT the board we are from. I hadn't looked at the link you posted when I wrote my last post. Yikes! I know it's a little confusing but it's the Redbook MY AFFAIR Board not MY AFFAIR SUPPORT GROUP Board. There's a difference. Oh, and the MY AFFAIR board has changed it's name to ALL SIDES OF AN AFFAIR board. That's the reason we came here. There was a big hoo-haa over betrayed spouses posting on a board called MY AFFAIR. Some people thought it was misleading. Anyway, if you check out the archives on the ALL SIDES board, you will find us.<p>Sorry for the confusion. We aren't posers. Promise. Yesterday/Pepper can probably explain the situation better.<p>Thanks.<p>Love, BB

http://boards2.ivillage.com/messages/get/rbmyaffair32.html?outline=-1<p>This is the once from whence we came. The URL still says "rbmyaffair" because, until recently, it was Redbook's "My Affair" board. Now our former board is called "All Sides of an Affair" and Redbook also has a new "My Affair" board. (Which is not the same as the iVillage "My Affair" support group board.) I'll send URLs of all, if you'd like.<p>You may need to go back into the archives a bit to find some of us on our former board. As things turned sour, we began to leave.

The edit icon is the piece of paper and the pencil (right next to the sunglasses) .... you can only edit your own posts (duh).<p>MY name on the redbook board is/was Pepperband ..... (I'm a huge Beatles fan)<p>I'm going to church now. I'll post my "story" later.... if I can remember it!

Morning all,
Thanks JD, you are very wise.
I did go look at the site and saw pepper, autumn and seeking on an archive.
Ladies, you are most welcome. We have had some rather disturbing things happen in the past.
Uhhh, maybe-just maybe, there are a lot of us here that have unresolved trust issues?!?
Welcome to MB. aloha, cl

We had some strange and disturbing experiences on the former board ourselves. You folks were wise to do some checking.

Hi, jdmac1!<p>Okay, here's the lowdown. I've provided the URL's for all of the groups that pertain to infidelity at iVillage.<p>This was our board......if you look through the archives you will see all of our names. However, I would like to note that for the last few days on that board I used the username "selquet29"....before that, I was always selket28. I have my own resons for my name change at the end. Everyone else used the same name that is being used here (except for the ones above who have already filled you in on the situation). BELIEVE ME we have all had experiences with Board Snatchers (disrupters) so we can understand any trust issues that any may have. <p>A little history on us and our board (you asked [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img] )<p>Before September of last year our board resided at Women.com. For some reason, TPTB decided to merge (or to be bought out) by iVillage. Many regulars on our board left at the time of the move. Several of us stayed and tried to make a go of it. See, we had VERY MUCH a unique board on infidelity. There was no "go you girl get you a MM" kind of support. All sides of the affair discussed the issues of affairs. What could be gotten there was a good, CLEAR dose of reality. We are a very direct and up-front kinda folk. Of course, there were always "whiners" because IT was supposed to be a MY Affair board and people were suprised when they didn't find support for their affairs. The merge took place and all went to h#ll from there. We were lied to by TPTB on more than one occasion. Suddenly the OW became the target focus and a new board was created for them. We were chastised because we only wanted to support the OW if she wanted out of the affair. Here is the link to our board.......(the name was changed to "All Sides of an Affair......but if you go to the archives you will see that it was originally named "My Affair")<p>Redbook All Sides of an Affair<p>This is the link for the *new* board created for the OW who wanted support but did not want to get out of her affair........<p>Redbook My Affair<p>The following are links to iVillage sites..MOST of us did NOT post on these boards...(WARNING....these are boards with many triggers....if you are a BS and go to the My Affair Support Group Board be prepared for the kind of support we did not offer on our board)...<p>iVillage Ending the Affair Board:<p>iVillage My Affair Support Group<p>iVillage Betrayed Spouse Support Group<p>I hope this clarifies some things. As some of us Redbook RiffRaff have already stated....we felt that we have been betrayed when our board was segregated.<p>My story is posted on a separate thread.<p>selket<p>P.S. I would like to add some of my personal information at the bottom of each of my posts..(I've seen this on other posts)...I can't figure out how to do it.....can someone help me?<p>[ February 17, 2002: Message edited by: selket ]<p>[ February 17, 2002: Message edited by: selket ]</p>
