I'm so glad to find this review site. I have talked to other members and we all agree that this site has gone horribly wrong. It once was a really decent site. Had members that were suffering, sure, but had some very strong voices that were far enough along in their healing to provide balance and healthy support. It has completely gone off the rails. I blame the staff and the site owners. DS is petty and petulant. She is no more healed than when she had her affair. She just has substituted SI for another man.
The collective pathology of the current members is ensuring new members don't stay long and keeps the dysfunctional around for years. There is a member that actually posts how she married her husband so she could have a baby daddy for her child and then added 3 more with him. She actually stated that she loved him because of how good he was to her and how well he took care of her so she can stay home and home school. I'm a betrayed spouse and find this absolutely appalling. I have never believed there was any excuse for cheating but seriously? Treating this guy like a walking wallet and now she has him on a very short leash and wonders if she still loves him? She never loved him. Damn, woman. Take care of yourself and your kids! Have some bloody independence and pride.
Sadly none of the good people that would call that stuff out before are around anymore so just the enablers that bitterly wallow to "oh you poor poor thing".
They need to shut the site down and start fresh or at least sell/resign for a group that will be in a far better place to offer some genuine support and also call out wayward thought processes on BOTH sides. I'm leaving and I know of several members that barely even go on anymore. You can really tell by how slow the forums are and how few people respond that aren't the "in" crowd.
DS, do the right thing, for once. Step aside.
