You know, the OTHER one who's probably out in the kitchen doing dishes or helping the little guys with homework while you and your new 'friend' hide out on the internet and bond over how mistreated you are.It's a crock. And boy, does it take a M right off it's hinges because each person is so vulnerable to believing the fantasy.
And... how does the M get to the state where you would be willing to spouse bash?

It's MUCH different than posting on this board I guarantee it. I've been more prone to leaving here being pissed than elated due to a validation fest, lol.
It isn't so much about validation as it is about escape. Some people take escaspe a little further than others. Just because this place isn't a validation fest doesn't mean it isn't an escape. And we have ALL certainly done our fair share of spouse bashing here.
And... how many of us are as honest IRL as we are on this board? Could be part of the problem. And I think that was what Cobra was driving at... whether its AFF.com, or your best friend, your family, an affair... what is at the base of any of these activities is an unwillingness to be honest with that person to whom you are involved. It's a dam hard thing to do, regardless of where you find your escape. Some escapes have just been labeled by society as more damaging than others.
