None of us here are doing anything to push other people's buttons, everything we say (for the most part) is kind and a sincere attempt to help the other person, because we've all felt the same pain.
We don't see each other in the sweats, we're not irritated by the dirty dishes in the kitchen, we don't have years and years of often difficult interactions behind us - get the point?
This is not the real world. I gotta tell ya, as someone who has been on the receiving end of "all we did was talk about our marriages" (lie, by the way) - many of our spouses would not be thrilled by what goes on here.
I'm also getting an understanding of the draw of this kind of interaction that I'm not entirely sure I'm comfortable with. Quite often the first thing I want to do when anything happens in my life is get on here and tell you guys about it. My conversations with people here are taking up more and more space in my real life. I'm not really into computer stuff in general, so what is this like for someone like my H who is? How can I ever really expect that he won't be pulled back into this kind of thing - first the conversations, then whatever comes after that?
