Experienced DBers (and even those inexperienced ones with insights and help to offer):
I think we all need to pause today and consider with whom we are spending our precious time and resources. Looking across the main page of just the Newcomers, Infidelity, MLC and "We're Separted -- Now What?" forums, I see person after person after person in pain.
Polite, earnest people who are getting little to no replies to their threads.
I'm going to do my damnedest to get around to as many as I can over the weekend. I'd like the rest of you guys to consider doing the same. Far too much time and energy is being spent on people who, frankly, aren't listening, don't WANT to listen, and are downright rude. Or who listen politely, then don't take the advice and just keep making the same mistakes over and over again and show no willingness to do what needs to be done.
