What I'm saying is if you had suffered depression, addiction, or some kind of abuse what would you want? Love!! but I read nothing but people complaining & whining about how bad their life is because of their spouse & no point did I read "hey my life is bad but at lease I'm not going through what my spouse is and even though they are broken I still love them and be here in a non-judgmental way" nope what I read is oh whoa is me, no wonder they leave us
I have no idea what boards you're reading then...because I have heard the cries of many the LBS who laments what they've done to their WAS's to drive them away.
In fact...it's been LBH's who have helped me be more understanding of my own H (I am an AWAW)...and find ways to work with him.
It's ups and downs here on everyone's threads...and sometimes, as Kevin said, it's just a place to vent your bad feelings so they go away and you can be more productive with your spouse.
