Ten bucks says Puppy would have figured out a way to come through my computer screen just to smack me upside my head!
I wouldn't take that bet.
I need to point out here that this forum has actually gotten MUCH better in this regard, in my opinion. In the old, heavily-moderated days (including the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre," where Chocolateeyes got banned), there was MUCH less "tough love" advice allowed on here. MUCH less. I wasn't really allowed to say what I say now, Robx and Gucci would have been warned and McQueen would have been long since BANNED by now.
There is a much wider array of opinions and approaches on here now, freely discussed, and "amen" and "Hallelujah" FOR it, I say!
That all being said, Serenity, I do think that as far as the BETRAYED/LEFT-BEHIND SPOUSES are concerned, the past year or so has been some of the worst I've seen in terms of passivity, fearfulness and out-and-out denial and enabling behavior. So it's ironic that in the midst of MORE "tough love" advice than has ever been allowed before, more people seem to be doing "Bo-Peep" or even "Big Bird" and having no success.
