Hi Lonelee, I'm sorry you don't feel you've been receiving much in the way of feedback, and I would really suggest staying with the forum as it is so helpful. Some tips to generate some more traffic on your sitch would be:

Post to others on their threads. It doesn't matter if you are a Newbie. You are a few months in and have something to offer others. Even if it is just your journey so far, or to offer support.

Read up on other threads and get to 'know' what is happening with people. You may want to start following sitches similar to your own - similar age and OP involved....me for instance!!!

Post regularly, and ask questions and opinions about your sitch. Sometimes if you just give an update, others will read, but not respond.

If you'd like to see an example of a poster who has quickly made friends on the site, have a look at Bob's threads on newcomers. His friendly approach and supportive comments have led to lots of traffic on his thread - particularly when he has needed some urgent support.

So, I think it's a case of putting more in to get more out of the forum, and in time you'll be so glad you stuck around and did this. I have a little corps of buddies who joined at a similar time to me - and we tend to post regularly on each other's threads.

As for your sitch, I think it is no bad thing that you weren't available to take up your H's invite. The best you can do is detach as much as you are able right now. Things will likely take a while to play out. Sounds like you are doing well in terms of GAL, which is vital.

Your H is also the right age for a MLC. Have you looked at that part of the forum at all? It's where I post now. Also, maybe have a look at the threads of Elly, Pink, Sunny B, HaWho and Raliced for some lovely ladies, who are doing really well in similar circumstances. Also, are you reading the books??

Lastly, I'm afraid I have no idea about the cookies and subscriptions query. This part of the forum is moderated by Cadet, who is busy GAL at weekends.....doubtless he'll be back in the pilot's seat on Monday and will clarify then.
