Well Lil, I guess it is because I have a tendency to escape into this reality here instead of being a more active participant in my real life. I have no idea what I will fill the minutes with, to tell the truth!
I think I have a tendency to borrow trouble when there isn't any to be found, out of sheer boredom and restlessness. My M is pretty good, so what am I still doing here? Why haven't I ridden off into the sunset yet? Let me tell ya, the reasons have nothing to do with being sex starved!
It is going to be a hard habit to break, but I've broken worse.
I will leave my email address for you guys as soon as I can remember it. I don't give it out often (obviously it's not our 'family' addy).
I will miss you all! I'm having blackie and karen and lfl and chrome and lou and hairdog withdrawals already. I know I left out about a zillion people..oh yeah, Jenny and SD and GGB and the nops and tim and lass and corri and julie and my dear journey.
I totally understand. I needed the break, too. I did some lurking and was just so blown away by the wit and wisdom around here that I couldn't stay away. I read several other bulletin boards regularly, one of them for over five years, and NO WHERE do I find the insight, articulateness, depth, and sensitivity that I have found in this group as a group. Other boards have smart, articulate people, but this group has a synergy that is IMHO unique.
This is such a fabulous community of people, maybe I'll start a thread just to talk about books, movies, household repairs, pets, cute stuff the kids did, jokes, etc. with no mention of sex allowed. The trouble is that if we log in to check THAT thread, the temptation to check out the sex-related threads will be pretty powerful.

This is truth. Intelligent women are a PITA. So high maintanance. always making drama. gosh a guy just wants some peace and quiet.

Is this?

YEAH!!!! ANOTHER SUCCESS.

Hey, I've got an idea folks. This is her last thread. That means until it gets locked, she can't leave. Mu ha ha ha. Let's all bow and scrape to the gods of the SSM to never lock this thread.

Well, HP, I am not as gracious and mature as the others...still having a tantrum about you leaving. I understand how the BB can fuel the negativity we feel towards our spouses, but I have to say that you often would be my H's defender, helping me to see things in another light. He doesn't know it, but he's going to miss you too.
I totally understand your reasons for wanting to leave the board. My own use of these BBs has been quite sporadic and I do tend to take long breaks when I feel I am doing too much navel-gazing here and not enough real living in the real world.
Take care, and pop back and see us when you can. I've certainly found your insights helpful - you'll be missed.
