But getting stuck in endless cycles of venting, and feeding and encouraging the venting, to me, is a very dangerous mind set. The ganged up 'spouse bashing' here is enough to make my blood run cold.
I agree with this, too much venting is dangerous. I think I have a pretty good balance. I don't think I "spouse-bash". I've said many times my H is a great guy, best friend, on and on. This a SSM message board. That means, most of us ARE MARRIED WITH LITTLE TO NO SL. That can be very frustrating! We are b!itching about that more than anything. People who truly do not like their S's should probably not even be on this board. The problem is not the SL. Hey, vent. Feed one aonther's misery and piss-poor frames of mind. Have at it. No sweat off my back.
Well, clearly it is sweat off your back or you wouldn't have VENTED that way just now. So there!
