I don't see any reason why the topic of this thread needs to be deleted from the site. A member of this community, one who has offered meaningful and helpful advice to many, AND who has personally seen her journey through to the point that her husband has returned home has much to offer to those of us still seeking resolution to our situations.
Is the possibility of members of this forum connecting with each other an issue here? Certainly it has happened, probably more times than anyone knows about. I think Linda has expressed the reasons and circumstance that would lead to such a thing well. We are all in need, we are all for the most part empty of the contact from a member of the opposite sex that we have been used to for quite some time. We have all been told that we were not good enough, failures in love in some way. And we come on here and receive encouragement, we are uplifted by fellow travelers who see the good in us from the changes they see happening in us. I would say the ground is more than ready for harvest in that way.
No, I think it's a valuable thread and see no reason to put it off. We all just need to be reasonable enough to react to things that we don't agree with in a way that doesn't become an attack.
I recall Braveheart's thread of a week or so ago. I was incensed with what I perceived to be his suggestions that our spouses were just done with us and maybe be all just needed to recognize that and move on. But at no time did I feel like the topic wasn't beneficial to discuss.
I hope the administrators here will recognize the inherent value in this discussion and not let a knee-jerk reaction take away that possible benefit.
