Re:Just one man's opinion Cizzler: Very well said. This is the place I come to when I need to be reminded I'm not crazy, and I'm very normal for feeling like I feel. And 9 times out of 10 if I'm low when I log in, by the time I log out I'm feeling much better. I do enough crying about the sorry state of my life, if I can have a laugh or two while I'm visiting this board that can't be wrong.
Re:Just one man's opinion Blueyes424: I have to throw my 2 cents in as well, ya know, cuz I am a woman, and God knows how opinionated I can be!!!!
I think joking about things and having fun with them is the best coping mechanism there is. I think if people are too serious, things get really tense, and nothing gets accomplished and figured out.
It's easier to be joking about the serious stuff while dealing with it than to be too serious and get more upset than what it's worth.
So that's my 2 cents, if anyone feels the need, give me change!
Re:Just one man's opinion twetifb: [quote"> I love coming here and laughing and joking with people.[/quote">
I just wanted to say that I enjoy the easy banter and camaraderie on this board. I don’t post much, but I read often and I would not “check in” everyday if it weren’t for the laughs and smiles that I feel when reading. I mean don’t get me wrong, I also cry sometimes when reading the breakup stories and vents, but I also laugh and that’s what’s important to me during this difficult time. This site also gives me hope because I’ve been here for over a year, so I have seen how far a lot of people have come. Just wanted to share!

Re:Just one man's opinion OldSchool: I'll just simply concur with what Kin has said. I think we all have the capability of joking around, being supportive and non-judgemental. This site helped me realize many things about myself that most likely wouldn't have been addressed without much needed therapy.
It was always my goal to figure out what happened to me in my marraige and where I'm at personally in my life's journey. Along the way, I get sidetracked just as everyone else and realize somethings I write down can be borderline offensive.
What I've learned and taken from the many mistakes made in my life is to try to correct those and move on. Burning bridges and denying my own rights to grow are things that I want to be apart of my past. Forming relationships and being more of a positive than a negative isn't a perfect science. We all tend to fall off track once in a while, but that's why we're human.
Just as in our personal relationships, in order to move on ya have to forgive yourself as well as others that have seemingly done ya wrong. It's easier to hate than it is to love. I'd rather be the person I've always imagined for myself as someone that is thankful for each day and appreciates family, friends and OJAR.
So, this is my soapbox on what I think about this situation.
