Re: Whew ... I was having withdrawal!
Hi Sue. I'm Steve. Recently I looked at the forum and there was another 'Steve' posting so... I might not be the current Steve. I might be 'Old Steve'.
In any case I used to post a lot to the forum. Im sure all the current regulars will find this new forum eventually. Hold tight. In the mean time there's a few of us 'old timers' around 
You have a future. A good one. It begins as a flicker of hope. Nurture it until it becomes a dream and when you are strong enough you will make it a reality. NEVER give up.

Yes... Even if you don't post regularly it's nice to know the forum is there as a place to share your thoughts, vent your spleen when you need to and find people who 'get it'.
Nice to meet you Dee.
I'm an old hand at this Straight Spouse thing. My ex-wife came out in 2003. A LOT of water has flowed under the bridge in 13 years. It's a journey that's for sure. Horrible at times. Life changing too... but hopefully for the better

Re: Whew ... I was having withdrawal!
Hi Sue, Steve and Dee,
I came out with my wife when we first started being in a relationship, some how that supposedly may have caused her trauma, but we are still together, and we both feel our alliance to the LGBT community and fondness for each other has grown and blossomed in the last twenty five years to make for what is truly a happy marriage.
Sincerely,
Robben

Re: Whew ... I was having withdrawal!
Hey..i found the place.. As others find it we should probably give them some reassurances for being offline so for so long;
- You did nothing wrong
- You are worthy and lovable
- There is nothing you can do to make your spouse gay
- You are not crazy or imagining it.
- Be kind and compassionate to yourself
- Take small steps each day for yourself
