Wives of Bi/Gay husbands forum
I just saw and signed up for this forum. Do you know how long it takes to get approved or if there is ever any activity on it?

Roo...if it's anything like the Yahoo group I tried to join..it may take awhile. I remember the feelings of doubt..that I hadn't filled the online form out properly, or that I hadn't given them enough info about my situation (or the wrong information!). When my application to join was declined my sense of failure didn't help my already confused & emotional state at this maelstrom that I was working through.
I'm nothing if not persistent when I feel something MAY be worth it, so I applied again...only to be declined again.
That, to me, said "don't beat myself up about reaching out to something that's so difficult to join" It caused way too much stress.
And in the end it didn't matter...because I found this forum. And I have realised that even joining a site for wines ....wives! lol.... of bisexual men continues to put a greater emphasis on my partner....than it does on me. I don't want to be seen as his partner. I want to be me!

Does the SSN have anything to do with the mentioned forum? Funny, I just got an email telling me I was DENIED. One of the reasons stated my email address is not a yahoo address (and it was) and several other possibilities. I replied with the info requested so we'll see.
I have this group and am happy for that. You guys are my ONLY source of comfort in this hell that I am in.
BTW, he made another 'stop' at his favorite local gay sex club yesterday on his way back from staying on the boat over the weekend. I didn't go because of the new kitten. Every opportunity he gets, he goes there! Makes me sick, sad and angry.

The yahoo group you are referring to has no affiliation with the SSN.

Okay, thank you. I was just wondering because I found the link through SSN.

We are in favor of people getting the best and most helpful support they can find. If that group is helpful then we hope everyone can get help there.
I'm clearly not a member of the group and I can't help with signup or anything related to it. But I wish you the best in getting in and hope they can offer you some great advice and compassion. Of course, signing up there is just another form of support. Obviously we hope you stick around here as well.
