Lily,
I’m pretty sure I’ve never said that. If I did, please post the link. My husband is a good person, a really good person, in fact. I’m happy to be married to a really good person. That means more to me than him being straight or bi.

Tangled....This is exactly what I encountered with one of the Yahoo MOM groups, needing to meet a criteria to join....which was totally unlike the space this Forum gave me to decide for myself where I belonged.
The reason the invite wasn’t able to be approved was that the person didn’t meet the main requirement. The discord group is:
Straight Spouses in a MOM.
she did not meet the “in a MOM”.
I for one feel you should no longer need to be a member here. It appears you stay simply to entice members to your other groups.
I don’t think that’s up to you. And, from what I’ve read, Tangled frequently helps new members, and is not here “simply to entice members to other groups.
Other groups are out there, and many of us can use another perspective and get other opinions, etc. So, I see nothing wrong with mentioning other groups unless it’s against the rules.

I joined last July and posted my story. I received an unkind reply. I talked to my therapist and she said that it is possible that everyone in this group may not be a straight spouse. I read the comments and stories now and it helps me. I do not post my personal information. If a member is having a difficult time and feels uncomfortable, reading other members stories does help.

My post was a comment on Tangled's answer to a post by somebody else. It is my opinion of the way she comes across to me. And I originally wrongly posted it on the MOM board so moved it.
And no there's nothing wrong with mentioning other groups. It's the dismissive (towards the Forum) way she does it. Again this is my opinion.
The Forum already has a gay man who runs his own thread and never posts anywhere else... I think that's all the LGBTQ input we need here

My therapist indicated similar doubts about some of those posting on SSN... she thought some were trolls getting a thrill out of antagonizing true straight spouses.

There are trolls everywhere, you just have to be smarter than the trolls.

In about 10 years I've only seen a handful of people who looked like they were posting for malicious reasons or for some perverse pleasure and those were mostly in the days before you had to register to post. (Not including the odd bit of spam that filters through. Even that is pretty low compared to other sites.)

yes agreed Daryl.
What we do get here a bit is women who are not straight who have been duped into marriage by a not straight man.
