We just reached 1000 members.  This is a bittersweet milestone. 

All at once I'm both happy and sad.  I'm sad there are so many of us out there that need to be here, but I know this just scratches the surface of the overall total of straight spouses.  I'm happy that so many people find our forum and that we have this opportunity to help each other.   

Of course not all of these people are still active and post here.  Many signed up and never posted a single message.  Thousands of others visit this site regularly and don't ever feel the need or have the courage to sign up. 

I delete at least 5 spam accounts each week - most from Russia or Eastern Europe or with email addresses like "canadianpharmacty-info.com" etc..   ugh..  Wish they would leave us alone. 

Anyway..  just thought I'd mark the milestone.  I'm so happy and impressed with our community and all the compassion and help we share with each other.  While I wish there were no others out there who needed this help, I know it's not true.  There are thousands..  hundreds of thousands or more.  I hope they find help.
