When I skim through the topics in the support section, I see many threads started by newer members. I don't think the volume has significantly decreased, but we do sometimes get small bursts of activity followed by some quieter times.
Looking through it, there were definitely many big bursts in the months following lockdown.

I've been here pre-COVID, and COVID's been an added challenge and stressor while healing from this TGT mess.
This community has been a lifesaver during this double whammy. I think it's been that for many if I may say.

Definitely for me. People who get it and are brave and generous enough to share their unvarnished experience. A place of truth. What a relief.

I was helped for reading the posts. If the support group is making changes what not have everyone follow the golden rule. Think before you type. Treat others the way that you want to be treated.

thanks for the link Beijoux - I always enjoy reading some UK content as I was born there. In my youth uk culture was so cutting edge, if it were anywhere, something new would be talked about there, but not so much these days, so I still wait for some acknowledgement that not all MOMs involve a straight. It seems to me quite an appreciable section of MOMs involve two people who think of themselves as bisexual and have tricked the other into thinking they are straight.
The previous relationship x had was like that. They lasted three years broke up with lots of recriminations and went and married straights.
(I think I'm going to stick with x instead of ex - it gives me a sense I am blotting him out - like he did to me - revenge!!!)

I'm not wanting to offend anyone but there don't seem as many true straightspouses here who are distraught and scrabbling for kindness, advice and help anymore, and I wonder why that is

It seems to me there are more varied resources now for straight spouses than ever before and people are turning to those resources for support.

You are correct Tangled. I am out of my bad situation now but when I came here in July 2020, some people were downright rude. That is why I seldom post. I can understand why some straight spouses seek help elsewhere or do not seek help at all. I broke up with the homosexual that I was with for ten and a half years. I am happier than I have been in over two years.

I haven’t been around much recently, but I’m wondering if the new site has a concrete launch date yet?
