Re: I'm putting forward a request to change the name of this board

Since this section doesn't apply to you why come to it? Why request a name change just because you don't like it when MOR/MOM are pretty well known acronyms for our situations?

Well, CMaree, it's not surprising she has a stake in the name, as she is the one who requested this section be created in the first place.

I made the mistake of not voicing my thoughts on the name of this board way back when I was successful at persuading Admin to let the straightspouses.... who were living the Mindfuck and didn't need the judgement of straightspouses who were intent on leaving their bisexual/gay SOs... have somewhere to post.

There's a fine line between straightspouses who are okay with their SOs being gay/bisexual/gay in denial...and those who aren't but I always thought this board should be for straightspouses who were deciding where they belonged. Not straightspouses who had already decided and wanted to wave flags and tell us how great their life is.

If I could go back and intervene when the member/Admin decided that "Strategies for MOMS" was the appropriate name for this board I would.
As that is impossible, and realising the name of the board is now probably in keeping with the changes that happened to SSN..all I can do is voice my opinion.
As you are entitled to voice yours

It’s not only the title, but the subtitle that makes us feel welcome…     

“Strategies for MOM's
Discussion area for only those who remain committed”

I think that subtitle does nothing to reflect the rawness and confusion of most of the straight men and women who look for support.

Moderator’s Please consider creating  sub-group for us Straight Spouses.  It would be most appropriate & appreciated.
