Infidelity Support Group
Any relationship in which one partner engages willfully in sexual relations with another outside of the partnership is considered to have experienced infidelity. This breach of trust is often traumatizing for the faithful partner as well as the relationship, and support is often needed to heal emotionally and to decide whether or not the relationship should continue after...
This board is made up of people dealing with infidelity in their life. Its mainly inhabited by the betrayed spouses/significant others.
Because of the pain experienced by the betrayed partners, posts made by cheaters who feel or express no remorse/guilt can act as triggers that cause anger and frustration and often receive very strong, emotional, or negative replies.
If you are unwilling to express remorse/guilt, or are not ready to receive replies that show you the pain that cheating causes your loved one ... for you own emotional well being this might not be the board for you.
There is a member-created group on this site specifically for people who are the cheaters. There is another for the "other people". You can find these groups by using the search function in DS.
Cheaters Anonymous - Focused on the cheater but has betrayed in the group. There are strong rules about the expectation of respectful behavior by the betrayed spouses/SO's.
OM OW Are People Too - a support group for the other person in the affair.
Since DS does not allow sticky posts, if this topic is valuable, then just bump it once in a while.

But there should be two discussion boards and I now know some of the admins and will suggest that to them.
Thanks for your professional reply.

This thread is not a directive, but an introduction, partly an introduction to some of the groups that more specifically address the needs of the CS and OP. The hope is that newcomers will have some sense of what to expect so that they will not be caught off guard. Occasionally a CS will come in and, without reading enough posts to get a sense of the group, and talk about the pain their in due to having chosen to engage in an A. Then they get verbally shit kicked and recoil in horror, while the BS who have been triggered start over on healing their newly re-opened wounds. I don't have to be an admin to see that it can be beneficial to newbies to have a heads up on what to expect here. If it were not beneficial, the thread would never get bumped.
BTW, I'm a CS, formerly a BS many times over. I rewrote this thread at the request of another member, who didn't want to catch the flack from people who might find it overbearing, because the prior introductory thread contained outdated information.
If this isnt a perfect example of his issue I dont know what is!
Holy shit.
Me and Mantha, we're good :)
DS definitely needs to add a "pin to top" function.
Bump!
