Omg you guys! I just started to listen to the Straight Spouse Network podcast and it's REALLY good! So far the episodes are about 30 minutes long and the host is a straight spouse who is 10 years post divorce. I've listened to Episode 1 and I'm in the middle of episode 2 right now. A+++++++!

You can listen on their website here: http://www.straightspouse.org/voices-the-straight-spouse-network-podcast/

It's also available on iTunes as well.

I can't wait to hear what you think!

Ten years post divorce... wow. Is it depressing? Without listening to it, I can only imagine getting (more) depressed by someone who had to do the divorce route... and even moreso, someone who's life is still that enmeshed with the situation that they are doing podcasts 10 years later. Tell me more! I'm open-minded and not doubting your opinion, I just feel like I need a trigger warning these days for depressing stuff. I'm a little fragile right now. I still haven't brought myself to watch Transparent or Lost in Transition.

I watched Lost in Transition. It was very painful for me to watch, but I forced myself, knowing that those women (at least 2 of them) are dealing with the same thing I am. the hard part was when people at the office watched it too and talked about it the next day

I like to listen to it when ever I have some time and when I am struggling. It is good to know there are others out there who get it, and they have a lot of good information. The host has said on several episodes that she has healed and has a new life now. She does this as a way to help others who now find themselves where she once was, so I find it hopeful more than depressing.

However, I do see how it could act as a trigger.

I found Lost in Transition to be helplful. I cried while watching it because I saw my story there, but it was so helpful to see the ones I identified with making it through and staying together. It also helped me hear my spouses' side. I have been so angry at her for the lies, the show helped me to HEAR the other women on there.

I will check out the podcast! Thanks for the recommendation.

GR--I don't find it to be depressing, but it might be triggering so maybe it would be good in small doses?

Anyway, I thought it might be good to share something that one could listen to as opposed to reading or watching TV. As always, take care of yourselves! :)

I jumped ahead and listened to the one who's husband transitioned. It was really good, and I'll go start at the beginning now. I'm hopeful to gain some insight on how I feel and what I want and can do. Thanks Cora for posting the link!

Yay! I'm glad it was helpful InaQ!

I loved the episode with Kristin Orr. I desperatly want to see her show “where’s my parade” Hearing her story validated so many of things I’ve been feeling.
