b52s Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 This raised an eyebrow with a profile I saw. I don't know if you are familiar with Meetup.com, it's basically a sight where social groups can get together to mingle and socialize, usually they are scheduled gatherings. Typically, most members are single...most of them, with a dabble of couples that show up, which is cool. Then I saw her introductory phrase: "My husband says I am having a mid-life crisis. I say I just want to meet some new people!" Is that like admitting that's the beginning of the end?
Ronni_W Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Not in my mind, no. For me, "she" would have to say a lot more than that, for one to be able to start to guess if she's actually lying about just wanting to expand her social circle.
carhill Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 IMO, the tone isn't exactly the way I'd want to introduce my marriage to a social group, but 'beginning of the end'? Nah, it's when they get quiet....that's when you have to start worrying...

Author b52s Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 depends on the group she's joined The group is basically a social group....it mostly involves getting together at a bar or wine lounge drinking and socializing with a bunch of people with Nametags. I've heard some women refer to some of these social groups as Meat markets anyhow....but....they aren't all that bad. Yeah, I'm not sure why she would introduce herself in such a fashion either. Kinda strange, and not sure if I were the husband that I'd be happy to see such a remark.
LucreziaBorgia Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Alcohol + bored married people w/out their spouses with them = affairs. Plain and simple. They are playing with fire. Nearly every person I was an OW to or cheated with started in a similar way... 'let's go get a drink'... In fact, if I wanted to be with someone bad enough, I would arrange it to include alcohol because it was so much easier to get things started that way. It is a sh*tty thing to even admit, but in the words of Ricky's dad (Trailer Park Boys) "that's the way she rolls, boys." Edited November 26, 2009 by LucreziaBorgia
TimH Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 My first thought was,did she even tell you about her boredom and the fact she posted on the site? If not there's a red flag right there.She could very well be fishing for a bite by the opposite sex.Has she talked with you previous about her boredom or complained to you? If so,did you listen? If not,red flag and its time to get started with communication.Ignore it and all of a sudden she could be gone quicker than you can imagine.
