BlueeyedJonesy Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 There are more OW on this forum than OM. It is so rare to see a guy on here...what do you guys think? men are obviously all over the other boards...
Impudent Oyster Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I know the answer and I could tell you, but then I'm sure I'd be permanently banned instead of just stifled for voicing my opinion.
pgummins Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 God I don't know. I am 19, I have been an OM for 6 months and I felt suicidal because I was second best. I put it all down to my inexperience with relationships and not knowing what boundaries are!!
ladydesigner Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Why do you think this is? There are more OW on this forum than OM. It is so rare to see a guy on here...what do you guys think? men are obviously all over the other boards... I think because most of the time men don't ask for help. It would be great to see more men participating. It would definitely give a great perspective from their viewpoint.
D-Lish Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I imagine juggling two women wouldn't leave a guy much time to be posting about it.

Anyways, maybe men are just better at having fun than women and instead of hanging out on these boards (all the boards here, not just this one) all the time they actually go out and enjoy their lives.
jennie-jennie Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 MW are more prone to divorce for love than MM, since MM are more torn between love and duty. MM fear losing contact with their kids if they divorce.

You're right. Some have more than 2. Some have young girls, still others are on the down low.

MM fear losing contact with their kids if they divorce. It is so much more complex than this. Funnily enough I was talking about this with my H earlier. As a WS in an affair you lose yourself in the "fog" yet in the back of your mind you know it is not real. This is what keeps you in the marriage because you know that if push came to shove, the marriage is real whilst the affair isn't. Duty absolutely never came in to it for my staying with my H - it was all about love.
