We have a new Sister, Tanyanz. Tanya lives in New Zealand (my most favorite place in this whole world) and wrote this in her profile:
Husband of almost 10 yrs is a sex addict, we have two small children & I need support from others who know the pain of this situation.
Welcome Tanya. Take your time, look around, read the topics and comments and don’t be shy, just jump right in and join a conversation or chat.
Let us know what you need and we will do our best to support and help you.
Hugs ~ JoAnn

Hi Tayanz
I’m Australian by birth, all my family are still there but I up sticks and moved to England 21 years ago. I’m glad you found the site; it’s so very helpful just to know you are not alone. There does seam to be lack of support for partners of SAs, even in England, don’t worry you now have a network at your finger tips!
Welcome I hope you find the peace you need just knowing your emotional ups and downs are normal under the circumstances and you are not the crazy one.
Love and hugs

Hi & Thank you for the welcome.
Diane – not sure what you mean by posting to my story? I am still getting use to the site & how it works. My brain doesn’t seem to be working as well as it use to, feels a bit look baby brain again! Ohh just realised JoAnn has posted my story – thanks for the feedback.
Thanks again
TanyaWelcome TanyaNZ, So sorry you’re in this mess. Well if misery loves company, you’ve come to the right place – we’re all suffering but somehow it’s so much easier to bear with all of the wonderful companions on this site! We’ll help you anyway we can! Love, Liza
Welcome aboard the love train, Tanya! I’m very sorry for your circumstances but so glad you found us! You will be too! I have read your story and I feel your pain. We have all been there! (Unfortunately) Know this – we will hold your hand every step of the way…no matter what your truths are, no matter how ugly, no matter how many times you change your mind- we will lift you up and support you, new sister! Thank you for being here as we will learn from YOU as well.
Love,

Dear Tanya,
Welcome! I have only been on the site for a short period of time, but have found it to be a safe nurturing place of understanding. The women here are amazing, wise and funny. What we are all going through is so painful, and before I found this site I felt very alone in it. It is so good to connect with people who truly understand.
Sometimes it is a little disconcerting how similar, our situations are. Even as all the details may be different–what we are feeling and how we are being treated, the roads we have travelled are uncannily echoed here. We are all in different places with this. I hope you find comfort and support here.
Much love and well wishes to you!
~BonnieTanya, what you said about your brain not working so well, I was just thinking that this morning, and wondering just how long this mush-brain thing is going to last. I have to break down even the simplest of tasks into baby steps these days. xoxo
Welcome Tanya,
These are loving caring sisters who listen and respond so gently. I’m glad you found us. Not glad for the reason you are here, but that is something we are all learning about together. Wishing you love and peace.
Hi Tanya,
We’re all “not here” and sometimes we’re “more here” than others and sometimes we are the strong ones and will hold another sister up and then sometimes, it is ourselves that need the support. Sometimes helping someone going through the same exact (or almost exact) shit, helps us realize what is actually going on in our own situations. Sometimes our own experiences help another not make the same mistakes or speed up the learning curve. Its really, really steep and sadly, some women don’t want to even learn what the reality is.
Not that I blame them. its the stuff of nightmares. But, I believe that its better to face them head on, because that is the only way out of this mess.
As for posting “your story.” If you find the “group” “stories”, I believe that’s where you post it.
again, welcome and so glad that you found us! best ~

To post in a group be sure to click on the ‘New Topic’ and write your post there. Otherwise it will not show up in the forum.
Be sure to ‘join’ the group first, otherwise you will not be able to post a topic in it, but you can always comment.
Another way (a little trickier) is to start a new topic while on the ‘Forums’ page. Just click the ‘New Topic’ and the box will come up. Now, for the tricky part. Below the box is a drop down menu for groups. YOU MUST choose a group that you want–and the only choices you will have are groups that you have already joined.
If you do not choose a group and you click to post the topic IT WILL DISAPPEAR forever. So, take heed.
Detailed instructions for starting a New Topic are on the ‘How To?’ Members Page that can be accessed through the menu on the right. ~ JoAnn
