Why people post on here

1) If you are married to such a wonderful man, why do you need to spend time on-line looking up this stuff AND interacting with people.

Do you even know where he is when you post on here?

2) To answer your question, the history of this forum tells me that men often cheat---perhaps even as they are being defended on here.

3) People who need to post on-line about their relationship and angrily insist how wonderful their relationship is are often insecure and do not trust their partner.

People who are in normal, stable relationships do not need internet advice or attention from total strangers and they don't need to come on here and tell me and other readers how great their man is.

There is little "good" involved in that.

The types of persons involved in frequent on-line interactions are often mentally ill, socially isolated or have gone through a dramatic experience like a divorce. Other reasons are they are looking to solicit and scam others.

This board has significant evidence of that

4) The fact that you spend so much time on-line (you admit to reading other boards, I'm guessing on the same themes frequently seen on here) and that you not only read blogs but interact with posters regarding your relationship suggests to me there are problems.
