Regular posters (and lurkers!) on Relationships, what's your story?

[alembec]

So this forum and thread has been a total lifeline since my big fat Script OW LTB saga. And yes, all you regular posters called it right, from the beginning. Thank you all, for the before and I'm sure the after.

Can I ask you, what's your story? What made you become a regular here? How did you find this place and how has it helped you?

As for me, I discovered mumsnet for the Baby sleep threads (magic of a non sleeping baby), and stayed for the Relationships support!

I've been on and off for years.
LTR broke down many years ago I have 2 DC.
I came back when I decided to start dating again because most of my friends are married and I didn't have people to talk to.
I met someone lovely online 6m ago

I'm a regular on MN because I like it. I post a lot in a variety of topics, but navigate to them from 'Active'

I don't think you need a particular 'tale' to have things to say in this or any other topic.

Been on MN since I miscarried my first pregnancy in 2009. Stayed here when I had my DD IN 2010.

In Nov 2015 I found out that exDH was cheating - and lying very cruelly about it - and there was a lot of other horrible shit going on with him too that I don't even have the energy to type. I found this board inspirational and a lifeline even though I rarely post.

Our divorce was finalised before Christmas (just in time for my 6th wedding anniversary...). It's a year since exDH left and I am so content - even happy - with my life. ExDH is struggling but I actually take no joy in that. I'm finally reaching the indifference I'd hoped for. If anything, I feel sorry for him. Life for me is easier now and DD has settled into it well.

The usual story though - I never thought that exDH would cheat - but he did. And I knew exactly what to expect thanks to all the amazing women on here.

i was on a forum called vipers who were ebay members who had been banned from ebay discussion boards, one day someone mentioned this forum as in taking the micky out of the twee people on here, so i looked in and got hooked on AIBU, posted a lot on cat litter threads because i am massively into cats, as in i work as a volunteer for a cat rescue, foster, work in their shop etc,and over the last few years have contributed to threads, only one name cahnge as i dont have 6 cats any more, when i found out my exH was cheating came on here more to rant but had some good advice too, and seven years later still hooked on mumsnet
