I confess I absolutely don't understand why couples feel the need to discuss their issues with each other on a public message board. I just don't get it. At all. It seems like it would only make things worse.

I confess I understand one person of the couple talking about it on a message board, like you'd talk with friends.

I confess I rather like Geeky and he was very kind to me when I was very sad a couple months ago.

I confess I've done desparate things when in a bad spot in a relationship when I felt like I was grasping at straws for something, anything. And I've come to the conclusion that when you are grapsing, it's usually best to just let go.

I confess that I don't think any less of Geeky and his love for doing what they feel they need to do, and even though I might sound like a bit of a bitch in the confessions above, I'm not.

I confess that I find the continual 3playa discussions to be pointless and stupid. There are many other message boards out there. Who cares.

I confess that, after meeting her, I can't imagine anyone thinking velvet a bitch.


I also confess to my lack of understanding of the this board that board issues. Well, I confess I might have an inkling but I confess that I find I don't know why people let it become an issue here.

>it goes over my head as well.

it has to do more with feelings of rejection and lack of empowerment than it does with individual personalities, for the most part...

I confess I am in a really really shitty mood today (ah, pms).

I confess it was really nice to have bucket say to me 'good to see you this morning, giggs,' and I felt the same way about seeing him (ah, the land of endless affirmations).

I confess I really use the word really way too much.

I confess I'm really tired of posting about my struggle between working and eplaya-ing, although it remains in the forefront of my so-called reality.

Based on what was said on the bar thread after you left last night, you may have a chance. You're winning points with your honesty--a lot of us have been to simelar places in our lives.

Long term, you might want to find some other sort of referee than the board--that could burn us out on both of you.

I understand how hard it is to find a way to burn when it is a big part of your partner's life, in a way you don't directly share. That's actually one of the main reasons I started posting here after the 03 burn. Tagging along after the MrFishist wasn't enough reason to go there. I've met a lot of people whom I respect and like on this board and although I had an abbrevated event last year, finding and meeting people in 3d was amazing.

Whoops. Not what I wanted you to get from me. I was trying to give you hope--at least in earning a place on the board. (I simply don't have the info on the other.) And hope for finding a place on the playa as well, if it's something you want. I hope it makes things better--what ever "better" may be.

I confess I don't know what I'm talking about, my own marriage failed a in 2000. After trying individual counseling we never made it to the marriage counselor point. We had become different people and even though we loved each other and didn't want to lose our union, our differences were to great for us to be happy with what it had become and there was no way to make it something we could each be happy with. We divorced at a point that we could still be good friends, and IM often. The distance makes it easier.

I have know Idea what you guys differences are and don't really want to know. Only you two can decide if you will be able to work out your differences and find compromises you each can live with.

I know it's hard to understand how a virtual community like E-play or the greater community of interest that Burning Man is can compete with real life. I think the first thing you have to consider this is a form of real life. We have each found our own ways of being a part of it, you can too, if you want to.

We love George even though there are times we can't stand him. many of us feel the same way towards you., and hope what ever happens with your relationship that you will fair well and find happiness.

I confess that this whole Geekie/Kristines makes me feel funny, and not in the good way.

i also confess that i just unloaded some different frustrations on two unsuspecting viictims on the Tickets thread, and i don't feel a bit bad about it.

Honest to God people! Yeah, I read those stupid fucking comments she's referring to... Nice touch. That was almost like real empathy.

This person (Kristines) needs some support people. If the 4WotA wanted to show they're not just a lot of hot-air, this would be the time to prove it. Unless talking on and on about masturbation is the limits of your powers. And before you get huffy with ME, remember who the fuck came up with that term (4WotA) in the first place.

(Oooo, feels good to get pissed off once in a while)

i confess that i thought sensei was smart enough to realise that there are other modes of communication than the threads.
i further confess that this is a bit of a sticky situation, but surly is attempting to walk a thin line. and will probably live to regret even making the attempt.
