Some of the other boards....

scare me. I guess as someone who's still a newlywed, I don't like reading posts about "STBXH"s, marriage counseling, cheating Hs, etc. Some of the other boards are super snarky (but instead of being about wedding planning etiquette, it's about marriages, eek!!), and some of the gals seem super bitter!! Being so fresh into marriage, I kinda don't like reading about all that! Like I wanna stay naive for a while or something... I dunno.. it's late and I've been reading random 'scary' posts. So I ran back to my safe junebugs to shudder and bask in everyone's "1 month!!" kinda attitude!

xoxoxo

Re: Some of the other boards....

  • i agree! i don't want anyone's bad marriage vibes getting into my head. safety in numbers, z! :)
  • Agreed! I like my newlywed bubble right now.  A lot of the other boards scare me waay to much to even think about posting.
  • Agreed. I only post on here for now!

  • I agree!  I've looked at a few of the other boards and I'm amazing at some of the things that are discussed.  And even more amazing I've seen a lot of it by people married 7 months or 10 months.  So for now I'll stick around here.
  • I have posted on the Married Life and What's Cooking boards, but the ladies there are pretty cool from what I can tell so far. But that is it for now. I have lurked, and I know what you are talking about. I saw that one post where the H is HIV positive and also bisexual but she is still married to him....that totally freaks me out.

  • Z, you should try the Sports board. So far it's pretty chill but I'll admit it's kind of slow. I think it'll really pick up once college and pro football seasons start.

  • I know what you mean. The only other boards I really go on are the health & fitness and the what's cooking board.

  • I agree with you!! I want to stay in my one month bliss.  Although I do like the fashion/beauty boards for recommendations on products.

    lca - I shall be doing that in the coming weeks!! :-D (ya know it's only weeks now????) Are you into fantasy football at all, btw? C did it last year, and this year is doing 2 leagues and I'm going to join the one! Just curious, my fellow cheesy biatch. xoxo

     

    Missy- ML is one of the 'crazy' boards. Seriously. I was browsing last night and some of the threads were nucking futs. I wouldn't post there for nothin'!!!

  • I totally agree!  I've lurked a few places, the 9to5 board seems okay, but ML and S&R are insane!  I don't ever see H and I having those kinds of problems, is that naive?

    As I have been over on ML more and more, I am starting to see that.

    I've actually never done FF, but would like to at some point. It might be interesting to get a league started with some of the ladies on the board that are up to it.

    Well if we'd do that (cuz I'd be up for that too), we'd have to make sure the people would actually DO IT!! Some people (guys or girls!) that play on free leagues don't really care about it and just leave their team however they picked it at the beginning of the season. You have to actually MANAGE your team and care about it, or it takes away the fun for the others! C just did a free league last year (with mostly guys, 1 wife, 1 sister) and loved it. This year he's doing a super-serious $150-league, and a $20 one (with the same guys from last year) that I'll be doing too. So if we win we'll get all the money. haha :) Like 200-some bucks.

     That'd be awesome if you guys win all the money!

    I can make a post on the Sports board to see if there are any ladies that participate in FF and see if they'd be interested in creating a league and I'll do the same thing here to see if there are any takers.
