What about Myspace?
My daughters friends who have gone to college want me to get a myspace.
I think I am a little old for this...what do you all think?
Anyone here have one?

12. it's easy to do, you can get a page generator that can make it like you...
want it, i use mine for all my art and theater friends and associates, it is definitely another way to stay in touch but way different from here :thumbsup:

2. well, I'm the last person that should be answering this
I went on MySpace for the first time this last weekend and found pictures of my husband having an affair. I'm sure you can guess what I think of MySpace.

14. thanks to you and the others for your words
I swing between utter despair and anger. Right now I am in an angry mood and it is sooo much better than the despair. When I am angry at least I feel motivated to live my life. Ah, and to make things even better, I saw a good friend of his today and told him the news. My husband is gone for a few months and that's where it started. His friend was floored and disgusted. Ha! Good. I hope he has few friends when he comes back. (I told you, I am feeling very angry and vengeful at the moment!)

20. I hope you are getting the emotional support you need, Qanisqineq
sometimes seeing a professional in this sort of situation can really be of service in getting clear on what the next step for you should be.

I am so sorry you're having to go through this. I wish you Strength and Courage in the days ahead. :hug:

It's in our most challenging and darkest times of life that we are called to remember our own inner LIGHT. Trust that you have the capacity to rise above and grow from what you learn.

May you come through this experience with a greater sense of growth and wisdom. :loveya:

21. Keep the anger, because that's what is called for. He's the one
who should feel the despair. I would despair if I was a sneaky slimy lying hearbreaker.

Wouldn't you? :)

18. lol, I know
but it doesn't make me feel any better about the place! I think I will forever associate MySpace with images of husband and other woman in bed. :banghead:

19. That does suck...
and why someone would post that on myspace, is just further proof of the layers and layers of garbage on the internet

it's truly gumming up the system, but then the system was screwn to start with

sorry friend, I don't mean to sound callous about you situation.

:hug:
