Do members of GUE think we should have a closed forum for the spouses (wives) of the addicts? Second, should we have a seperate area for just married men to discuss what they are going through? I'd like to know what everyone's opinion is on this.

I know my wife would join up for the spouses section. I am sure many other spouses, if they know there husbands are on here, if they wanted to support them, they would at least try it or look at it some.

i for one know my wife could use some chizuk in this area . she has bouts where she feels insecure and unloved sometimes (i work on it a lot privately but i think its still not enuf ). she gets worried some lady on the bus is seducing me . a little paranoid . i know she would gain from hearing peopple that are dealing with it and OK with it and able to trust thier husbans that are seriuos in recovery (like me ;D).

About the thread for spouses, i think this is a good idea as well, although as of now i dont really have any use of it. But i may in the future.

im very up for the live chat. But im even more for the Forum just for married men. i think it would be every helpful for us marrieds guys.
I dont understand whats so hard Reb gaurd, the same way the womens forum just "disappeared" make a disappearing one for married men?
