Have you told your SO about LFAD?

My girlfriend and I met on a forum where we discuss our personal problems all the time. She showed me this forum, even though I was the first to sign up and post. We think it's great to have a space like this dedicated to Long Distance Relationships.

We're trying to be as smart as possible. We've already decided that the day we close the gap is also the day we make our first counseling appointment. We want to get started on the right foot and get it right. We've both been divorced and don't want to go through that again.

Chris does know and he's fine with it. lol
And yea sometimes I wish he was on here as well but than again I guess I couldnt ask people for advice really when I need to vent and stuff cause he could read it >_>

[mynameiseric]

well Amanda and I are both on here....and we both love it definitely helps us with any of our problems or just any questions we have because we're still fairly new to this

They thought it was great, cause before we became LD I had no hope for LDR's and this site definately gave me hope.
I would hate for ehr to see what I vent about on here, and I think this site helps our relationship because I can be honest and vent to others instead of taking it out and saying things I might not mean so yes this site has helped!

Scott mentioned today that he's been on the site in the last few days and has read through lots of threads and articles... and my posts lol! I had to stop and think if I've said anything overly personal- but no, there's nothing that I have said or could say here that I'd mind him seeing. And if I ever had any issues or concerns about us, he would be the first to know about them anyway so it wouldn't matter if he read them here.
I don't know that this forum is really his thing- but sure, I think it would be cool if he dropped by now and then

Surprise!

How did they react? Is it ok with them that you share and discuss your problems on a forum?

What he doesn't know won't kill him, really. I'm not sure he'd be cool with a place like this, but I do keep things like his name confidential out of respect. Though I'm sure he wouldn't mind knowing I gush more than I bitch about him.

Are you afraid your SO might see what you've written about her/him?

Pretty much. I'm scared to say much wherever we're signed up together and I kinda need my little space that he doesn't know where I am.

Has LFAD helped you with your relationship issues?

Totally. If it wasn't for this forum I'd have probably ruined the best thing life's ever given me months ago due to the bad influence of a so-called friend. This place Army boot-kicks sense into me.
