Sorry, I'm not getting this click on a quote thing. I did, and it posted without me writing anything. I'm not familiar with message boards.

Hi y'all. This feels a bit like going into a new bar. You know lots of the people there but you are not quite sure where everything is... Where everybody knows your name....

I made it!
Thank you for recreating our EP ILIASM community here.
ETA: I found EP in December 2012 after that popular Google search, "how do I fix my sexless marriage?"
I dragged my feet on doing anything about the SM, for a few reasons: 1. The lovely affair; it redirected my focus and I could tolerate-ish the marriage. Sort of. 2. Finances. We have debt and I was pretty sure that if I left, I'd be living in a cardboard box under a bridge. 3. Fear of the backlash from certain family members (my mom, primarily, but also the in laws). This is a non-issue for me now. It will be what it will be (Roommate hasn't told anybody, not a single person, that I plan to leave. And I'll tell my mom when I feel like it; she lives far away for it to not be necessary.)
Last July 2015 I told The Roommate that I don't want to be married to him. I had a half-baked plan, that was not as solid as I expected once I tried to implement it. So now I'm looking for work (primarily a SAHM for past 9 years, although I have done some work from home). Once job is secured, and a couple months salary can be used to pay off some of the debt, I will secure a rental and begin the process with a separation agreement in hand.
Excited for the future! And prepared for the challenges of the transition; I'm told the first 2 years are the hardest.

Sorry, I'm not getting this click on a quote thing. I did, and it posted without me writing anything. I'm not familiar with message boards.  Once you hit the "quote" button, a text box appears with the quote in it. The cursor to type should be at the end of the quote. I hit "enter" a couple of times and start typing my message (like here). At least that is how it works when I'm on my cell phone, not sure if desktop version is different. Hope this helps!

Where everybody knows your name.... That'd make a catchy tune! Cheers, ;-) DC

Hi, guys! I made it! Thanks for the invite! I couldn't lose y'all! I found this forum in June 2013 when I was trying to sort out my own hellish marriage. This group has been a life saver for me!

Thank doG it's just a virtual bar or I'd soon be moved in permanently and a raging alcoholic (although I guess I can still aspire to be a raging alcoholic in the virtual bar, last I checked there is a year's supply of vodka in the freezer and mixers in the pantry)

Thank you for explaining this fully. I've hardly used message boards, and not one where you reply this way. Hopefully this will post now. Thanks again.

I relate (I guess that's a good name for the other site). Big hugs, dear. It's heartbreaking for us all.  ?
