I know this has come up a few times, but it's time to bring it up again. 

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.

This is especially true. Because discussing marital topics can have a very negative effect on the singles of the board.
Confusion and triggerism for example...

I think both are extremely important.  Married guys would be able to talk more openly I feel.

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).

I think the separete forum is a great idea. I expressed my opinion on this matter somewhere in Eyes thread.

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.

While we're at it, what about a closed forum for married women GYE members and a support group for their husbands?

Guard will get to it all I guess.  Like he said Baby steps I guess.  we just need to keep reminding him sometimes on what we think would help people most on the website.

I've just messaged Guard about setting up a GYE chat room for people to talk in real-time and have set 12-step meetings.

What do you guys think?
