NOTE ON HUMOR: Many people in this situation find humor to be a good resource in dealing with the emotional trauma of an affair. Feel free to post jokes, funny stories, etc., but please remember to be careful about the content of the joke. For example, if you post a joke about affairs, a person who is new to affair recovery may be emotionally “triggered” by the joke.

Because of the nature of the topic of affairs, emotions can and will run high. Please remember that we are all here for the same reason. We are here to share and learn from each other on our own individual path to recovering from an affair, whether betrayed or betrayer. Try to be responsible with your posting, keeping in mind that although we are all here because of an affair, situations and experiences will differ in many ways. We ask that all members contribute as much as possible to a welcoming, supporting, non-judgmental environment. To that end, we believe it is crucial each member be afforded as much freedom of expression as possible, within reasonable limits.

None of the members, moderators or owners on this site is a professional therapist. Our hope is that through shared experiences, we can all help each other to get through the trauma of affairs. If you are suffering from possible mental health (depression, bipolar disorder, etc.), addiction (alcohol, drugs, etc.) or criminal issues (physical abuse, criminal behavior, etc.), please do not be offended if we strongly urge you to contact a professional counselor or law enforcement official as soon as possible. We care about everyone’s healing, but there are limits to what non-professionals can deal with.
