I would just like to add a quick comment. The thread refers to 'married people'. NOT married couples.
This accepted, those who have posted seem to agree, that the thing that concerns them, if anything, about a married person posting on this site, is the specific type of married person, ie the situation they are in which could ultimately impact on the emotional well being of another person they might forma bond with over time, during their online interactions.
I don't think I need to spell out the issues that could arise from someone who is 'separated', and so is still married, even if the two people live separately. This scenario was covered earlier in the thread by a couple of other CS's.
When that 'separated' person still has a significant enough relationship with their wife/husband', essentially some sort of emotional ties may still exist. Certainly resolution has not been achieved by at least one party.
Problems may occur when that 'separated (still very married) CS person relating to another very SINGLE CS. The 'married' CS may perhaps not be treating online relating as 'real' or 'serious', or that real emotions are actually involved. Then these two people meet in RL. I don't have to spell out the potential issues that may occur when these two people meet. It may be only then that the 'separated/married person realises that it is a real person that was actually online. And that real emotions are now to be sorted out, not just for one, but possibly both.
Any other scenario of being separated/married on this site, really matters not, as apart from personal preference/bias, has no measurable impact on anyone's emotional/mental wellbeing.
sxc666: ohhhh boo fuckin hoo. When you get married do you have to throw your friends out the window? and who are you to allocate what hobbies married people should have? What a crock of shit.
It's as simple as this if someone is married, I would assume you say to yourself stay away unless you are a bitch on heat and don't really give a crap and go for married men. There is nothing fuckin wrong with married couples being on here as long as they make it know that is their situation.
I would assume by your post you are eaten up with jealousy about someone actually being happily married.
POST AWAY MARRIED PEOPLE.
The couples in the forums that I know, make it known that they are married and most have met on here. So why would you give that up? it's a beautiful thing that I enjoy sharing with them.
you need to assess your own attitude before casting judgment on others.
