Hi Everyone,

I was here as Daphney several years ago. As a single/divorced mom, I had a relationship with a married man that lasted 5 years. 3 years of seeing him/communicating regularly. 2 additional years with communication as more texts, phone calls, and maybe seeing him 2-3 times over a 2 year period. He was also a member of this forum for a brief time. His user name was Roscoe. He found the forum informative but I think it also overwhelmed him. So he didn't stay long. But this forum was indispensable to me during that time.

The relationship with Roscoe ended somewhat naturally when I began dating someone else...we'll call him Ned.  I'll get into more details of the new relationship in future threads.

Anyway, Ned and I are now in a committed relationship. But it was a complex process.


Looking forward to reconnecting some familiar members.

Hi Daphney! I think it used to be spelled Daphnay, no? My phone remembers how to spelled it, once it got used to it. Smile

Was Ned also a MM?

Looking forward to hearing your updates. Thought of you often over the years. Heart
No regrets

Hi Harlow! Yes...I think I did spell it Daphnay. I've thought of you and some others over the years. Looking forward to catching up on everyone's stories!

Yes...Ned was also a MM. It's a long and complicated story. He was not married when we first met and starting dating about 6 years ago. But then he disappeared for a while. And when he reappeared he had a wife and marriage that was falling apart. Long story, short.

Good to see you again, Daphney.
It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply.

Hi Juliet! I remember yours, too!

I was reminded that  I called "Ned" , "Mr. Big" a few years back. So we're going back to the original name. Mr. Big works for him. Cool

Welcome back, Daphney. If I remember correctly you have two children, I hope they are doing well. They must be grown by now.
Always love yourself more.  Heart

I'm so sorry! No words, other than I'm here for you. Take care you. If not, who else is going to?

Hi, I think you left before I joined.   I suppose if you are on this board your committed R is with a man who has some unfinished loose ends to resolve?

Anyway nice to meet you. Are you no longer in communication with Roscoe?

HIi Daphney..I remember you and Roscoe, I was new to TS during that time. I followed your posts and I was wide eyed when you were calling it quits. I've thought of you often and here you are ! It's good to hear from you.

If I remember correctly it was you,Harlow, Juliet that were avid posters when I joined. Good seeing you!
