I first stumbled upon this website when I was having a broken heart from a failed relationship. I didn't want the people around me to sermon on me as I never listened to them but I was desperate for an advise. I'd say, this was the best that I could find when it comes to relationship problems. You know why, because our dear aunts will respond to your post based on their experiences and knowledge. I do agree that experience is the best teacher. You are free to follow their advise or not. And not everyone will give the same formula, the same answers, so imagine how much knowledge you will get.

Ofcourse some will be frank some will be nice, but that's the beauty of it, you get to be responded by people with varying personalities. You will feel there is life in this website.

Anyway, I can honestly say that this site has helped me mature so fast. When I first started here, my view of relationships are shallow, immature and I don't know how to read guys behavior. About sex too, I was so naive. I feel I know only 10% before, now I feel like I know some 60% already about relationships. I like to learn more from reading about people's posts and problems. I do give advise at some posts where I know I can relate to. It may not be the best advise but it's based on experience and based on early posts from since I became a member here. Coz I do make a lot of observations from people who post here over and over, it seems there is a pattern for exes, FWBs or some basic teen age sex questions. These stories are from different people but they are basically similar to each other.

Also, it feels nice to share your views and help people learn from your mistakes. Do not let them learn their mistake, make them learn form yours so they can avoid the mistake as early as possible.

Good luck to all of us.

A.   12 March 2012: No I think it's not because they are taking the cheater's side but it's because they feel that they don't have the right to interfere in the person's relationship and be the first one to destroy it rather than to save it. I know how it feels rea... (read in full...)
