Oregon is beautiful ever thing is deep green we get a lot of rain.The sun is shining to day which is unusual The mountains here are beautiful after 15 years with my man he told me this week that our life styles are different and ask me to leave kinda in a daze right now .But I'm strong and will get through this.

Hi my name is grace i live in Maine usa I would like to chat with you i am a female looking to make friends.

Hey I'm there with you on being in a daze. My husband of 15 years has also said things have changed. He wants a marriage in name only. He wants to be friends that is a laugh. That is one of the things that lead me to this site trying to find new people whom I could get to know as myself.If you ever need to talk I am here.

anne it hurts . But for me I'm trying real hard to find a postive side to all this I think that I've actually lived his life and now it's time to love me and live my life not that it will be easy and I'm really scared I don't think me staying with him is a option and my mine is so up and down right now it's hard to make decisions so just being in the moment is all I can do at this time

Hey, rozz52! Welcome to TBD. Please don't feel intimidated. There are a lot of us "over 40" people that were first timers to the discussion group mele.
It's often best to read a number of the posts before "reacting" or "responding" to the discussion. This way you get a sense for what has been asked & answered already, group dynamics, etc. But, if you don't have the time for that, just dive right in!!
We have many personalities from all over the USA, Canada, Great Brittain, & other countries, so be aware that different cultures, etc. word things differently & may not be posting what they really mean. We're all a great group, and I think you'll enjoy being here.
We use a number of acronyms, but you can easily find a list of common internet language if you Google.
One of them would be:

Let us know if you need any assistance. We'll try to get to you ASAP.
My Best,

Hi Rozz52
Wow, what a shock after 15 years, did you feel that anything was wrong, or was this a complete shock? I am interested!
By the way, nice to know you, I am Sheila, from WV, married, grown children, tons of dogs, I foster little old dogs that need homes, I work as a caregiver a couple of evenings a week, otherwise I am here. I'm listening.

A total shock I mean we had our ups and downs but I ceartainly thought we would always be together.I'm a strong person and this has hit me hard. I'm doing o.k now.Have you heard of the book " A NEW EARTH" It has helped me so much.As I look back I can see some signs that I should have caught Thanks for your time I have never been on a networking site and this has helped me get my mind thinking in a healthly way I would email but Im not sure how

Hi rozz~
I am also from Oregon the Eastern side! Hey neighbor! This site to me is awesome and so much to do here. Join in discussions, email add friends and such. I love meeting new friends on here and such a pleasure to get that first friend invite, as it will make you feel part of the whole thing! I also get lonely as I really don't go out much here in Oregon and know a few people but no one to go have coffee with or talk to on the phone and things. I miss that as most of my friends are back East... I got involved with just checking out the members profiles, take the leap and write to someone you pick out that intrests you... and join some of the discussion that you find intresting... have a great time.

A great big hello to you rozz. Glad you came aboard. This community of bloggers is by far the best I have been on yet. I jumped on this train only 2 months ago, and have answered many a question. Everyone is pleasant enough, and most have good insight to other's inquiries. So happy to meet you and glad you joined us.
Posted: May 13, 08 8:23am
I am also new here. Found the site by an advertisement - and decided I'd try it. I am a loner for the most part. I would like to meet new people and become friends - just not sure where to start. Any hints??

Hi, JTunes! Welcome to TBD!! I see you've already filled out your profile, so now it's time for you to get into some good discussion groups. There are good suggestions in this discussion (called a thread) alone, so start here, for one thing.
We have groups on relationships, dating & marriage, so you might find, since you are currently in a relationship, that you have advise for someone else.
I noticed that you joined the "Back to College" group today, so that is an excellent start. And, congratulations & best wishes on your educational pursuits!!
We also have groups on writing, travel, hobbies, activities . . . you might even find one on bowling, or start one!! The sky's the limit here!!
Let us know if you need more help & direction.
My Best,
Judi
