what's up with that? people who have been married for years still using the site... i could maybe see up to like a year or 2 but the nest is attached to the site. why not just use that... i'm just curious why do you stay on it?

I read and post here because both my DD and DS are engaged. I read here to get information, I post here because sometimes I think I have something worthwhile to offer but also because it keeps me from driving both DD and her FI and DS and his FI crazy...... I take it out on everyone here instead of them.  I figure if I post something someone doesn't like they just won't read it and that's ok.

Ahh thanks Happy!

OP- If you don't want to hear other peoples opinions...don't post.

I made friends on here when I was engaged and then as my wedding date grew close, I started to talk to people who were newly engaged and so on.

And there are also moms on this site too.  Should they go away?  I don't think so.

It was great to get wedding advice from people who had been there and done that.

I learned that MANY of the things that my peers did or thought were incorrect by coming here.

I'm not bothered by it. I'm simply curious why people stayed.

OK, perhaps "bothered" is the wrong word.

Based on your statement though:

It seems that you think married people SHOULDN'T be posting on TK.

I recommend it.  The married ladies had done a TON.

<div>The answer to that is obvious.. Perhaps OP is trolling?</div>

I'm one of the old married hags here.  Probably married more than most at 31+ years.  In the past three years I've been MOG and MOB.  It helped me to know what wedding trends were for my kids' weddings.

And as others have said, I've made "cyber-connections" here and I enjoy hearing from people that I've been on the boards with for a couple of years now.

I also think that I am in a position to give advice from a very different perspective than many.  I've been married a long time.  I know what's important in a marriage.  I know that the things that brides obsess over will probably become a "What was I thinking?" three days after the wedding.  If I can help them avoid that moment, I'm glad to help.

Think of it this way:  When you're pregnant with your first baby....who do you want to hear about childbirth and infancy from:  someone who's been through it, or another girl who's 3 months pregnant?

I like the fact that people stay after they get married. They all give very good advice, and tell it like it is. If you dont like it, you dont have to be here.
