The Knot Post Secret

I don't know how many of you look at other boards, but this was started on the Etiquette board about a week ago and has been trickling to other boards (sorry if I missed it and this is a re-post). 

If anyone is not familiar with the original Post Secret: http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

This is a version of it just on The Knot started by a regular poster on the Etiquette Board. The link is in my siggy if anyone wants to read the blog or even post in the blog!

I go back and forth on it- from repulsion to fascination! Some of them are disturbing, sad, and really really sad. But I admit I keep going back to look at the new posts. 
You have to assume some are fake and/or exaggerated, but even so- what's up with all of the cheating??? if you're in love with someone else dont get married! sheesh!

Yeah, I know, it's addicting...but so sad at times. I REALLY don't understand cheating. If you don't want to be in a monogamous relationship, then don't. No one forces a person to get married, and no one forces a person to STAY married. If you don't want to be monogamous, then don't be in a monogamous relationship! How hard is that, really?

yuck.  another rip off of spying into people's lives.  PostSecret used to be really good.  But now it just feels like a competition for who has the worst life or who's been burned the most by a "friend" or "partner."

I agree with Muffers-  why would you want to read about everyone who's cheated on their spouses? that's not quite the wedding spirit I want to be part of.

At the same time, it has actually helped a few people already...there was a girl struggling with severe depression, posted her secret, then had the courage to do something about it and posted on the Etiquette board and now the folks there are helping her get help.

Also, some of the secrets are positive, and they make me smile.
