Comment on E-Harmony Really Does Suck: Worst web site of the year by Time Magazine by BAD~

Aweful site. It was so slow, they few matches i did have took seriously 5 minutes just to load…and it wasnt my computer. Had the creepiest people sent to me and lots of out of state matches. The main page of my account is very hard to navigate, and before you can get rid of a match you dont like, you have to give reasons why and select all this crap to get them out of your list. I just cant believe how slow the site is. I gave up. What a waste of money.

Did Alaina really say, “apparently, I am responsible for quite a few marriages, engagements, love…”…? If that doesn’t speak to her ego run amuck, I don’t know what does. Way to go, Alaina. At some point, your ego is going to crash and burn.

I will give you this, though: you are an excellent writer and marketer. And I’m sure you are an incredible mother. It’s really unfortunate that some people have stooped so low to include your son in any negativity. Keep doing what you do well, and keep being the mom you say you are.

The fact that you are a disingenuous, fake – and not a very nice person in the eyes of a lot of people who have come to know you well over the past few years shouldn’t take away from what you do best. I’ll give you credit for that.

Sad…. sad to see that you no longer will be here, but happy to know that your journey, to you, feels complete. I think all single mothers have that same goal.
It is true though, for me it was a life line. I have no one in my life that can relate and to have you, this site and your readers, it makes me feel like I’m not soooo alone!.
But in the end you have to do what is right for you. Though we will all miss sharing with you our journey! Good luck in everything! hope B knows he has a great mama!

I’m glad that you’re moving to another stage; if you’ve outgrown this blog, so be it and best wishes for the next one.

I do think there’s something fundamental about this one that you might have overlooked, though: this blog, like most others, not only serves its primary purpose (to disseminate wisdom or knowledge on a particular topic) but serves as a Rorschach test for its readers. The patterns we see in your life as you tell it reflect our own experiences; our responses tell you more about us than they do about you. And your comment section paints a picture of a pretty fascinating world. Many people will sign in just to send along random kind thoughts. A lot of people have been hurt, some in truly devastating ways. Many are achingly lonely, and some have experienced grievous loss. But, crucially, very very few have abandoned hope. And the number who sign in just to be anonymously hurtful is actually relatively small.

I realize it’s difficult to discount that last group, especially when safety is an issue. But I’d offer, as something to consider over the course of the next year, the thought that the snapshot of the world that you’ve captured here might actually not be such a bad thing, on the whole, to pass along to your son.

Comment on Should I leave my husband? by Chantel Buffalo

Chantel Buffalo — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:25:40 +0000

Hello. My name is Chantel. I am 25, a mother of four awesome children and I have been married for almost 3 years. Me and my husband have been together for nearly 11 years. But as of this day, I don’t know if I want to be with him anymore. He has hurt me in many ways that I feel I just ignore the fact he is even doing it. As recently as 2 months ago, I have had to call the police on him because he beat me up while he was drunk. Charges were layed. 2 weeks after the incident, he said he would quit drinking and he wanted to make things right between us, because he didn’t want to lose his family to drinking. Like the fool i am, i said ok, i wanted him to get well because i didn’t want our family to fall apart. For a while, things seem to go well. But it’s almost like he isn’t making an effort to change. Yes he is not drinking, but his attitude and verbal abuse remain the same. Everyday, morning to night, he asks me ridiculous questions like ” who did you have sex with” or ” are you having sex with your bosses at work” or ” who did you have sex with last year” or ” who did you have sex with 5 years ago” etc….. it just never ends. I always tell him everyday I’m not, because as a mother and wife I feel infedelity will only make you lose your dignity and change your family forever, which is why I never cheat. Yet he doesn’t believe me one bit. I have to put up with this bs everyday of my life and i just want to know when is it enough to just leave? I am depressed, I feel alone, I have no one to talk to because he doesn’t want me to see my friends. I don’t know what to do anymore. The only way out of this misery is if I just end my life, but I can’t because I love my kids too much.

Your blog has meant so much to so many. I am sad that negativity in the world has affected your family . You and Benjamin are a great superhero team and I enjoyed working with you. I wish you the best and many years joy and happiness.

I left a comment before but I don’t see it on here. I just wanted to wish you, Benjamin and John the best of luck. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog. I think we both went through our divorces around the same time and I appreciated your honesty and encouragement. Hope to see you around town!

Oh no.
I’m so sorry this happened… I’m not surprised – people like that are as common as dandelions on the web… but I am sad that you won’t be here.

Thank you for all you’ve contributed and all you’ve grown – and we’ve grown with you. Take care of yourself and your family, and let me know if you ever find a new “home”. -K
