It occurs to me that there is a lot of traffic on this forum from people who are seeking relationships which kinda crowd out the people who are already IN relationships.

Doesn't it seem there is room for a Dating Forum as well as a Relationships Forum?

A Dating forum could address issues of attraction (such as skinny arms or unemployment) and etiquette (like texting and how to approach strangers)

That would leave Relationships for discussions like "My SO did ____________ and I don't know what to do about it." or perhaps "We've been dating a few months but I still don't know what it means when my SO___________"

This has been said here before. Most of the married people agreed, I think. I think you need to address this directly to the moderators by private message or something.

I don't mind either way.

I doubt it will happen. They're strapped for mods as it is. I did suggest a marriage/LTR subforum at one point because I got sick to death of people who have never even gotten past the third date with someone vomiting up all manner of "advice" to married people and turning every marriage-related thread into a pulpit for screeching about alimony and how evil marriage is, but nothing happened.

Personally, I'm fine with it as it is. I think the same people would visit all the forums even if it was split, so the "advice" given wouldn't likely change. And it's useful, IMHO, to have all stages of relationships in one place, from pursuing one to being in a long term one.

My two cents.

So alimony and child support aren't real?
