Marriage on the rocks
Our relationship flat out sucks right now. I dont want any advice nor to get into details but I think they should have a relationship problems board on here, unless they do and I have not seen it.

Yep, it's called Trouble in Paradise.
sorry you're going through that hun... Hope it gets better.
There's a TIP board on the nest but I don't really know what the vibe is over there.
BFP#1 on 02/14/09 BIRTH to Mason 6lb9oz on 10/12/09
BFP#2 on 5/28/11 EDD 2/1/12 Natural M/C on 6/13/11
BFP#3 on 1/20/12 EDD 9/30/12 Natural m/c on 1/27/12
BFP#4 on 4/23/12 BIRTH to Isabella 7lb1oz on 12/19/12
So I have to put my two cents in because DH and I are having a rocky time right now as well. I refuse to go to the TIP board because I can't see how talking to a bunch of other women who are fed up with SOs would help me. I feel like it would just make me see more issues with my marriage, you know, someone says, OH, I hate it when DH... and you think, oh yeah, I never thought of that but my DH does that too and it is annoying!
I guess I just wanted to share my feelings about a board like that because if I were you I would avoid it. I don't need a website board causing more issues in my marriage, I have enough to deal with already... IMO.
Back in the day when I had the lamest job ever and did nothing but lurk on the nest all day, I read that board sometimes. From what I remember, they don't just sit around and gripe about their husbands or anything like that. They give good advice - but they can be blunt. If you want to post there, be prepared for very honest replies.
GL, I hope that things get better for you guys!
Yes! I was and sometimes am a regular on TIP prior to getting PG. I think that board is excellent. My personality tends to be on the blunt side. I don't like to sugarcoat things and I don't like it when people do the same to me. I want to know what's wrong, what responsibility I have in it, and what I can do. The TIP ladies do that for you. They're not a bunch of miserable women with horrible marriages. Don't judge or stereotype, folks. Most of them are in great marriages or were in bad ones, got out of it and learned from it. They're on there to help out others who may need advice. But like pp said, they are blunt. They don't like to blow rainbows up your azz so be prepared for responses that you may find harsh or not ready to hear. If you get past some of the snarky folks and listen to their advice you might get a lot of help there. GL.
GL to you!!!
I've also read Babyproofing your Marriage. It's a great book.
