Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

I am not with my BF anymore
I am not with my BF anymore because of the things you described. I just wish these men who have a ton of drama would stay out of the dating pool and focus on taking care of the dysfunction in their lives before bringing someone else into their drama. If a man's life isn't ready for a relationship then the man isn't ready for a relationship...
I couldn't agree more.

I'm pretty sure men don't
I'm pretty sure men don't know how to take care of their own lives. They need a woman to do it for them. I look back now and see my husband could not have handled his ex without a coach (me). It's sad.
Yeah, my exH was living with
Yeah, my exH was living with a woman, now his wife, before the divorce was final. He told me he couldn't be alone!
AGREED. I have this thought
AGREED. I have this thought every day.
Amen!
Amen!
We all like cuddling up with
We all like cuddling up with someone/having sex/having someone have our back/someone to share our lives with but the bullshit that comes with these men overshadows these things. I miss having a man in my life but I am a hell of a lot happier alone without someone else's drama interfering in my otherwise calm life. It shouldn't be a choice between being alone and being completely stressed the F out by a man's ex wife, mother, kids, past, etc. If it is, I prefer to be alone. The good thing about being a woman is that at least we can get our physical needs met whenever we need to, lol. I'd rather do that than struggle along in dysfunction I had no hand in creating or no chance of fixing...
Btw, I am waiting for a man without the drama that can share a future with me and if one doesn't show up, I am prepared for that. Wanting a man is different than NEEDING a man...
I'm right there with ya,
I'm right there with ya, sista!
