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
huh?
I dont get it?

Clarification for you!
They are husband and wife and they both are on Steptalk. Each of them post to this site!
"And this too shall pass..."

That is cool
I don't think we will be hearing from my DH any time soon. He would rather not talk about any issues because it upsets him.
I think he thinks we are about half crazy too because sometimes I laugh at loud at things said and type furiously and he just rolls his eyes!
but doesn't tell me not to at least. He is relieved to know it is relatively anonymous.

William Shakespeare, "Antony and Cleopatra", Act 2 scene 2My 1st thought was uh oh!!!!
Holy crap! is what I thought when I 1st saw this post.
My wife and I were talking about one of my last replies and she was not to happy with my response. And we were talking about it at breakfast. And I thought Oooo noooo she was right I saw my name on this post and I thought I was getting crucified for sure.
Thanks for seeing the positive side of our both being on here.
We love it here, and our topics at home can be anything from LOL to realizing how blessed we are, to Oh crap! we belong on Jerry Springer too...
But it is fun!
I think its great!
I wish my Dh would do it. But then again I haven't mentioned Steptalk to him.. But again I think it's a cool thing. You get both sides of a situation!
The last post your wife wrote about I couldn't wait to get to the end. But I was disappointed because you didn't knock his head off! }:)
Oh well maybe next time!
"And this too shall pass..."
It does have it's advantages..
and I'm glad my DH also has an avenue to get advice on anything that may trouble him as well as maybe seeing another side of me he didn't know (the good side
).
However, it may also have it's disadvantages. I may tend to filter my thoughts much more before they ever make it to text. This may be a good thing or a bad thing. I'm either going to decide the thoughts weren't important enough to say and prevent potentially hurting DH's feelings OR, I'm just going to completely blow some day and all the thoughts I could never get out is going to spew from my mouth directly to DH and I will probably regret it.
Time will tell...
