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
You shouldn't. I'm not saying
You shouldn't.
I'm not saying you should not trust his fidelity - you shouldn't trust his JUDGEMENT. Obviously, if he hadn't learned the "sometimes a relationship is just BROKEN" lesson badly enough that he married not one, but TWO women twice - he's a slow learner, and he will let both of those BMs (and their 'darling' spawn) walk all over him.
Run now, while you still can.
He treats me like a queen.
He treats me like a queen. Even when I throw awful hideous hissy fits about his ex-skanks. We are almost 60 so this is not something that took place in a few years. These marriages were years ago.
But I still want to SCREAM at the top of my lungs at times. I have a history of being treated like crap by men in my lives. My fiance of 4 years (begged me to marry him each year) married someone else a few weeks before our wedding. And there is more just as bad if not worse.
I know that I have deep insecurities. No one has ever wanted to marry me. I will be 60 in a few months. How pitiful is that? I am pretty, smart and have a zillion friends so I am not an awful person. People really like me. But I am just unloveable by a man. I know I am pathetic.
FWIW I still love some former
FWIW I still love some former boyfriends (never been married) for various reasons. I suppose I define it as still caring about what happens to them, and would feel a loss if they were gone from my life (I have kept in touch with most). Personally I just don't lose those feelings completely, except in cases where I was treated poorly.
Doesn't mean I have ANY desire to get back with ANY of them!
