Good and Bad in Relationships

Hi Jordana:

Thanks for writing.

I agree fundamentally with what you say. I think those who are married and are on here need to (1) assess whether or not their relationship could have been a scam and (2) if not do what they can to make things work.

It's good that you personally clarify your marriage should not be a poster child as I think it's more relatable. It also helps when women who are married on here (Luhx does a great job of this) is to be honest about what is going on. No marriage is ever going to be perfect, and it's annoying when someone tries to sell it as such and frankly, it isn't very believable. But the other side of the coin is when women come on here and say that the risk assessment for international, on-line dating or meeting a man 20 years her junior on vacation in another country is the same as dating the guy down the street you went to school with.
