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

Just don't do what I did....
I fell in love with guy I had the affair with
Well, my ex and I had sorta split for a couple months, but were attending counseling to see where things went. He was a royal jack ass and cheated on me endlessly. So I had decided that a divorce was what I wanted. Then was supposed to have a fling with this guy who is now my husband. Hehehe.
Sorry that you are having such a bad time. What did he do to make you post this? I am a big fan of divorce because it was the best thing I ever did, but that doesn't mean it is for you. Consider your options very closely. Give us some more info so we can give better advice. In the meantime, take a deep breath and relax. And if you do decide to cheat, think about the guilt that comes with it (so if you do go that route, make sure it is with one helluva sexy guy who rocks your world!)
its such a long story....
but the shortest version I can come up with is at the end of the day it's all about him and what he wants and his needs and helping him, and when he doesn't get his way watch out. And he is all over committment and family and marriage unless it means he has to pull his fair share of the load. At the end of the day he does want he wants independent of my opinions, wants and desires. For example, we have had a magnitude of problems with the girls during their visits with their mom and them constantly wanting to come home or needing rides place cause she won't take them. We talked to a counselor and agreed that when they are at their mom's its a black out and we don't interfere, he committed to this and yet breaks it every time his oldest daughter calls cause he can't stand her being sad, so this weekend they were supposed to be with their mom and guess what he already went and got his daughter again last night. So he word is worthless.
OH HON!
