When I started on this site in 2000 I was about to be divorced. I was living alone and single. This was a great site to come and meet people and talk about situations in life. Well I ended up staying married but continued with the site. And yes my husband knew about it. Then last year my computer went out and I just recently bought a new one and of course came here to see what had happend with the site. Well it still interests me and the people seem great on here.
I'm wondering if any of the single people on here get offended by someone like me wanting to talk on here or if we married folk are just as welcome as singles?
I did notice the title of the site is now Matchdoctor free community for singles and FRIENDS. So does that mean me? I wouldn't want to waste mine or anyone else's time.

I'm single and it doesn't bother me if there are married people here, or those who live common-law, or have boyfriends/girlfriends.... actually, they are a GREAT addition to blogs when us single people need advice on relationships! So stick around, we cherish the happy people

It's ALWAYS been called "community for singles and FRIENDS"...that's why so many friends are still here (married or not)
There will be a few who whine about "married people on a dating site"  -- they just don't "get it" -- married DOESN'T mean you're looking to screw around! And "married" does NOT mean you're dead or unable to think and speak for yourself or ONLY speak to lady-friends, nor should it mean that you're supposed to lock yourself away in the kitchen or vege in front of the TV like a good little spousie 
Welcome home, PP
(and glad to hear things worked out eventually  )

Its great to hear you and your husband decided to work it out its not that often you hear that. I'm married but been seprated for almost 1year and a half. I don't think people get offended. Its a good way to meet friends and its cheaper than a councelor.

Your always welcome here. I know of several couples here, who still come in to chat with all the friends they made while single. Its nice to know there's always that chance to find someone.

I think as long as people are up-front with one another then a person can make an informed decision.

Hi there, purplepassion!
In my opinion, everyone is welcome. A lot of us have made friends on this site and even actually met in person and this is the place we come to talk.
I see no problem with you coming in to talk to your friends.

There's a lot of people here for the 'Friends' part of MatchDoctor and it's great to see. It's a terrific community, less a few unpleasant people (but you get them in real life also), the forums are great and the blogs can be awesome (or some are awful  ). Hope you find yourself enjoying it as much as ever

my guess is the men don't mind, or really even get a full vote around here. some of the women could care less, and some, well, you know, some just want it their way.

I'm spoken for as well and have many friends on here...my man and I are both on here...OF COURSE you should stay. You can never have too many friends and if someone doesn't like it, too bad!

No I don't see anything wrong with it as long as the person's spouse knows and they are not here playing games. Like you said, there are great people on here and the chat is good as well.....well some of it. LOL

Who should give a crap.
Nevermind what other people think. Many people who are already in a relationship are here for other reasons. And yes, it is a community for friends as well.

Join right in! The site does say for singles and FRIENDS! And I believe there are a lot of FRIENDS here that are in some kind of relationship and continue on the site for reasons other than meeting someone. I don't see why anyone should have a problem with it!

Certainly nothing wrong with you being here for the social contact with others. It is those who are married and try to hide the fact that I think upsets some of those here. Welcome and hope you enjoy your time here.

My opinion is..
you have stated,
that you are married..
and not looking..except for friends..
I do not see a problem with it..
it is a free site.. even the married and looking
are free to do so (not that I agree with that.. but it is their choice)
most of us on here have several friends..
there are a lot of good people on this site!!
WELCOME BACK..

I do not think MD as a organization really concerns themselves with the marital status of their members. Although classified as a dating site those who are married act as free advertisers for MD and that is to their advantage. Besides they do not perform background checks, they leave that up to you.

"WORRY"? Don't ya' know you will get wrinkles from worry! Never worry about what others think or say. Always remember the good things.......let the bad things go like the water rushing under a bridge! Enjoy friends!!
Good friends are always the "light" of your life!! So,.......enjoy!
just a thought!

This is a great site for people looking for a match, or like me, just looking for friends. I don't think it's ever a waste of time to seek out friendship! Kudos to you!

How could anyone be offended, you stated that you made the choice of staying married, Now if you go and lead men on, then you would be wrong. Many people on here are friends only.

I am a married member as well and my story is very similar to yours. I have run into some really rude people and gotten really mean emails from them.  But, there have been enough GREAT people on here that don't mind I am married that those few other people don't bother me. At least we're honest on our profile.  A lot of people just put divorced or single....

There are always going to be people who complain about the married members on this site, but what you do on the computer is your business alone. You shouldn't worry about what other people think.

WOW! See this is exactly why I love Matchdoctor so much. The people are just great. I just figured I wouldn't waste my time if all I was getting is negative feedback from people who wouldn't even chat with me. I see that is not a problem now and Matchdoctor is better than ever. Thanks so much for the support and all the comments. IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK.

Hi Purple and others,
Why would you even consider that a married lady or anyone, would offend someone by posting a comment? Most of us on here are pretty civil and don't post with the intention of offending anyone. There are exceptions to every rule though. - But I digress!
The point is if your postings offend someone because you're married, Honey, it's THEIR problem - not yours! There are a multitude of those who seem to be looking for something to be offended by. PISS ON 'EM! Don't take ownership of THEIR problem. It's theirs - let them keep it!
Just because you got married, stayed married or have four spouses, doesn't mean you went stupid. You still have ideas, experiences and advise worthy of being heard. Besides, where is it written that a married person can't have a single friend?
Stick around - we all may learn from each other.
JFD

I don't think you need to cut a friendship if you've decided to commit to your marriage. I think anyone who has been your friend here on this site will want to continue hearing from you--as for me I've only been here a very short time, only a couple of months and I'll be here for a while, so welcome back!
Hugs!
