Who is married yet hangs out a good deal in the singles forum. And if here do you hang out with singles in your Church or day to day life?
And why if yes to one or all?

I'm getting married in August to a guy I actually met here on the single's forum.
I remember all to well how much I hated it when marrieds or almost marrieds came in to give "advice." I come in to say hello to people who are now good friends, but I won't be a regular anymore.

Would that make you irregular? You can take something for that now you know?

But I'm sure you would if you did, Tricia!
A friend of mine was single for a very long time. One of her friends suddenly dropped out of her life when she got married. A month or so after her wedding, she announced that she and her DH were going out with this friend and her DH. So I said, "So now that you're married, you're suddenly good enough to hang out with?"
Moral of the story: Just because you're married, it does not mean that your single friend feels like a "third wheel." If you were good enough to hang out with BEFORE the wedding, you should be good enough to hang out with AFTER.
(In Tricia's case, not only did she marry, but she also relocated ... so that would change a lot of dynamics in her case!)

Define "hanging out."
Am not saying they cannot or should not be here. Just wanted to know who is married yet hangs out, visits, passes through, partcipates, throws darts at the screen when it is on the singles forum, you name it.
Just an innocent question as to who and why.
And at the same time wondering about the singles in their life off line.

When I get married I most likely will post here to say hey to old friends or chime in every once in awhile to threads that could benefit from my posts.

Life is what you do when you are not posting in forums.

I don't necessarily see anything wrong with it . . . but maybe if I were married, I'd be a little curious if my hubby were "hanging out" in the singles forums.

I think this is a valid question. A few of you have responded that you met your (future) mate here. It could be difficult for someone who is looking and / or hoping for that to occur in their own life as a result of this forum. To have to sift through who is single and who is not could be time consuming to click on everyone's profile, and even then that information might or might not be public.
Now, the OP is entirely different than the question, Should marrieds be allowed to post here?

People do meet and marry from here, yes. But that is not the purpose of this Singles forum; in fact, it's against TOS to use this forum for that expressed purpose. That being the case, why would someone need to sift through people's profiles to determine their marital status?
Man, I really want to elaborate, but to do so would definitely take this thread off-topic
 . . . So I started a thread for that.
As to this specific OP, I'm not married.

Exactly ... and one of the happiest marriages I know of consisted of an introduction by a third party, who fixed these two up on the forums.

One reason to check if someone is married, is so you know how to respond to them appropriately. We should and do speak to marrieds differently. I would never want something I said misconstrued. I would not flirt online anyway, but I would not have light hearted banter with a married man; this would be inappropriate.
That said, I am glad the marrieds come into the singles threads. If they feel they have something worthwhile to add, this is the only place on the forum that they know their audience is mostly single.
I may not be the person to ask on the subject though since I still feel more like a married person than a single one.
