I am going through a very rough time with my husband. I would like to know if anyone has any recommendation for a website for online support for those of us contemplating divorce or just need a place to vent or talk?
I prefer it to be non religious, and not a dating website obviously.
Thank you!

There is a movie out called, "Fireproof" with Kirk Cameron. It's a bit of a slow movie, but as my husband and I watched it, it gave tremendous amount of helpful information that can 'feed' a marriage and rebuild what has been destroyed.
I encourage you to watch this. Kirk's character goes through a very rough patch with his wife, and is considering divorce. His father gives him a book that has things to do each day for his wife that he encourages his son to do diligently. Kirk is skeptical, and he easily gives up after a few tries. His father tells him not to give up and to keep following what the book suggests.
What Kirk does from the book, actually helps him recover his marriage and is able to find that love that was lost between him and his wife.
This movie can help so many people if they give it a try.
Marriage is such a challenge and it can get discouraging and often we think of giving up because we think there isn't anything else we can try to help salvage it. But there is.
I agree with the one mom who encourages you 'not' to go to one of those groups that share this negative energy about marriage, but to seek positive encouragement to help salvage it.
Try that movie. We got it for $5 at WalMart. Perhaps get your husband to watch it with you. It will definitely plant a seed in his head. :-)

A.,
I want to encourage you to not go to a group like that. It seems to me that this might only fuel the fire, rather than encourage you. I think you need encouragement on how to make it through tough times in a marriage, not seek counsel or commisseration from people who are in the same negative place you are with their marriage. It just doesn't seem wise if you want any chance of salvaging your marriage.
