I need to really vent about some of the articles and ads on PC. Don't get me wrong. Being on PC has changed me and probably saved my life. However when I sign in (or even before I log in) I have a slight stab in the chest when I see a couple or an article on "making love work". I may be oversenstive now considering I'm going through the roughest breakup of my life but it seems like everytime I log in or pull up the main page for PC I see hearts in the sand and something pertaining to romantic relationships. I understand that there are some who are in relationships who also struggle but do we need to have these couples on the very main page?? It's painful and I'm just trying to get better. Any thoughts on this? Is this worth reaching out to PC?

On my phone I go straight to the forums, like I'm permanently logged in. You're right, that mushy stuff is probably why I avoid the main page.
Thanks for this!

I too am logged directly to the forums so, no ads.

I get a couple of e-newsletters, one on anxiety and depression so the ad exposure is a bit less and I can always control if I want to deal with the ads or not that day or later or not at all.

I am permanently logged in too and I also have PC set as my favorites so I get no ads maybe it will be a good idea if you do this too?
Thanks for this!

I set mine up to go right to my forum I damn near live on.

Just change your setting to what forum you like
