Half truths is what we hear, that's not a criticism, as Indy said the real truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.

I tend to believe stories about the physically abused and as they bear no responsibility or blame for the violence perpetrated against them I feel nothing but sympathy. I also cannot imagine why anybody would lie about being in an abusive relationship if it weren't true.

My divorce came after a very long marriage, we simply grew apart, no physical abuse, addictions, or infidelity, but of course we both hurt each other in the process, we'd been together since I was 16 years old. And I'm not going to come on here and give details about the day to day falling apart of my marriage in the latter years as it would be one-sided.

Maybe because my own marriage or rather divorce, wouldn't make a very interesting tv drama, unlike some of the stories I've read here, I tend to lean on the side of disbelief in some cases. That may also be because I've never experienced such things and find them the stuff of film or tv.


Nice post Jan.

I have no doubts about abuse stories and feel for them.
thumbs up

The ones that really leave me suspicious are the ones that make someone out to be a totally, useless, hopeless person.

'He/she can't have been that bad if you fell for him in the first place' is what comes to mind.

Hi Luscious.Just to say that it really doesn,t matter what anyone else thinks.I know the truth and so does the other party. I sleep at night,they don,t.

Having said that, I,m pretty darn sure there are men and women blaming the other when they know full well that it was mostly their fault. However,each case is different. I,m sure there are many where it,s 50/50,and others where one partner was blameless.

Sad we'll never really know if most things everyone says are true. Vicious world.

Sometimes it,s best not to know. The past is the past and not necessarily an indication of how things will go in the future. Ignorance is bliss.

I disagree my friend. I would want to know if someone interested in me was a child molestor or devil worshipper before. dunno

That may be true for some people Elley.

My last relationship was with a very jealous man, the first time in my life I had encountered such a man. He didn't like to know anythng personal about my past life and he admitted once that it was because he couldn't bear to think of me with another man.

I thought this was really weird and unbalanced, he accepted and met my kids a couple of times when they visited me in Spain but somehow managed to block out the fact of how and with who they were made!

In response to:
what do YOU think might have led to the breake-ups or divorces?


People for whatever reason just don't completely think a situation thru.

I mean seriously... Don't care how much you have chat here and on phone, then meet them in person only once and move in together is pretty silly, anf in most cases will be a breakup in a fairly short time.

As far as the abuse stories, I also have trouble believing most of them or any other stories.
Do you really think people are going to come here and say,, it broke up because I constantly cheat or because I have such a temper that I can't get along with anyone or so on.

The low lifes that play most are well practiced in their game and practiced in making themself look good in words!

In person, eye to eye behavior is what I believe!professor scold

P.S. This poll does not refer to any one specific post.

Ok. we've read a gazzillion stories here that make losers of our exes.
The thing that inspired the poll was that, we have both male and female friends here whom we always support.

Thing is, a man will come on here and narrate how their nagging ex gave them hell, ate popcorn all day over juicy gossip sessions over the neighbour's ramshackle fence, right before she taking off with everything including his dirty underwear. Everyone says they believe the guy, condemning and virtually killing the said 'villain or witch ' .
Two minutes later a woman will say her ex lover/husband was a cheating, abusive, dirt bag who never lifted a finger to help with the housework, and again everyone suports them sending the 'violator or loser' straight to hell.

So what would happen if all our ex lovers/ husbands joined the site? Would there be a conflict regarding trust??
Do you believe everything you read or just most of it?


It's human nature to be supportive, on-line or IRL. We don't mean it though or do we?????

I know this kind that hides behind humour, cynicism and think the know better than the rest.

Most of them have never experienced anything real because they are too busy being judgemental.
