The Other Side Of The Story.
When a relationship goes sour the story has three sides; his story, her story and the truth, which is somewhere - not necessarily midway - in between.
It is easy to run people down in their absence since they are not there to defend themselves. Unfortunately, until we hear the other side of the story, it has no credibility and it remains gossip.
But let’s forget about the moral issues of gossip for a minute and look at the practical impact of the matter.
When I read something like this, the first thing that comes to my mind is: Hell, I’m glad it is not my character being dismantled here. I’d be too scared to get involved with such a person in fear of the same thing happening to me. I consider myself as fairly average in my thoughts and believe that I’m not alone it thinking this way.
This does not begin and end with lovers and ex-lovers. The same holds true for friends, family, employers, etc. Most of us are guilty of it to some extend and we all love to hear a juicy story but as I said earlier, we can attach no value to it until we hear the other side of the story.
All that you can achieve by running somebody down is to alienate yourself from somebody else who may have been interested in you. But what you really told us about yourself is that you are unhappy in your environment and unable to cope with it.
May you all have a whale of a day.

Done! Your wish is my command.
This must be "laundry day". Everyone seems to be "airing" some of the things that they feel. I think all of us have witnessed some bad mouthing of others on here! I try and refrain from that unless I have been provoked! Cat, you have said it many times before. If a person/s does not like a particular blog. move on instead of making a personal attack on the blogger! IMHO.
Everyone have a super eve. or day!
Nice pic but I agree with Cat. I like the one with the long hair.
Well, if she is not saying her piece then she should do so. Just tell me when so I can sell the tickets for the bout.
Hi Jim!
Hi Usha!
that is my sentiment as well. On another blog a guy can do and say as he is pleased. I won't be provoked. But when he comes to my blog, he will get what he asks for.
So! Giving me hope and then breaking my heart. But it is ok. I can handle rejection. I won't blog about it in public.
Hi Ifruity
I must admit, no I cannot recall such blog and do not know who you're talking about. I have not been very regular for the last few months. That is the price you pay for playing truant.
Good to see you around again.
The bigger the disaster the more newspapers sell. People don't like good news. It is bad news that make them look at the news on TV.
No, I don't think she has changed with her pic. She is always the same.
I hope not for I have not seen a lot of confessions yet. It appears to be more like a brag book.
I know.
Not very modest, am I?
I know that you know but won't tell.
It is ok, it will teach me to read the blogs more regularly; even when I don't have time to post a blog.
I'm writing slower now so you must read slower to stay longer.
It is equally distasteful but what I was mainly referring to is discussing an ex of years ago who has not even heard of CS. More like digging up old cows.
