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?

The truth usually lays (or lies) somewhere in the middle. Even in my past experiences, I've come to find out that I played some active part in the "screw up" upon in-depth reflection.

I think so too but it isn't always the case. Some people will blatantly lie just for pity.

none of the above apply in my opinion... normally both contribute in some way.. although there are degrees of fault... in some cases (e.g. Abusive Partners) the MAJORITY of fault lies with the abusive partner...

Ego is frequently a contributor or insecurtiy...in my case if I come to a point in a relationship where I think it is not likely to work for whatever reason, I would tend to end it amicably rather than waste my time.. or theirs.... I am still friends with most of my Ex's so this level of honesty has not yet posed a problem...

That is always the safest way to go i think. It's a bit hard to ignore it when your online 'friend' shares an experience though.

wave... oh laugh hee hee !!!... I have to say I kinda believe them to a degree.. although you have to reserve some judgment ...cause ur only getting one side...

I have got in trouble in the past for showing sympathy towards people... the implication being that I am taking side.. not the case... doesn't put me off showing sympathy though.. I can empathise with what it may be like to feel let down..

Yep, most of the stories require some level of sympathy. I empathise with some, not most.

I wonder what would happen if both the 'accuser' and 'loser' (??) were members of the site and proved worthy of our friendship. dunno

Who should we believe if they both insist the other did something heinous?!?!

dunno

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.
