How much is too much?

Does anyone else find it drags you down when you are chatting to someone, it's going well, and then they commence to dump their emotional baggage onto you? Complaining about their life choices, their wife/husband, their problems at home, why their partner isn't giving them sex, their kids, their relatives? Particularly when you've not even met? Turn off?

In my experience most potential IEs don't even reply so getting to the stage of emotional baggage is very far away.

I want to know a bit about the man I’m taking to bed and I want him to be interested in me as a person as well as the eager cunt and fabulous tits. That’s where the friend bit of fwb comes in. There is a difference between getting to know someone and being a bore while abdicating all responsibility for one’s life choices.

I know what you are saying to a certain degree and yes, I always answer honestly so the "over-questioning" can become tedious ... I also dislike the Q&A format some are prone to ... I prefer to chat and find out rather than ask/answer questions ... I really tune out when someone says "ask me anything" or when someone asks me a list of questions ... 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t mind if someone wants to explain why they have ended up here. But being disrespectful about their wife is a big red flag to me, or not taking any personal responsibility for their problems. How balanced is this individual? Have they ever actually grown up? I had an AP suggest he fucked me in my marital bed….🙄 So apart from how dodgy that would be 8n terms of opsec for me mate….wouldn’t it be easier if I brought my husband and you pissed on him directly 🙈🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

I was always very private before I’d met someone. Questions like that I’d say I’m happy to discuss over a coffee- definitely not with anonymous strangers though Legs&Eyes. None of their business really!

Continued….

It’s not ‘over-sharing’ that creates the problem, it’s the ‘over-questioning’ of someone who wants to be honest and transparent 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway. Happy Sunny Sunday all!

😘😎☀️

There’s balance to be found with this though…

It maybe because of my circumstances, but I find guys push me for more and more information. It takes me into having to consider what I share & how much - my need to be open & transparent weighs heavily when the push for answers goes on & on …

why are you single? Why no kids? Did you want kids? Have you really never been married? Why did you choose to remain single? And on.

In order to honestly answer I have to explain context. And my need for being honest means I won’t lie. And so sometimes there’s sadness behind that in the story…
And when I’ve tried to say is it necessary to know that - I often get blocked or ghosted 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess because at that point I look evasive.

So I dont really get a lot of guys moaning about their situations -but I seem to get a lot that want me to overly explain my own! 🤔

Hard to read signals on written messages BUT this is a long way of saying sometimes it’s not ‘over-sharing’ that

I have met two women on IE the last time I tried it. Both ok in chat, but face to face, their “issues” quickly came out and their lives were one dead dog short of a Country song. I guess what you have to ask yourself, is this worth it? If it is, jump right in, if not politely and gently move on and hope for the best next time.

I just reply with a link to a good therapist and move on... harsh, but saves me the headache further down the line!

I have a different question, regarding etiquette on here. I am polite and respectful of every person I contact on here, mindful they may not find me their cup of tea or vice versa. Is it normal that women would just block you early into a conversation after replying to your message. I should be clear, I had said nothing controversial, not even beyond the "how is your day" stage. If you are not interested in someone, do you just BLOCK them so they cannot reply? I find that rude and bit weird, no?
