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?

A person who behaves in that manner to me would be wrapped up in themselves so it would be exited as quickly as possible without being rude.....

I think I’d be more concerned that they are so overly unhappy with their situation that they want an exit plan. Although I guess they would have done that prior to IE (I’d hope!). Could it be a sign of loneliness or their personality? We have to take personal responsibility for our life choices.
I don’t ask personal questions prior to meeting but their situation is what brought them here. I think all of that information prior to meeting would put me off as it’s telling me about their personality traits and how they connect

I don't want to hear anyone venting, shut up, where is the fun in that?
I was speaking to a guy on here, we had already established it was a no from me, but FGS, all he did was carp and complain about his Mrs.
What a bore fest.

tnm2024..
If I wrote what you referred to in your last post then …it wouldn’t have been allowed to be seen …
I would be perceived as an ‘angry bird’ with nothing better to do than winge about the opposite sex ..

It would depend on if I like the man or not.
If I do then I'll consider it as "sharing" since it probably would link to the conversation we are having. However, if I'm neutral or less about him then I'll think it is too much for a first or second date.
I think if a man is very moany in messages before we even meet then I can't say it is a share because he has not met me yet and therefore can't read the chemistry between us. And i dont think i would ask personal questions in messages anyway.
So moany messages would be too much for me.

I’ll listen 👂 but I won’t judge
However I won’t engage either. Am not a therapist. This journey is about carving a little escape of laughter 😆 happiness and playfulness 😈
If a guy cannot indulge that and wants to wallop persistently then we are not compatible. Harsh but sadly real 🤷♀️

Mmm. I think if an IE starts to moan non stop about life choices, their spouse, problems at home etc etc, then it's a good insight as to why they're on IE in the first place.
There are those amongst us who are only capable of dwelling on the negatives....I'm not sure why but I feel there must be some comfort for them in wallowing in self pity. No wonder then that they end up here because those around them get fed up and switch off, with the effect being the person seeks out that validation in self pity elsewhere.
If I wanted to listen so someone drone on and on about the same ol' same ol' all day, I'd have stayed at home and not bothered to come on to a place like IE. So would I put up with it with an IE? Not much of it, I'd have to say. Sure, everyone needs to vent once in a while and I'm more than happy with that, in fact I expect some of it. But where it gets to the stage when the life and soul is being sucked out of me, then no....I'd have to cut loose at that point.
