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?

It's never happened to me on here. But if it ever did I'd wrap it up pretty quickly🙂. Who wants to know about the mundane, everyday stuff - this should be about the very opposite.

Fluffy and Hope …
I agree with both of you..unfortunately if you have a sixth sense …or as my husband says to the kids …your mum can see around corners…then it’s difficult to be objective take a leap of faith with someone..
Lots of guys seem to fill their lives up with too many elements…work/family/ hobbies/ parents/ sports/ pastimes etc etc ....but as it has been said …we do end up as a support network because they become complacent and then they start searching on IE but have no idea how they will fit another woman in their lives …if they can’t organise their own ..women don’t want pen pals or do they want to be listening to anything work related or the reasons why the marriage has gone tits up..we have enough drama in our lives as it is …😔
IE is escape …..let’s do it 👍

From my point of view an IE is for additional recreation and comfort and is best used for that, not to make up for inadequacies elsewhere.
Some escapism, being the real you without the baggage that has become you.
Sexually enjoying what you feel you cannot when mixed with "married" life.
Occasional unloading can help but nothing heavy.
An IE can remind you what / who you are and not what you have got used to and assist in a readjustment. ( Advert by me ends)

Hope Springs -
I couldn't have put it better myself.
It is draining. And when those issues in their life impact on your life and the affair; the let downs and excuses because of their 'car crash' situation in their home life interfering incessantly with plans and meets (we have our own lives, time and re-arrangements to make too) it does start to become a mental and emotional grind...the fun starts to feel like a chore... Plans in place, will they change, will something crop up AGAIN in their shit show life? It is unpleasant, unhealthy and ultimately a form of psychological abusive.

I'm all for having open communication and my partner being able to talk about their stresses etc but if it is a bit too much, too often, it can be very draining.

This has been a major issue for me. So many men sign up as a distraction to their real life problems - I've heard it all, truly. If you're a feeling person you do sympathise but after a long time of helping and supporting someone you care about it is incredibly draining. What was supposed to be an additive to your life becomes another source of strain - as if work, family, kids, money isn't enough! You end up being like the Samaritan Service. I've borne the weight of this for a long time, and it has truly worn me down.
Aside from this, those with significant personal problems are more inclined to suddenly disappear. Like an unstable chemical, they are impulsive, depressed, their self-esteem can be shakey and they are more inclined to pull the plug suddenly, which can be incredibly hurtful, and when they do this repeatedly it becomes emotionally abusive. Their problems cause you to have problems!
I'm currently taking time out from 'this' because of these issues. It depleats your soul.

To my mind, there's a difference between dumping your emotional baggage (which is a no no for me, it's just whinging, basically) and sharing how you feel about things that matter to you (which is fine, in fact I like it).
Emphasis on the word 'sharing' there, I think, communication is a two way street. I find people who talk but don't listen a total turn off. Heh, I'm listening...

The reason, I suspect, that a lot of women are “guarded” on the site is because of 🤔 not the baggage over load but…
