Do you always keep in mind that there is always another side to every story?

There's actually 3 sides.

Person 1

Person 2

And the truth

Somewhere in between, the stories can easily be distorted by both parties personal perception of what took place. Life lessons!💡

Definitely. It's why you won't see me jumping on the band wagons of vilifying other members or bad mouthing ex's, etc., etc... Whenever I see those, I always think "I wonder what the other person's version is".

I try to. But mine is always the most important

Absolutely. What Moonlight said.

Yes, i like hearing both sides then making a decision on what to do next.

For sure! It's why it aggravates the hell out of me for people to post upsets with or about other users on this site or their family/significant others.... even exes.
I will even admit I am not perfect and may only see things from my own point of view and someone else may see it differently.

It's another "Never ending story"! 😞

Yes all the time
