Feedback forms for your exes?

Are friggin’ kidding me!

Today was a lazy day.

I did some housing cleaning.

I did some clothes washing.

And then I opened the page of Grazia Australia magazine and found an article on something quite stupid. The magazine profiled a website called www.wotwentwrong.com which gives lovers the chance to ask an ex to critique their relationship via a questionnaire.

A questionnaire!

How messed up is that!

Sick, sick, sick!

If you feel the need to go on to a website and prod an ex to fill out an online form as to why things ended, how do you think you are going to come off?

Will it not just magnify the fact that he/she is an ex for a reason?

Or worst, the ex must just realise that it was the thing they every did; i.e. dumping you.

What a cruel website.

It cannot exactly be good for your mental health.

The piece in the magazine had two columnists, one for the yes, the other against. The yes (i.e. who thought it was a good idea) actually advocated that you would benefit from a bit of honesty, and that an online form would save you from the awkwardness of saying it to someone’s face. How about not saying or asking anything at all! And this columnist was, surprisingly, a man!

The no – a female author – said not to lower yourself by asking your ex to identify all the things that made their skin crawl about you. She said, and I completely agree and cheer on, was to walk away with your head held high and that he wasn't ‘The One’ and that he didn’t deserve you. I know it’s a tad Oprah but it is true.

The questionnaire starts with how did it end? Did they not return your calls? Text message break up?

It then gives you a drop down menu with the words "confused" "please elaborate" "not that into me" "historical" "flippant"... this last one was quite sad. It followed with, I had a dream that we went out but surely that couldnt have happened because in my dream you stopped calling! What went wrong?? Help me out and let me know. Seriously, it would be nice to know. Pay it forward!

Oh dear god!

I usually don’t take these trashy magazines too seriously but when it advocates a website to pulling apart what went wrong in a relationship or worst what you did wrong in a relationship… who wins in the end?

Stupid trashy magazine!
