I've had people tell me about being beaten by their partners, being raped, having miscarriages, being intersex, attempting suicide, being abused as a child; you name it, I've heard it. And I wouldn't say any of those would be "ugly truths." People who lie about that kind of thing are either cunts or have other issues that need addressing. Those who really have gone through these things, I value the trust they place in me by sharing.
Perhaps though, before this thread is taken any more off topic, this discussion should be moved to a new thread. And I will try and get things back on topic, while linking back to this discussion.
I think I wrote about one experience in the Best Sexual Experience thread, regarding somebody I had instant chemistry with. Every second of our time together just felt perfect. It was even better the second time round. We bonded, grew close, identified with each other's experiences and inner demons. I cared about her, and wanted to protect her from what she'd been through should it ever happen again.
Much, much later, they came clean to me; 'she' was a guy studying behaviour of people on the internet. They had various avatars with different personas. Everything they had told me was a lie, while I'd shared some of my deepest, rawest emotions and experiences with them. The time we'd spent together went from being among my sweetest memories on MNF, to leaving the most bitter taste in my mouth.
I've had some dreadful RP partners. I've quit the bed because of their attitude, their (lack of) RP skills, or because it transpires we want to explore entirely different kinks. But I just shrugged and said "this happens." But finding out that somebody had lied so badly to me, and (how it felt to me) made a mockery of my own problems, is not an experience it's easy to move on from (because of the problems I do suffer from - don't tell me to "just forget about it" because I literally can't).
