onlinedating

Though I never experienced this, I know of multiple people who joined an online dating website only to discover to their horror that their ex was already a member, or to find out at some later date that their ex had just joined the same site. 

Some former partners took their private issues with one another to the public forum – engaging in bitter diatribes in their profiles and posting malicious gossip on message boards. 

Some left the site in fear of being harassed themselves by the ex, or having anyone they dated harassed by the ex. 

Others seemed to just ignore one another, and went about their business with very few knowing they were formerly married to one another. 

Though I did experience some garbage from a few men who I refused to date, only dated once, or broke up with, by and large the majority of the men I had contact with either ignored me later or were friendly with me.  I appreciated their mature behavior. 

This leads me to today’s question: When it comes to exes on online dating websites, what do YOU think is the best way to handle it? Does your opinion change if you think one of the partners is a truly nasty or malicious person?
