Anyone ever stretch the truth a little bit when asking a question?

Question

Have any of you ever stretched the truth just a little bit to make a question more interesting? I know that I have, just a tad... in one of my other questions I said I was in love with another woman, because I was looking for advice about divorcing my wife because we are miserable. Actually, I WANTED to be in love with someone else, so I would have more of a reason to be out... some people gave some good answers, and many avoided the controversy that I engendered. I want to be in the position where there is someone else. Because now my wife has committed physical abuse against me, and I now have a reason to leave... basically, I do not trust her, although she says the cycle of abuse has been broken. This was the icing on the cake, the last thing to break what I had felt...

Anyway... now I want to leave her because I no longer feel safe. But I did stretch the truth just a tad. I apologize. But it created the feedback I needed.

Additional details... no, I am not stretching the truth right now. I have moved out, I took out a temporary restraining order, we had a court date yesterday (in which I dropped the order because she is seeking treatment, a counselor determined she has borderline personality disorder). I took my son with me. She wants me to move back in soon, but I am familiar with the cycle of abuse, and I know that right now she is filled with remorse and regret, but that it may not last.

Answer 1

Please get out now. For you and for your child. Don't want to go into details but I am a survivor of domestic violence, seek help from a local domestic violence shelter. If you need assistance or would like to correspond send a blind/blind mail to me via my profile. I am a domestic violence advocate, I can and want to help if you need me to help. Good luck. Peace

Answer 2

Are you stretching the truth right now?
