As a woman I have to agree with what Tony said below. That's pretty much what I would have said. women lash out because they are hurt . They are not intentionally trying to "run you over" they are pissed or hurt. And yes it's good you ignore and not say things back I know that takes a lot of restraint itself lol. You said were divorced not to long ago . Maybe hold off on dating for a while and take time for yourself if there are still some issues you have or anger towards the divorce or wife . So you will be ready down the road to start a fresh relationship and not dwell on the past one to be fair to the next woman .

Nope, you're fully in the right. I think you're keeping your defenses a little high as TT said, but just take it on the chin and walk away. The minute it starts getting nasty like that, just block the number bro. Anyone who respects you and has self control would understand and make it amicable or try to understand. Those who lash out aren't worth the words.

Yes. I would've done the same bro. No need for the back and forth. I would've been polite about it and just broke it off , kept it simple and not get In to a crazy long explanation. Apologize for wasting their time , and move on. Of course they will be hurt and lash out. It's very understandable. On the flip side tho do not compare every female to your ex, nor make them suffer for what she did. You might in some cases over analyze the situation and read into something that in turn might not be anything at all. An if there is an issue it's best to sit down like a grownut adult and voice your opinion and express yourself instead of just cutting them off. Just my opinion.
