Well, no. Your post is ragebait. What's behind it is the same thing it always was. It's just, ya know, a trend of men not respecting their partners. It's not new. It's not dramatized. It's just that typically men do not put in the same level of thought, care, and compassion for their partners as women typically do.

These stories are pretty standard abuse, honestly. I've heard similar types of things about shitty partners abandoning someone at amusement parks, concerts, and other venues because they got pushed into something and then didn't "fulfill their end of the bargain" or keep up to the level that the first person wanted. Yeah, it is usually men that do this, but it's not exclusively men. Just, ya know, most of the time.

Like, I don't really understand how your bad breakup experience covers for this. You are downplaying the event without knowing both sides as well. Why is it okay to do that, but it isn't okay for some to potentially dramatize it? You're not even involved, so I think it's worse to do this weird defending, because it sorta feels like you might be misogynist. Like, them's the vibes.

I don't know why you think it's 90% of people making this up, but, uh, okay, buddy. There's definitely no potential abusive behaviors here that a partner should look out for, it's just 90% chance it was a bad day or a liar or something, and not shitty or abusive partners.

Do you have proof of any of that or is it simply your opinion?

I went with my ex to a local waterfall once. It was pretty dry, so I wanted to explore the top of the falls a bit since it's normally not accessible. It's very flat up there, and I kept back from the edge since I don't like heights anyway, but she got mad at me for being up there since she didn't feel comfortable coming out with me.

So a couple minutes later, I'm done poking about, and I turn around and she's nowhere to be seen. Now I'm worried she went over the side and something happened to her. I started looking over the edge of the hill leading up to the falls and trying to see if she's down there, but there was enough water to still be spraying the rocks. My foot slides out on a wet patch, and now I'm falling down the rock face!

I crashed off at least 3 ledges on my way down, and was flipping over and trying to grab onto things to catch myself, but there was nothing but rock and moss, but I finally come to a stop. I have no clue how I didn't die or break anything. It was one of the scariest moments of my life. After I checked on my own life, I saw she wasn't there, so I made my way to the car. She was there just being annoyed.

She seemed to think I deserved it for not listening to her for saying it was dangerous, while it was not the activity I was doing that led to me falling, but that I thought I needed to be looking for her after she disappeared without saying she was going to the car. I don't think she must have realized it was not just one rock I fell off of, but probably at least 10+ feet of rock, but needless to say I wasn't very appreciative of her lack of concern. I was just grateful to be alive at that point. I was sore for a few days and had some bruises that lasted a couple months. Was I a jerk? I don't feel so, but I don't believe remote places in the outdoors are the place to put arguments ahead of everyone's safety either way. If I would have gotten hurt badly, who knows how long she would have sat there before looking for me.

I mean what else are you gonna do? Have an escalating fight while you are in an emotionally unstable state? Walking away to calm down is just the right thing to do often, that doesnt change just because you are on a hike.

The cases in the article sound like there is more to them though.
