eNotAlone: Relationship Advice

The name of this site is so inaccurate it's insulting. You can't come here if you just want someone to listen. Long-time users will line up to judge you, highlighting your failings and criticizing you one after another. Rarely do they offer actual encouragement or support, and even their advice is clinical in its delivery. Everything is a one-size-fits-all solution, and they jump down your throat the moment you disagree. I believe genuine help requires compassion, taking into account the other person's perspective and limitations. These people are blind to both. The only thing they're out to help is their own egos, proving their supposed wisdom and superiority. (How arrogant do you have to be to name yourself "Wiseman" on a forum like this?) Go to this site and you'll leave feeling more alone than when you came.

Please think very carefully before downloading this app and creating an account. If you post on an forum, it’s PERMANENT. They will never delete it. Also, the moderators are bullies. I was seeing an advice years ago about dating and I was trashed and called names. When I contacted one of the moderators Hollyj to let them know about the bullying, she bashed me. Horrible forum!

Idk why it has bad reviews I like it a lot. I’ve had it for a week and made 2 posts so far. I like hearing opinions of others when it comes to my relationship. This app allows me to do it without telling all my family/ friends about my problems.

One of the main posters Hollyj is a cyber bully she wrote what I felt to be nasty comments on my thread and made me feel harassed. I feel that the people who answer the questions are thin skinned bitter people I’m not sure of any of their qualifications other than writing nasty comments on peoples threads. They did on mine. P.s if you need an post deleted or want you account removed since they won’t do so at your request just insult Hollyj I’m said post and it will be gone. Hope this helps.

I think the people who frequently post and moderate on this forum are emotionally wounded and try to heal themselves by mastering a situation that hurt them and they do this by berating posters who they perceive as either not being as strong as the supposedly healed berater or as being someone who represents the person who hurt the berater in the past. So I wanted to get some support on how to breakup with my girlfriend because I felt guilty. First responder insulted me. Another person asked a question. I tried to log back in to answer and found this message — You have been banned for the following reason: trolling. Date the ban will be lifted: Never The moderators obviously get some pleasure from this little power trip. You can sense it from the way they worded the ban notice.

Read the terrible reviews and stay away. The people are mean, posts will get banned - this is in NO WAY doing its job as a platform and community for supporting and uplifting others. Not to mention the interface is designed horribly.

I am an old Loveshack.org member, and was looking for a new community since it shut down. Found eNotAlone and was so happy to find a potential new community, so I created an account. A message popped up saying I was banned for having multiple accounts. This seemed weird to me, since I had never seen the site before, so I tried again. Again, banned. Finally I tried with my old Hotmail email address and found that I had an old account from 2007 where I had made 2 posts. Being that this was 11 years ago, I had totally forgotten about this account, which they also banned for being associated with the IP that made the new accounts. I contacted admin, fully expecting a compassionate adult conversation about the misunderstanding (this is a support site, right?), and instead got the most NASTY email replies telling me I'm forever banned, that I'm not reading what he's saying, etc etc. He didn't even listen to me or offer any sympathy. Heartless Admin. I'm just looking for a support community, and I think I made that very clear. Shame on you eNotAlone. You have made me feel more alone than ever.
