We Asked, You Answered

See how you responded to our ESSENCE.com poll question
By Essence · Updated October 29, 2020
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

In an ESSENCE.com poll, we wanted to know how you would react in the following scenario: “Your boyfriend was unfaithful and you break up with him.”
 
 
We were curious to hear what you would do next and ladies, we commend you on your mature approach! Here’s how you said you would handle the situation:

Give him all of his things back immediately
66 %


Only keep the good stuff
24 %

Recreate a “hot” scene from “Waiting to Exhale”
8 %
 
 
Now, we’ve all had our not-so-proud moments when it came to the no good men in our lives.  So it’s time for Girl Talk: Have you ever gotten revenge on an ex? Have you had to help a girlfriend with one of her “situations”?
