Sidetaker website lets internet commenters solve relationship rows

Rowing couples who refuse to back down during arguments are taking advantage of a new website that lets the internet decide who is in the right.

Sidetaker.com allows both members of a relationship to post articles giving their side of a dispute.

Readers then vote on who has more right to be angry, and can even offer advice on how the row can be solved.



The anonymity of the web encourages couples to be candid about their feelings and ensures the judging public is impartial, the creators of the site claim.

Sidetaker, which has the slogan “Let the world decide who’s at fault”, only launched last week but has already attracted dozens of bickering couples and hundreds of helpful commenters.

The subjects of the disputes vary immensely, from the light hearted (His Unemployed Ass Drives The Newer Car), to the deadly serious (She Destroyed Me After 3 Years Together). The most discussed row currently on the website involves a husband who refuses to flush the toilet, turn on the heating or light more than one room at a time in order to save money.
