Hoo boy, do I agree with you on the relationships/arguments/depression thing. That sort of stuff is not only delicate, but ephemeral, and shouldn't be rendered more permanent in writing. That's what poetry or fiction or the like is for.
Also, when someone else is involved discretion is CRUCIAL. Talking online about your issues with a friend, family, or lover is just BEGGING for it to blow up in your face. I try very hard to restrain myself from negative carping, or even just general personal details, about people close to me. It's passive-aggressive.
