I am a male age 41. I reside in the US. I am married for several years and have experience dealing with young love in a deep emotional manner.

A.   2 May 2009: The truth is we never know if we can trust the person who hurt us before. The only thing we can do is ask ourselves if that person is worth you maybe getting hurt again. I'm not a believer in not giving people second chances. Ultimately it is up to ... (read in full...)

A.   28 March 2009: I HATE that "I love you but i'm not in love with you" bull crap. You either love someone or you don't. You have to back away and move on. It's only stalling your own happiness by giving you false hope. It sucks when you love them, and I might be in ... (read in full...)
