A.   26 January 2015: Sorry, but i think he is absolutely capable of cheating on you. What sort of a guy goes and sleeps with another girl while still being with someone else. Its good that he was honest, but was he apologetic about it? It's not worth it if you have... (read in full...)

A.   23 January 2015: What you are feeling is absolutely normal. But you need to give him space. Especially in a LDR, you don't really know what's happened in the day in the other person's life. And no matter how many hours you spend online, that factor does not change. ... (read in full...)
