A.   11 June 2016: I don't know a single person that has never been sad about their ex in some way. Even years after the break up you can see something that reminds you of them and it brings back old feelings. Feeling sad about this is normal and it's inevitab... (read in full...)

A.   25 April 2016: Well what a lovely person your boyfriend is! I cannot believe he would even have the audacity to mention anything to do with your weight. He doesn't love you. If he did, then it wouldn't matter what size you are. Get rid of him and find someone ... (read in full...)
