A.   28 April 2013: I think you need a serious reality check because you are being played here, big time. No girl should have to choose between one or the other and the same goes for you. She shouldn't have been cheating on you in the first place. And she broke up with ... (read in full...)

A.   22 April 2013: A lot of people get upset but it is how we deal with that anger that defines who we are. You basically turned into an aweful person when you drank and texted mean things. He was sick and I didnt see a whole lot of support from your side. But just ... (read in full...)
