My heart was beating so high up in my throat, and it burned like I had a bad case of acid reflux. Tremors ran through me from my toes up through my spine and back through my hands. The betrayal was so great in light of the sacrifices I had made that I had half [...]
I broke up with my first girlfriend about six months ago. We bought a house, started a business, and adopted eight (yes, eight) pets together over the six years we were together. As you can imagine, it hasn’t exactly been the easiest break-up. And although I didn’t have an affair, there was someone else, and [...]

Today my ex said to me, “I’m just insane.” Of course, being the nice person I am, I said “No you’re not.” She proceeded to tell me all the reasons why she is insane. I really couldn’t disagree with her. So I kept my trap shut (didn’t type anything).
