My challenge? Explain the myths behind men cheating. Read on, and let me know what you think. It’s not always easy. Though it’s not always hard. It can give you everything you’ve ever wanted. Sometimes a whole lot less. Sometimes a whole lot more. It can be about freedom and doing as you like, while on other days, hard compromise and sacrifice.

After almost exactly three months, S and I had dinner last night. It was our first time seeing each other since the breakup in November.
