PLAY THE GAME TO WIN!
On my way into work today, I was perusing some comments on a topic in a group. The topic was based around how to handle the period between dating, and “exclusivity” with regards to sharing information, and a person’s sexual exploits with people OUTSIDE of the dating relationship (aka how you play the game). The answers were diverse, but as I was reading over them some trends emerged that caused a realization: Many of us are failing in our committed relationships and marriages, because we fail to prepare properly forRead More
WHEN IS IT OK TO CHEAT?
