When does “just being single” cross into being non-monogamous?

Do you end or cancel dates early?

Yeah I have a hard time sympathizing with it, but I do have tall privilege so I try to be understanding about shorter guys that have a complex about it. Not that they should. Every lady friend of mi…

STBXWife spreading false accusations?

I agree. I spent way too much energy being upset that people believed that garbage. In the end 90% of the people figured it out, some years later. I still remember a guy I was casual drinking buddies…
