A. 31 May 2024: Why do you say that your wife is superior to his wife? What is this based on? I could understand it if she owned her own business and brought in lots of money but the other one had no education and had never earned a bean. But I think it is your ... (read in full...)

My love for my partner has faded

Answered by anonymous on 30 May 2024.

A. 29 May 2024: " I also would like to ask her if HE knew about our flirt in order to put the whole story to an end." Don't. By asking you are making it seem like you still have the hots for her (which you might but you need to rein that in) - instead STOP giv... (read in full...)
