Let’s get down, deep, reflective, and talk about relationships. Well, that and a few other things. Let’s do this.

Can a relationship go back to exactly the way it was after one partner cheats?

The best way to answer this is to take a piece of paper. Crumble it up. Then smooth it back out. It’s been fixed, but it’s not the same. Now imagine a relationship. Crumble it up by cheating. Smooth things over. Is it the same as it was before? Just like that sheet of paper, hell to the no.

Should a person in a committed relationship be able to look through their partner’s phone without asking?

Nope. I don’t care how committed the relationship may be, but have the respect to ask first before going through the other person’s phone. It’s not about trust, but about respect. Show some.

Which is the most dangerous Zodiac sign and why?

Cancers because we’re emotional, moody, strong in our love, and will totally fuck your world up if you give us reason to do so.

What are some signs that someone is lying?

For some people I know, Danny, just their lips moving is proof enough. Other signs are trying to rush the conversation so they can’t be questioned or the other person won’t have time to weigh their comments in the mind. It’s because they’re lying.

What is the strangest way you found out your significant other was cheating on you?

I was introduced to his girlfriend by his brother during a random encounter at the store. We were off/on for a long time and I was friends with the entire family. I saw his bro and a woman at the store and spoke to them and was introduced. Definitely a fun and awkward moment.

What’s the biggest thing you hid from your parents as a teenager?

Probably that I was gay. My folks only saw what they wanted to see, but they didn’t catch on for many years, despite how obvious it was to most everyone else.

What are some secret things that women will never tell men?

A woman will never tell a man that he was right and she was wrong about anything. It has never happened and never will.

If you could be granted 1 wish for 2022, what would you wish for?

No more pain and happy life for me and my family/friends.

If you could tell your EX one last thing, what would you say?

It depends on which ex, but I’ll go with Cal for this one. As for what would I say? How about singing the Dolly Parton song to him, “I Will Always Love You”, and then walking away.

If you see your EX in trouble what would you do?

Again, it depends on which ex, but most of them, I would try my best to lend aid and help them out. I’m not petty like that and nor do I hold grudges. Okay, that’s a lie. I am petty like that and do hold grudges, but I get along well with most of my past life mistakes and I would still try and do right by them because I’m a nice guy and do stuff like that.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Until the next time, stay cool and be good. I’ll see you next time. Take care.
