My High School Boyfriend and I Broke Up Under Horrible Circumstances. Now He's Back, and Asking for the Impossible.

Let's start here: "Closure" is not what is achieved by sleeping with your high school boyfriend (or making out with him, for that matter). "Closure"-if such a thing exists (I have my doubts, but that's another subject)-is what happens after you both talk frankly and openly about what happened and how you felt, and you both come to accept that what happened, happened and is over and done with.

Help! My Sister's Boyfriend Lured Me Into an Awful Affair. Now She Wants Me to Be a Bridesmaid at Their Wedding.

When dorms closed in 2020, I was a freshman with nowhere to go. I moved in with my older sister and her new boyfriend, "Patrick." Patrick owned a home with a spare bedroom, and it seemed to make sense. He kissed me after I'd been living there for a week, and we had an affair that lasted nearly two months.

A Bunch of Money Went Missing From My Bank Account. Where It Went Could End My Marriage.

Your wife lied by omission and cheated, and all you have to show for it is an indictment of your particular way of having sex. If you imagined never being able to trust her again after that, it would be completely understandable. The story, as you portray it, has no mutually satisfying conclusion. You caught her and instead of contrition, she gave you a critique. It is disappointing, disturbing even,

My Toddler Said His Uncle Spent a Long Time in the Bedroom While "Babysitting." The Worst Part Is Who He Was With.

Three weeks ago, I picked up Adam from my brother's place. During the ride home, he complained about how my brother had spent the whole time time locked in the bedroom instead of playing with him. Then he told me that his uncle wasn't alone. Locked in the bedroom with Uncle Jason was "Aunt Delia," who is Beth's sister! I managed to come up with a lame excuse that maybe they were just tired.

Apple TV+ Movie 'All of You' Explores Sex and Soulmates

There's something about Laura Sharp and Simon Tavistock. Close friends since college, they share jokes that no one else understands and instinctively know how to make the other feel better. All of You from Apple TV+ walks carefully into this age-old premise, sweetly and with more honesty than typical Hollywood fare. It's messy and romantic and both deeply sad and deeply soulful.

I Cheated on My Ex-Wife for Years. She Took Me Back. Unfortunately, the Reason I Cheated Remains.

We had sex the following year, and it was pretty meh; of course, we were only teens. We never had a hot relationship where we would have sex multiple times per day or in crazy places; she just never cared for anything other than straight penis-in-vagina sex. I always felt I was missing something, and during that time, I had multiple affairs.

I Was a Virgin Until I Was 20. Then a Phone-Sex Incident Changed Everything.

I was still a virgin at 20, though I'd acquired a boyfriend just after I turned 19. I wasn't religious, but from an early age, I'd been instilled-by society, schools, parents-with a deep sense of shame, especially when it came to my body and the things I did with it. Though I didn't believe sex should be reserved for marriage, I did believe that it should be reserved for love. (I don't anymore.)
