He said, “It was doomed to fail, but we remained cautiously hopeful.” She had a guy, and you know how the things that are against the law can be the most delicious things? I’m telling you, my brother, these are without a doubt the greatest of the bunch. Although it was more of a Situationship, I did invest my time and everything else in it. It had been only half a year. Therefore, it was highly against the law. Because she was cheating on her partner with me, the relationship was quite poisonous.
