Case 525
For the past two years I’ve been living with a man who is fourteen years older than I am. He has two children from two different relationships....

One time he was careless, and I read messages from his ex during [...]

About two months ago I was unfaithful to my wife on social media. I chatted with two women about how bad my wife was to me, and how sad and empty my life was by her side.

Case 520
I am thirty-six years old, and I decided to have a relationship with a single mother of three daughters.

The truth is that I don’t feel comfortable [...]
