Ugh, why do I still care about this guy? He's an asshole, a coward, was a willing partner in an emotional affair, and he's going to chuck over his close friend of over a decade because his controlling, still married girlfriend of nine months says so. Fuck, idk who's the bigger idiot: him or me.

Shit like this is why the women's leadership program I was a part of got axed by the college that housed it. Still have not forgiven that branch of the Minnesota State University system.
