How a McDonald’s Egg McMuffin Can Ruin an Entire Relationship
I dated a woman for nearly four years, but I should have known it was a dead end within the first four months.  Instead of being honest with myself and thinking rationally, I wasted the next 3.5 years of my life in hell, riding an emotional rollercoaster equipped with incessant trust issues and false allegations...
