  Posted on August 27, 2012 by admin in Relationship Stories.

  “I don’t get you. Where are you coming up with this? All of a sudden you’re Miss Perfect and I’m just a loser, a piece of crap!” and the argument begins again. This is not the first time Steve and I have had this discussion. Steve just never seems to remember because he’s either drunk [...]
