Q. I’m 39 years old, female, and I have no idea how my life turned into such a soap opera.

Also, in my experience, a little cold never stopped me (or anyone I was dating who was interested in me) from going out with someone I liked.

Before I had time to think about it, I was typing in his password, which he has never changed, and read the text which was explicit and made it clear that this person, S, had not only seen my husband’s penis, but had done things with it.
