It's not uncommon to come across cheating in college. Everyone knows the drama: he's been cheating on her for years. She knows but ignores it. They both cheat on each other and never confront it.

I’m bitter, I’m sad, I’m unmotivated. No, I didn’t get broken up with. I just got laid off. It feels a lot like a break up, like losing a part of yourself. Because you put so much time and effort into this relationship, this job, just for it to end. And when you lose it,…
