Dating Sucks But Dating Your Ex Is Worse

My introduction to relationships didn't exactly start off on the right foot. I know we learn a lot from our households growing up, and mine just wasn't really ideal. I don't remember much lovey-dovey stuff happening after I was a kid so for many of my formative years I didn't really know a lot of…
