I don't like him! a-hole He might as well come straight out and say, "Forget her/him. They are worthless and cruel."

I have always worked very hard to maintain relationships that I do have with others. The sexual description is accurate. I have always tried very hard to be #1, so they have no desire to look elsewhere. The same reason I am motivated to eat healthy & work out hard ~ to impress. And, yes, I need to be loved. I need to be #1 ~ not way low on his totem pole of importance.

But, I'm still not an a jerk. I'm not dammit!
