kareemadivina It's better to cut negative people and things out of your life.You can spend your time and energy in better things rather deal with negativeness which can drag you down and detract your peace of mind.

Forgive cheating?

Are you able to forgive someone who was cheating? I must confess that once someone lost my confidence, it is impossible to rebuild a relation

kareemadivina Maybe I can forgive him but trusting him again is another story.Once trust is broken it's so difficult to rebuild a relationship.Love can still be there but it's better to keep distance from cheating people.

kareemadivina It's quite interesting.Poor cows, they must have been awake all the time when milk and Melatonin are extracted from them.It's a clever marketing commercial though, with the brand name Lullaby and the Melatonin thing.
