Just like a woman. You have a man who holds you down while you're fat. Then they lose weight and find someone else! I've been cheated on so many times just because I am a good guy. and it's not for lack of "other things". As soon as a woman gets attention from someone else, they will cheat before a guy would cheat.

I hope the detective retired or joined the 21st Century. Young people don’t jump into bed like some think they do. How backward and aggressive.
