Here We Go!!!!

Sitting at work today, I realize how many of my friends are dealing with absolute train wreck relationships.  WTF?  Why?  I keep asking them...why????  But, then, it hasn't been too long ago that I myself was being dragged along in the world's worst relationship EVER.  How many of us out there have been cheated on?  Treated badly?  Lost ourselves because of a man??? a MAN????  Thoughts?
