Dear Ruthie,
I lost my boyfriend because I didn’t tell him I had a Grindr account. I found myself alone and horny one day, so I met someone on the hook-up ap, and the two of us messed around. Now my boyfriend hates me. Is there a way out of this?
Thanks,
Mr. Blue
Dear Mr. Blue (Balls),
I’d like to say I can help, but you made your bed (or screwed in it), so now it’s time to lie in it. How horny were you that you couldn’t keep it in your pants until your guy got home? Besides that, if you were truly in love with your honey, you would have closed your Grindr account.
All I can suggest, Horny-Wan Kenobi, is that you try your best to apologize to your boyfriend, explain why you strayed, promise it won’t happen again and close that damn account! Hopefully, he’ll give you a second chance, and the two of you can begin working on gaining trust once again. Good luck, sweetie.
