Voices list of every girl he’s dated to see if he has ever done anything to piss any of them off?! Then we’d haveloads to fight about! Fab!

My close friend — let’s call him Andrew — has been with his girlfriend for two years. Aside from being a loyal, committed boyfriend to her, he has been a tremendously good friend to me.

How do we expect respect? How do we demand respect if this is how we behave? We don’t deserve it. Lulu gives women the illusion of control, but the only thing I can glean from this is the opposite. Desperation for control has driven women to act like the worst version of themselves. Let’s be better before they get us back. Sam Ressler is an LA-based actress and writer.
