Girlfriend Walked Out Even After I Apologized for My Vulgar Outburst
Q. Half a year ago, I lost my temper and told my live-in girlfriend of five years to leave (move out of) my home. I also told her that she was a miserable “c-word.” We slept apart that night and the next morning I apologized and asked her not to move out. She did anyway. [...]
