It was the best of love, it was the worst of love, and this month you shared it all. You wrote about loves that lasted (“Smoothing out wrinkles into old age.” –CanadaGoose) and ones crumbled (“Assumed lover loved me. My bad.” –l8leigh). Some relationships were a perfect fit (“Our jigsaw puzzle’s missing no pieces.” –CapeCodder) while others had major issues (“His toenails were a deal breaker.“-Neesha101). When all else fails, we recommend keeping a positive attitude like the unflappable RyanG: “Well, Twenty-Third time’s the charm.”
