I'm having a hard time thinking about how to phrase this so that it makes sense. I guess - when an HPD does something nice, is it "for real"? Is it genuinely meant in that particular moment? Or is it meant for the sake of creating a Good Guy / Girl Image? Of course there's no one answer for everyone, but generally speaking?

I am trying to juggle an employer with HPD, and I think ...

I have quit so many times! And I'm trying to loose weight got about 25lbs to shed. I found that I CANNOT loose weight no matter what I do if I am drinking caffeine! I drink it for the kick, the taste, (love coffee) but mostly the lift I get cuz I have battled ADD, depression, food addiction (mostly sugar and fats), and it seems to lift me temporarily.

Here are some highlights of why I believe he is:
1) He used to leave me places if we happened to run into any exboyfriends of mine. No ...
