I had been dating my boyfriend for about a year when I decided to bring over an alarm clock. I wasn't moving in, per se, but I was staying over enough nights to require a proper waking each morning.

Have you read about the eighth-grade girl from Missouri who received two days of detention for hugging her friends? Apparently the school district has a strict rule against public displays of affection, which is evident in the fact that this otherwise well-behaved 13-year-old served her second day of detention yesterday.

We all have been in a situation where we look back and say we should've known our ex was an abuser, a cheater, or a jerk. It's easy to do in hindsight. I know because I've done it at least 18 times.
