Reagan, I've been overly paranoid of everyone I've been in a relationship with, no matter who they are, and it always ends the same way and- (calms down. Getting back on track :) I'm sorry. You didn't deserve it. I was wrong because you never gave me any real signs that you were cheating, and I jumped to conclusions based on nothing but my own experiences when you are a completely different person. I let my past experiences leak into the present and I shouldn't have.
