Narcissists, Gaslighters, and Cheaters, Oh My!23 Apr 2025

REPLAY: Fast Love, Fast Heartbreak Part One

Four months of long distance. One whirlwind proposal. What could go wrong?

In part one of Buddy's story, he takes us through the romance that felt like fate and the marriage that revealed itself to be something far more complicated. Severe bipolar disorder. Alcoholism. And a series of red flags that made perfect sense in hindsight and absolutely none in the moment.

We're leaving you on a cliffhanger. Part two is coming — and it's a lot.
