    I posted the original comment. The one I used to date was Andrew. He would do or say anything to get what he wanted, he just used people. And you didn’t realize how he was until it was too late. Being with him was probably the WORST time of my entire life. & yes he WAS the ladies man. I didn’t know it but he was cheating as well. He used to be very clean cut…he looks so rough now. He is what I would call a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I hope to GOD when he gets out of jail he straightens up, I’d hate to see anyone else put through hell b/c of him.
