At some point, most of us have had a relationship that started strong, with respect and attention, only to go down south as we were taken for granted. Eventually, we move on. Then, years later, that person reappears, claiming to have changed, and tempting us with something new, and fresh but let's be honest here, trust at this point does not exist.
