Have you carefully considered the reasons for whether it is appropriate to put the face of an innocent bystander in the video thumbnail image, while showing a complete stranger of the opposite sex falling in love with him? How might thumbnail image affect the thoughts of people who know this innocent bystander? His reputation? It is not certain that every person who knows him will have time to watch your video, so you may cause great damage to the person whose stolen image you are using to create the video thumbnail image. Fortunately, these thumbnail image's of the videos can be changed easily afterwards - for example, by changing this face image of an innocent bystander to a mere silhouette image - which would also be more honest in terms of the story. I believe you realize your responsibility!

She said her husband was only just a good provider. Well that’s a heck of a lot better then a Nigerian scammer.

[@jordanalandry1866]

typical case of the grass is greener and clearly she got a wild bug up her ass, and somehow fell into a delusional state of mind, where she was looking in the mirror and thinking that somehow she deserves more than what she has at home with her husband, which I really don’t understand. I lost my husband he passed away and I'm quite young as widows go, and I never believed I would ever be single again, nor did I ever want to, yeah you hit rough patches you become comfortable in the marriage it's not necessarily fireworks and a fairy tale romance novel 24-7 but who the hell wants that anyways, that’s not realistic that’s not real life. Any guy can come up with some cheesy fucking pick up lines and say whatever he wants to say usually with ulterior motives it’s not until you’ve been married to somebody for years you’re still living comfortably and safely, and enjoying quality time together through thick and thin, that you actually know that it’s genuine
