Mensah, who was way too honest about this kind of thing, had later told Amena that she had asked me to keep an eye on her, which Amena interpreted in some hormone-related human way I’m not sure I understood.

The Chicago City Council’s Finance Committee voted 22-13 Tuesday to advance a plan to bridge Chicago’s $1.19 billion budget gap without hiking taxes on large firms, handing Mayor Brandon Johnson another stinging defeat. https://to.wttw.com/44yyFw5
Rival Budget Proposal Advances Calling for $473M in New Taxes, $35M From Advertising on Light Poles and City Vehicles
Mayor Brandon Johnson immediately rejected the proposal to increase the city’s debt collection efforts as a tax “on everyday Chicagoans” that would target “poor and working” people.

I was a few weeks into a relationship when I saw 2 women with a flat tire. "I'm going to see if they need help". My girl chatted them up and traded numbers w/ them while I changed their tire.

That was mad hot & I let her know. 😏

Every day I say married couples are the problem. So I guess married men can’t talk to any strangers in public at all when they are with their spouse. YIKES.

I am a grown man and if whenever I see this type of "you on a short leash" behavior from a woman I get in my way.
If you gotta do. all that to keep your man faithful, he ain't faithful.
That "it's just about respect" line makes no sense and doesn't stand the smell test.
