Dear Al A Carte,
I keep making bad choices in relationships.
I just found out that my on-again off-again boyfriend has been cheating on me. And this is while we are on-again.
I suspected it for a while and he denied it, but he finally admitted his unfaithfulness. When he told me the truth, it brought us closer. I would like to salvage our relationship. What do you think?
Is there something wrong with me? What should I do?
He’s Cheating
Dear Confused,
What are you? Chopped liver?

1 cup lentils, rinsed
½ tsp salt
⅛ tsp pepper
¼ bay leaf
2 onions, chopped
