Yep, Iraq.<br />-Boyfriend before that - after he left my house in the middle of the night, I found out he had a wife in Utah, took out $35,000 under my name, and was wanted in at least two other states.

You question him later and he states that his relationships with the opposite sex are none of his mother's business. yeahh....<br /><br />-He has to drink a can of beer in the morning or he can't function.
