Exes Ask Each Other The Hard Questions They Always Wanted Answered


Ali and Andrew are exes who met in college and dated for seven years. They broke up two years ago, after Andrew messed around with someone else.

In two new videos posted by Glamour magazine, the former couple get real about all the questions they left unresolved post-split. Ali's first question for Andrew gets right to the point:

“Why did you cheat on me so many times?” she asks.

Though Andrew tries to clarify that he didn't cheat -- at least not exactly ("I didn't like, do the act of cheating," he says) -- Ali presses him to own up to it. Eventually, he does.

"I think it was because I was interested in other options," he tells a tearful Ali.

"Why did I do it so many times?" he says later on in the clip. "I don’t have the answers."

The tone gets a little lighter after that, with the exes reminiscing about first meeting and their favorite memories together -- including the time Andrew floated the idea of getting married.

“I somehow said something to the effect of, 'I could marry you right now'. And you said, 'well, if you proposed, I’d say yes'," he recalls. "It was kind of nice that I had to walk away from that and like, think about it. It just felt so amazing. It was good. I could see it.”

In the second video -- which you can watch below --  the couple takes stock of the relationships they've had since their split (or haven't had, in Andrew's case), whether or not they would ever consider getting back together (it would be weird, they both agree) and why Andrew still wants to be friends post-breakup.

"Because I really miss you," he says with tears in his eyes.

Ali and Andrews' revealing one-on-one interview is part of "The And," an interactive documentary exploring modern relationships. Head to the doc's official site for more honest conversations between couples.

Never-Before-Seen Photos Emerge From Inside White House During 9/11

Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, never-before-seen photos from inside the White House during the 9/11 attacks have been released. The photos, reportedly captured by a staff photographer, document the reactions of then President, George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney as they watch the horrific incident unfold on live television on September 11, 2001. The majority of the photos were taken in the secure basement of the White House, where Secret Service agents frog-marched top government officials following reports that more attacks were a possibility. In the photos, President Bush looks tense as he converses with top officials in the President’s Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), a highly-secure bunker situated below the East Wing, which can withstand nuclear hits and ‘other devastating attacks’. Other senior government officials also feature in the photographs, including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, CIA Director George Tenet, Dick Cheney’s law...

'I Left My Husband For Him, But He Didn't Return The Favor'

Sometimes we screw up, but we have to find happiness and strength within to get back up again. If someone had walked up to me and told me a year ago I would be a 30-year-old single mom with two kids, I would have looked at them like they were batshit crazy. A year ago, I was THAT mom -- the one who seemed to have it all together, who had it all in some ways: two beautiful boys, a nice home, a good man and father to our kids. I cooked the meals and coordinated professional family photos, planned vacations, sent out Christmas cards, etc. I had a rigid schedule but made time to run and managed to be in decent physical shape. But something was missing. In my marriage, I felt alone. Why wasn't I happy? I met my ex when I was seventeen. He was four years older than me and I was smitten. He had a job, a truck, and a house. He had it all together. We got along great so dating him while I was in college seemed like the right thing to do. And of course, after college the next step w...
