This man's ex accused him of never committing to anything, so he learnt to backflip in a day

That sure showed her!

This man's ex accused him of never committing to anything, so he learnt to backflip in a day

I have *quite* the problem committing to things – I quite often give up on TV shows halfway through; I always drain and eat my pasta too early; I downloaded DuoLingo in order to learn German and did a total of one session. I’m cool with it though – it adds to my “mysterious persona”.

Oh, and hey! I committed to completing this article, didn’t I? That’s gre
