Considering that I’m in the business of helping people find and keep love, you'd think that I'd be a fan of THE romantic holiday of the year, Valentine's Day.
Well...I'm not.
But if it's a big holiday for you, by all means, enjoy! And hope you don't mind my poking a bit of fun at it.
It's just that every year, during the first two weeks of February leading to V-Day, I can't help but notice how some people ...
Should you tell your friend about her guy’s bad behavior? My answer is, “Itdepends.”
I’m a big believer in trying to “nip it in the bud” with the man at first, ratherthan telling the friend. This means communicating to him -- in a lightheartedway or not -- that you haven’t forgotten for a nanosecond that he’s involvedwith your friend. You don’t flirt along with his off-color comment. You avoidhis wandering hands. And you do your best to steer clear of him. ...
Depending on the person you're talking to, it can be awkward explainingthat you and the man in your life aren't married, but happily livingtogether.
But how about explaining to someone that you and the man in your life are happily married -- and living apart?
An increasing number of people in marriages, or in other committed,long-term relationships, are choosing to keep their own places ratherthan move in together. And these Living Apart Together (LAT) couplesclaim that their relationships are better because ...
If you’re like many women, you’ve been through a divorce orother serious relationship ending. And when it happened, at least one of thefollowing thoughts probably haunted you for a while:
"I'm a failure in love"
"I'll never find love again"
"The pain I'm feeling will never go away"
"Hell will freeze over before I completely trust or love anotherman"
Eventually, with time, and some work on yourself and yournew life without the ex, these kinds of thoughts don't haunt you. Or ...
Rejection is one of life’s most unpleasant little realities.Every time you start a relationship, there’s a risk that the other person coulddecide to walk away before you do. So, on some level, knowledge of that risk isgoing to be in your mind.
But that doesn’t mean you go into relationships, expecting to get rejected.
Or maybe…….you do?
One of the worst things about expecting rejection -- evenfrom a man who isn’t on his way out of the relationship -- is that ...
“Men are delusional. Hugh Hefner lounges around in abathrobe with three live-in girlfriends. You know guys are sitting at homewatching the Playboy Channel and thinking, ‘That could be me. I’ve got a bathrobe.’” (Denise MunroRobb)
While my husband’s doing the dishes, I like to come upbehind him, stroke his back, and tell him in my most seductive voice, “You have no idea how sexy you are right now.”
Not so coincidentally, I occasionally say the exact samething whenever he ...
“I’m not shooting for a successful relationship at thispoint. I’m just looking for something that will prevent me from throwing myselfin front of a bus. I’m keeping my expectations very, very low. Basically I’mlooking for a mammal.” (Janeane Garafalo)
Have you ever gone through a Basically-Looking-for-a-MammalPhase? I have. And at the lowest point of the phase, I temporarily talked myself into thisguy, “Dick.”
Honestly, I knew from the get-go that Dick was trouble. ...
If you haven't already done some digging, consider it -- whether your childhoodwas a happy one or not.
Years ago I did some major “excavating” of my own littlefamily of origin issues. Digging through various familial feelings andassociations, I confirmed a nagging suspicion: a less-than-rosy relationshipwith my dad was contributing in a serious way to some of my dumbest choiceswith men.
Still, those dumb choices were mine,and mine alone. Not that some men in my ...
