In a world where everyone is permanently glued to their smartphones, regular texting is often thought to be an important part of a healthy relationship. But is it really all that necessary? My boyfriend and I barely text each other anymore and it’s done wonders for our happiness as a couple. Other communication methods are…
You might feel an urge to reread texts because in some way you can still feel connected to that person, even though they aren’t a part of your life anymore. Instead of looking ahead to the future, you’re stuck in the past, and in the long run, that’s only going to screw you over. Here’s…
I’ve always had a good track record with my boyfriends’ moms and I assumed I’d continue the trend when I met my fiance. While my relationship with his mother was wonderful at first, as soon as we got engaged, she did a complete 180 on me. My future mother-in-law ruined my marriage before we actually…
I loved him and wanted to be with him, but still, I chose to push him away. I know that wasn’t my finest moment but I’m not quite sure it was a mistake. After all, he didn’t push very hard to stay. I wanted him to break down the walls I built up. He knew that I…

Texting can make or break a potential relationship…
If this isn’t the first relationship you’ve been in, you’ve probably seen the signs before. However, you don’t want to jump the gun in case your suspicion that a breakup is on the way is just your PMS talking.

For the past couple of months, I seem to be in a Twilight Zone in which pretty much every guy I set up a date with inevitably ends up bailing on me right before we meet up. What’s worse is that they all make the same weak ass excuses for canceling our plans when they…
I’ve always been attracted to feminine guys for as long as I can remember. There’s something about them that makes me feel all warm inside. While pretty much all straight women I know are looking for a burly lumberjack type, I’m after the complete opposite. I don’t think I’ve ever dated a stereotypically “masculine” man…

He slowly became emotionally abusive. Like…
