Dear Dr. Romance:

Those who choose to be dependent on someone else can only mean one thing - they do not want to be responsible for their own well-being. They want and expect YOU to make THEM happy without a second thought toward YOUR well-being. A dependent partner will drain you of your energy just as a vampire would drain you of your blood - slowly but surely sucking you dry until there is nothing left to give. Is this the type of relationship you want to be in? When we take responsibility

Instead of dwelling on the parts of your relationship you aren’t happy with or letting them upset you or cause tension, make them positive by turning the negatives into an action list for the relationship.nnYou may have heard the expression: “When you are given lemons – make lemonade.” Overtime, relationships are handed several lemons. The sources for negative feelings and unbalance are numerous. Some are directly caused between both people because of poor or missing

My dad woke up one morning feeling, as he put it, “Not quite right and a bit wobbly”. In being the strong-willed, tenacious, non-complainer that he is, he figured it was just part of the package of being 80 years old. However, after a few days of these lingering effects, he decided to go see his doctor. Upon calling the doctor's office, he was told that they had an appointment opening in ten minutes.

Are you in a dating 'rut'? If you've been single for awhile it's quite possible you’re starting to feel a little resigned and unsure that Mr. or Mrs. Right will ever show up. You know you're resigned when you’re having thoughts like.... "I can't find the right woman/man - what's ...

By Margaret Paul, PhDr January 10, 2017 How often in your life have you felt that magical feeling of deeply connecting with another? Learn how loving yourself leads to having much more of this in your life. As humans, we are hard-wired to want to connect with each other. Until 10,000 years ago, all people lived in tribes where families stayed together through the generations, and tribes stayed together, deeply connected with each other and with the planet.

My Wife Acts Like She Hates Me: My Wife Has No Feelings For Me "My wife has fallen out of love with me!" On your wedding day you never imagined you would ever hear yourself saying that, did you?

It is amazing the number of couples that allow the intimate side of their relationship slide. Loss of intimacy is one of those common marriage problems that eat away at the very foundation of a marriage turning what was once a loving and fulfilling relationship into nothing more than a shell.nnThe excuses are all too common, just too busy at work, the children are too demanding, we don’t have time or it’s just temporary to name but a few. With such easy excuses slipping o

First dates can be the beginning of many things; a friendship, relationship, or marriage. When a woman agrees to go on a date with you, she obviously considers you a potential candidate for at least one of the above things. The truth is that dating in today’s society is complicated because women look for varying qualities in men. However, if you are given the opportunity to date a lady for the first time you should make sure to utilize it wisely. First dates are exciting but not all men make it to the second date.

By Margaret Paul, PhDr December 19, 2016 ________________________________________ Do the holidays and other family events or gatherings stress you out? Discover what might be the underlying cause of this stress and what to do about it. ________________________________________ "OMG, I've got so much to do! How am I going to get all this done?" one of my clients said to me. "What happens if you don't get it all done?" I asked. "People will be upset with me."

A close look at the current American Election, the latest polls put Hilary Clinton ahead of Donald Trump due to the disastrous performance of Mr. Trump. Nevertheless, despite his divisive statements and unorthodox conduct, Donald Trump gathered enough support to gear some political analysts to believe that he may become the next president of the USA. Jonathan Ernst, a professor who has accurately predicted the outcome of every presidential election since 1984, told The Washington Post that Donald Trump will win the November Presidential Election.

Dr. Romance writes: OK, so you're disappointed. Your dream has ended in the trash. So, after you get finished with laying on the floor, kicking your heels, and screaming; or going on a drunken binge, or beating someone up, you find you're still disappointed, and all that acting out hasn't fixed anything. Now what do you do? Disappointment is a dead-end in your road. Now you need to figure out a new direction. Here are some hints:

Your personal integrity is dependent on you living according to your values. If you commit yourself to a values-driven life, you'll attract people of similar values and people who'll support and encourage you to continue to live accordingly, which will only increase the standards to which you've been living.

Is there something you've wanted to do, accomplish? Something for which you've always longed? Yet despite your fervent desires, there always seems to be something, or someone standing in your way, making those things you want somehow always out of reach. Perhaps you blame your parents. You were mistreated when you were a kid. Or maybe it's that crazy teacher who gave you a D minus in algebra when it should have been an A. How about your gym coach? Maybe he told you you weren’t working out hard enough. The clothes manufacturers? Are they to blame for making the clothes too small? Hmm.

Dear Dr. Romance:

Hey, welcome I will share some tricks on how to get your ex boyfriend back! Perhaps you have had a break up or are about to break up. I know how you feel, and I know how much you are suffering. A few years ago the same things happened to me too. I do not want to remember those days. I was calling, sending text messages, trying to find out what was wrong and apologizing. One day I found myself in front of my computer, and I wrote “how to get your ex boyfriend back”. I read

“Success” is a very elusive word, simply because it means many different things to different people. Believe it or not, I’ve met some of the most successful and high achievers you could imagine in my psychology practice who actually consider themselves “failures” because they’ve set certain - often lofty - personal goals that weren’t met. Think about the most recent presidential campaign. Would you consider Mitt Romney a success or a failure? Some would focus on the fact that he lost the race, without acknowledging the many successes he’s had in his life and career.

Dear Dr.Romance:

I wish you could see the picture of my dog, Buddy, I am holding. When we rescued him he had a mouthful of rotten teeth. The vet had to remove 22 of his teeth. When we brought him home I noticed he looked different. Because of his missing front teeth his tongue now lolls out the side of his mouth most of the time. I find it endearing. This “flaw” has made me love him more and gives him a distinction that is uniquely his.

Even professional women can’t always translate some men’s way they might try to express love, so they feel they are truly loved. It may seem funny to people, who may have been in a committed relationship like marriage for many years that they still might not receive a message of love the way it is being communicated by the lover. Five different ways some men communicate they care. 1. “Honey, I changed the oil in your car this morning” is an example of showing love by doing

Do you sometimes feel trapped with some who wants to be listened to but doesn't want to listen to you? ________________________________________ One of the common complaints I hear from my clients is that they listen well but they end up just listening and never being heard. This is the issue that Ginger wrote to me about.

If the martial or trial separation was never your choice, then the chances are good that you are looking for any way to end it and to carry on with your marriage. Many people suspect that one very efficient and effective way to end the separation is for their spouse to come to the realization that they are still in love. This isn't as easy as it would seem, though. Especially since sometimes, a spouse who wants the separation in the first place has doubts about this love.Â

A happy relationship takes a little thought. I hesitate to quote the cliché that you have to work at your relationship—it sounds so onerous. And it’s really not work to make an effort—it’s an investment of time and energy to make your relationship as great as it can be. Here are a few resolutions you might want to try:

What is Love?rnLove is a light that may get dim due to some unwanted reasons for sometime but will never get extinguished. rnThis is the definition which came instantly to my mind. When you love someone then you don’t put your beloved under any emotional cage. He roams freely. You are assured wherever he goes whatever he does and whom so ever he meets, he’ll return back to you with full loyalty one day. rnLet me ask one more question. rnHow will you test couple whether th

How do you feel about being single? How do you feel about your life? How do you feel about your future? How do you feel about allowing someone into your life and heart again? As you read through those questions – what feelings came up? Were they positive or were they negative feelings? Is it possible that your feelings are sabotaging your getting a great relationship? Are you one of those people who believe that how you feel is just the way it is and that you don’t have any control over what you feel?

The five types of people to avoid being in relationships with and of course there are more, but these are the common types. If you’re currently in a relationship with these types of people, please distance yourself from them as far as possible because all they’re going to do is bring you down in the end. Here are the lists as follows: The Emotionally Unavailable People: These are the people who no matter if you give them world they are still going to be in love with their

There are few exceptions to this rule and at the moment I can’t even think of any! If you’re faking it in any area of your relationship it’s only a matter of time before it comes back and bites you. Once you’ve faked it, you’ve painted yourself into a corner with only two options: staying in the corner or walking away and messing up the paint. Here’s a really good example of making things hard for yourself by faking it.

Do you sometimes look back and feel as if you have wasted your life caretaking others or trying to get others to take care of you?

Dear Dr. Romance:

I have been hearing a lot about the “Law of Attraction” the last few years and I have found this model to be quite attractive... gosh, I guess it’s working. Anyways, when it is narrowed down to it’s basics it seems to mean that you will reap whatever type of energy you sow. If you put out negative energy, then you will get back negative energy. Likewise, if you put out hope and optimism, then that too will be returned to you.

By Margaret Paul, PhDr December 13, 2016 Loneliness has much information for us when we open to it rather than judge it or avoid it with various addictions. One of the saddest and most dysfunctional aspects of our current culture is that it fosters loneliness. It's not hard to imagine that when most people lived in tribes or small villages, loneliness was not the epidemic that it currently is.

Dear Dr. Romance:

Grief is an essential life skill -- knowing how to survive grief means feeling safe to take another risk, and grieving actually expands one's capacity to love.Expression of grief, and respect for the dead, is very important to the grieving process. A symbol of grief for the loss of one person reminds us all of our grief for anyone we lost, and can be overwhelming.
