Dear Dr. Romance:

Almost every day for the past 6 ½ years I have read the page of the day in one or more of the Alanon Daily books and I would journal my thoughts about that page. Today I read the page of the day about fear and looked back in my prior jou als. What I wrote on the same day 5 years ago was “I did say something about how I feel to someone and they are displeased. My old fears are taking over. I imagine being alone for the rest of my life and I panic. I do or say something in order to put a bandaid over the situation”.

Inspired by countless stories of friends and acquaintances jumping into relationships without "assessing" the scene, I have come to the conclusion, that to save us from self induced heartache we must indeed look before we fall in love.

Dear Dr Romance

Most people understand what a rebound relationship is. For those of you who don't; it is simply a relationship where one person has recently broken up with someone else. In other words, a third person starts going out with one of the partners who have just broken up their relationship. To put it still another way, a person catches another on the rebound after he or she has been cast aside by his or her former partner. There is a school of thought believing such relationships

I’m just explaining that I’m right.” Oh, the home truth in that one! How many times have you found yourself in an argument, heated discussion, whatever you want to call it

Am I describing you? According to legend, Merlin the Magician lived from the future in the present, and that was his magic. He knew what was going to happen because he had already been there.
