Every relationship suffers from moments of disappointment. He brushes you off when you’re opening your heart to him. She is always late and makes you wait for her.

You’ve seen all the signs. All the sudden he’s working out when you could barely get him to walk to the end of the driveway to pick up the newspaper.

When we talk about dating, we take for granted that we are talking about the same thing, but are we? Is dating “playing the field” and going out with lots of different people with the aim of finding out your potential partner? Or does dating mean, you have chosen one person that you are going out with in the early stages of a relationship? Is it “let’s get together and go for a drink and see if we like each other”? Or is dating when you are in a stable relationship which is intending to be long term? Is dating more about the activity?

In my forays into the world of internet dating, I met several guys who appeared to be great “boyfriend” material, at least what I thought I was looking for. Unfortunately, they lived out west, while I lived on the east coast, which pretty much quashed any further interest on my part. While they were willing to overlook the distance I was not due to long standing, unresolved trust issues. I figured relationships were hard enough to maintain when the person was within driving

It is true what they say, money is the root of all evil, but just like guns, it's the people that give these items the power. Finance within a relationship can result in such profound pressure that the initial feelings of love and romance become a far gone memory. The worst part has to be that financial pressure creeps in through many different cracks. In some cases the partner is to blame, and in other scenarios both fall victim to what can be considered reckless spending. Keep in mind that sometimes forces of nature like losing a job or falling ill can also attribute to the problem.

Anyone who’s loved a narcissist wonders, “Does he really love me?” “Does she appreciate me?” They’re torn between their love and their pain, between staying and leaving, but can’t seem to do either. Some swear they’re loved; others are convinced they’re not. It’s confusing, because sometimes they experience the caring person they love, whose company is a pleasure, only to be followed by behavior that makes them feel unimportant or inadequate. Narcissists claim to love their family and partners, but do they? How a narcissist loves
When considering your rules about dealing with conflicts it's time to KISS and make-up . . . or rather the principle of Keep It Simple Stupid. At some point in any relationship you'll begin to experience conflict. It happens sometime after you discover that he or she isn't perfect and before you want to throw the new Ginsu knifes at them. Conflict happens because your expectations aren't being met by the other person. We each come to relationships with certain expectations ab
At first you just want to help the one you love. He had a little bit too much to drink and you called in sick for him. She gambled away her funds and you transferred some money into her account. Or you covered for him when he embarrassed you with his dysfunctional behavior because he refused to seek therapy. These are just a few examples of situations in which you begin by trying to help someone you care about, but you end up between a rock and a hard place.

Many of the questions I get about romantic and dating relationships is the one where a person keeps finding him or herself repeating a not so happy dating pattern, over and over again.

People ask, How do I stop this repetitive, destructive pattern? Often people tried very hard to avoid the problems from the past relationships,
Why is it so hard for some men to utter those healing words, “I’m sorry”? And why is it so important to a woman to hear them? It seems men and women look at apologies from different perspectives. Some women, when they apologize, feel really good that they’ve made a positive effort to mend the relationship. Especially if they’re afraid they’ve hurt someone’s feelings. They say they’re sorry to repair the damage. When they do, they have a sense of satisfaction that they’ve made the effort to make the relationship right again.

We’re living in an era that is all about communication…instant, constant, easy communication. So why is it that often the most challenging communication is the one that takes place within your closest relationship? It goes without saying that the more emotional and physical intimacy you share with another person, the more challenging it is to create open lines of healthy communication. Communication in a relationship isn’t as simple as saying ”I love you” but requires keepi
In the past, I’d often thought that falling in love was reminiscent of that extremely vulnerable, naked moment a suicide encountered right before taking that precarious leap into open space; that space disguising the unrelenting hardness of rocks and cement on the street below. I thought of that split second of being airbo e, hurtling through the atmosphere a thousand miles an hour; your face, clothes and hair whipped, twisted and contorted into monstrous shapes, and terror, undeniable terror settling over your mind.
When I came into the world, I knew nothing, well, nothing that I could remember, that is. As you grow up, you learn many things, some you learn the hard way and others come in brief moments of blissful enlightenment. I like the later best. The older you get, the more you realize how little you know. When my kids make grandiose statements about life, I hold my little therapist mouth shut and think to myself, yeah, right, just wait. For instance, I have never met anyone who is really bad.

“We are all meaning making machines” I first heard this description of how we humans work six years ago at a workshop I was attending. Today, when I Googled it, I got over 5 million results!
