It’s unfortunate how often people are mistreated in what they believe to be a healthy relationship. For many reasons, they assume that this negative treatment is somehow something they deserve … something that everyone goes through. The truth is it is not okay for someone to treat you poorly. Whether you’re in a relationship where you’re being cheated on, taken…
The other day I received an email from a reader and she asked me for love advice on how she could get this man she was presently dating (and liked) to fall in love with her. The only problem with that was that he wasn’t really the greatest guy. He didn’t treat her well, rarely returned her calls, and only…
A while back, I had a client come into my office feeling pretty bummed out, and she was in need of relationship help. She had been in a pretty serious relationship with a guy for a little more than two years and they recently moved in together. However, as you can imagine the honeymoon stage was starting to wear off. With…
One of the biggest mistakes that women make in relationships is changing themselves for a particular guy. I think it is safe to say that there are things that we can all change about ourselves. Whether it is our need to control things or our emotional insecurities that keep us from loving ourselves, but I don’t believe that we should…
Let’s Talk About Sex: Are you a “NAUGHTY” girl? Why is Something So Good Often Defined As Bad?
October 15, 2015Recently my client told me about a guy she had been out on a few dates with. Things had been developing nicely and on the fourth date she admitted to getting a bit “naughty” with him. I knew she was implying that something of a sexual nature had taken place, though I wasn’t sure what she actually meant, specifically, so…
Alone time… this subject matter came up a few weeks ago while I was giving a client advice on relationships. Her and her boyfriend had been dating for a little over two years and she felt as if things were changing for the worst. When they first got together they did everything together (except use the bathroom), and she loved…
Being over 35 and single is an interesting time for women who want to find love. It can be an exciting time and also an emotionally draining experience. If you’re single, by now you’ve probably kissed enough frogs to know the type of man you want to meet, and whether you want to build a family (or extend one). And…
Healing from a break up can take time. Whether you or the other person was “at fault” or ended it, you invested time and energy into cultivating a relationship with this person. This means, it’s only natural that it will take time for you to be ready to get back on the horse again. For some women, this may only…
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have the perfect relationship? Where you and your partner knew each other so well that there was never an issue? Me too… but I know that’s unrealistic. No matter how long you’ve been together or how well you know each other; conflict is a common part of all loving relationships. In fact, some…
Imagine that your best friends’ husband calls you to let you know that his wife, your best friend, has been in an accident. He tells you that even though she’s safe, she’s a bit rattled, and he thought that she would love to hear from you. So, what would you do? Text her or call her? Now imagine that you really…
