What is this programme about?
Relationships are a fundamental aspect of life, but many of us don’t know how to navigate them. Understand the basis of how relationships form, why they exist in our lives and what lessons we need to learn from them, provide us with the best tools to live harmoniously and joyfully.
Our understanding naturally makes us more forgiving and balanced. Often, there is a negative belief pattern, that relationships demand adjustment and compromise. This is the cause for relationship jokes about marriage, or employer-employee or other relationships. What we don’t realise is that our belief becomes our reality. When we feel like we are ‘adjusting’ we feel dominated over and live in resentment of the other.
Rather than nourishing the relationship, we want to escape from the other’s presence. But despite our best attempts to avoid them, they remain in our minds, and drain us of our precious energy which could have been used more productively.
Through this workshop you will learn to better your own ability to attract better relationships. You will learn how to make your current relationships harmonious and fulfilling through tools such as Loving-Kindness Meditation, Ho’ponopono and many others.
Who is it for?
Those who are experiencing troubles in their marital relationship, or in relationship with their colleagues, friends or their boss.
People living in joint family systems or working in family businesses.


Thank you everyone for all of the special notes, texts, emails and comments over the years. It makes me smile when I post some of them here. Your kind words make the extra hours spent on "work" unquestionable. I truly am blessed to have influenced you, and more importantly to see how you have influenced each other. Together, we can empower others around us. We are living proof! I really appreciate all the love!!
XOXO, Andrea Kaye


Most people who have foot fetishes have developed this habit at an early age, when they became aware of their sexuality. However, it doesn’t go away as you get older. Depending on the source of your obsession, it can be the result of different factors. It is not recommended for everyone, but some people may find it more comfortable to embellish their feet and enjoy the experience. You can find many options for crazy sexy feet cams online.
To start the conversation, give your partner a compliment every time she or he strokes your feet. This can make the other person feel special about themselves. Afterward, talk about your fetish in more detail. The best way to start this conversation is by paying a compliment. If you have a new partner, you might find it difficult to discuss your foot craze with them, so it’s advisable to be slow and subtle about it. You can also try to tell your long-term partner about it, but this might take some time.
You should also avoid discussing your foot fetish with strangers. Some people may think it is gross and uncomfortable, so they might shy away from sharing it. But if you’re not a socially awkward person, you can tell your partner about your craziest foot fetish. The best thing to do is be honest about it. Don’t hide your fetish. It’s okay to be vulnerable and open about it.
You can also talk about your foot fetish with your partner. Some people find their feet to be aesthetically attractive. Others are attracted to the smell of sweaty feet. Whatever your reason, you’re sure to find someone with whom you can have a foot fetish. If you think you’ve developed one, start the conversation with your partner and get some help. You may be surprised to find out how much they enjoy it.
In addition to sexy activities, foot fetish can be a power play. In some cases, foot fetish can be induced by your partner. If you’re the recipient of a foot fetus, you can introduce your partner to it in a safe manner. You can then introduce your partner to the fetish through simple everyday activities. A good way to do this is through kissing, penetrating and licking.
When you’re talking to a man who has a foot fetish, you need to remember that there are no rules for such activities. While it is perfectly normal to touch a woman’s feet, it is not a good idea to get too close to them. If you want to have sex with a man who has a foot phobia, you should talk to him about it. It’s a normal part of life, and you should not be ashamed of it.


Back in June I found this online challenge for the month of July where every day you would do squats, pushups, crunches, and plank and you would increase the time/amount each day. I thought it might be fun to do with someone else so I asked my friend Lexi to do it with me, and then I asked my friend Toria, and then I invited my sister Deanne to and then my friend Meghan joined. We started a text group where we could encourage and hold each other accountable to get it done. I was pleasantly surprised at how encouraging it really was and how every day I did those exercises even when I didn’t feel like it because I knew that my friends would ask me. Then the challenge ended, but our daily encouragement and accountability didn’t. We still cheer each other on, hold each other accountable, exchange our favorite recipes and photos of each other after completed workouts. Then it morphed from just talking about weight loss, fitness, and healthy food to also sharing the tough stuff and the big stuff and the good stuff. They have become my safe space where I can share my heart without judgement and I know that they will encourage and cheer me on. It is a gift beyond description.
Through this group of ladies I have been reminded of something that I always knew, we need each other. We were not made to do life alone. I think that when God said it was not good for man to be alone he wasn’t just referring to the husband and wife scenario. I think He knew that when we do life together it just goes better. When we have our people cheering us on and asking us the hard questions we can lose the weight, and quit the bad habit, and create new good habits, and learn better ways to live. Life is so much more full when we live it side by side, with open hearts and shared words. Accountability and relationship and community… they are game and life changers. They remind you that you aren’t alone and that life is hard but it’s easier with your people. We need each other, plain and simple.
Have you been trying to quit smoking? Find someone to hold you accountable! Have you been trying to lose weight? Find people to hold you accountable! Do you want to workout more? Find people to hold you accountable! Do you want to read more or be more consistent in the time you spend with the Lord or be less fearful or take more chances? Find someone to hold you accountable! Find your people, be vulnerable with them, connect with them and watch as deep and good and true community literally changes your life.


Here is good news for those who are asked by the court to participate in mediation: Mediator services provided by the Family Court Services Department are free. Yes, you don't have to pay.
Are you getting a clearer picture of the role of mediation in divorce? I heard "yes" Very good! This topic doesn't seem too difficult to understand, right? So let's move on! You can now hop over to this website to get further information.
Image Source: Google
What exactly is divorce mediation? Now, not all divorced couples can come to an agreement on custody and visitation issues. Hence, mediation is a way to help this couple reach an agreement.
The great thing about this is the couple doesn't have to go to court at all. Of course, you definitely wouldn't want a judge who knew nothing about you to make decisions for you, would you? This includes mediators.
What are mediators and what are their goals? Mediators help divorced couples reach an agreement. If both parties still feel angry and upset with each other, this will certainly prevent them from reaching a fair settlement regarding their child or child.
Mediators help divorced couples agree on parenting plans, also known as parenting agreements, regarding communication, bargaining power, problem-solving, and more.


As Welsh Women’s Aid marks 40 years of campaigning to end violence against women, Sarah from Monmouth reveals how living with an abusive partner made her question her own sanity.
It sounds such a cliche, but when I first met my ex-partner, he was the perfect gentleman.
We were friends for two years, having met through our young children. Both widowed, both lonely. Everyone, including family, thought it a perfect idea that we get together and, in October 2009, we did.
- Gaslighting: the ‘perfect’ romance that became a nightmare
- He wasn’t happy until he had me all to himself
- Cheating and manipulation: Confessions of a gaslighter
By the January we were engaged, and four months later, we went on our first holiday abroad with the children.
But while we were there, he saw me talking to an elderly man, and afterwards, back in the hotel room, he hit me for the first time, accusing me of spending too much time with him.
I was stunned, of course.
I said: “You will never do that again to me”, and the next morning, caught a taxi to the airport with my daughter to catch a plane home.
But there was a cruel twist of fate.
Due to a technical failure at check-in, all flights had been cancelled that day.
So instead of fleeing, I returned to the resort.
When he realised, he wooed me, apologising so profusely that It was impossible not to forgive him.
I truly felt he was sorry, and when we eventually flew home together, we were more of a couple than ever.
By the June, we had bought a house together and moved in with our children.
This is when things started to go badly wrong.
First there was pushing and shoving – always out of sight of the children.
Then the shoves got harder and turned into slaps, followed by punches.
He smashed my head into the bathroom mirror, and my ribs were frequently broken.

Marriage is a gamble what with you not knowing how your husband or wife will treat you. Every girl has some expectations with her future husband. And being a husband a boy should look forward to make a beautiful future with would be wife and try not to judge her because of her past choices. This is a open letter to all husbands or would be husbands. so dear husbands before judging your wife for the choice she made in her past. you need to read this:
Her Past Relationships
Everyone has past experience, everyone makes wrong choice. but with passage of time everyone get clear perspective of what she want in a relationship. you should not judge her because of her bad experience in her past relationship. In fact you should be proud, “She realized, She accepted and she Moved on”.
Boys a few drop of bloods cannot decide you better half’s character. Don’t try to judge her on the basis of her virginity.
Her Personal Time
Every girl love to have her own personal time. She seek to left alone for few hours. but this does not mean she don’t love you anymore or don’t want you anymore. She might use this time to achieve her dreams or goals.
She has some responsibilities towards her parents. Don’t think that she is irresponsible if she spend some time with her parents. She know she has equal responsibilities towards your family and don’t worry she will fulfill it. Just give her sometime.
She is professionally successful, financially independent, loves to travel (sometimes alone with her own thoughts), and can even drive by herself. Rather than being irritated with her independence, take pride in marrying a girl who can manage anything and everything with her own. and feel happy when she helps you with your own little things.
Please don’t mind if she spend her salary on her parents. They nourished her, bought her up. It’s okay if she give her part of income to friends and family.

Overwhelmed by all your kind wishes – we really appreciate them and they have given my wife and I real help + made us cry!

The way you've shared Danielle's life with us has been inspirational as well as moving. We owe you and her much gratitude.
was checking your feed hoping to find good news about Danielle. I am so sorry. A terrrible loss.


The term Emotional Incest (also known as covert incest or psychic incest) describes a relationship between parents and children that is sexualized, without actual incest/sexual contact. The relationships are harmful and one-sided, and similar to a relationship between adult sexual partners but without the type of physical contact that would qualify it as child sexual abuse. The effects are similar to, though less severe, than that of actual incest. The definition of Emotional Incest has a broad set of criteria.
Basically, Emotional Incest, is a covert incest, a form of emotional abuse in which the relationship between a parent and a child is inappropriately sexualized without actual sexual contact. Often substance abuse, as seen through the alcoholic dependent needy dysfunctional parent for instance, is associated with covert incest. The effects of this covert incest somewhat mimic sexual incest but often to a lesser degree. The victims have been described as having anger or guilt towards parents and issues with self-esteem, addiction and sexual and emotional intimacy
Emotional Incest started to be recognized about 25 or 30 years ago. It has primarily been defined by the few researchers and therapists who acknowledge it and work with it, as as an emotionally abusive relationship between a parent (or step-parent) and child that does not involve incest or sexual intercourse. It involves similar interpersonal dynamics much like the relationship between sexual partners. Particularly similar to ‘old time’ seasoned partners who have gotten comfortable with each other, marriages where sex is no longer the prime purpose in their lives, but the emotional support and bond is strong between the members of the relationship.
Think of the couple that has been married for many years, sex has waned, or is non-existent, but they still rely on each other, and at times need each other, for support in their daily lives. An example, is that alcoholic mom who struggles with daily life and functioning, who is often put down by her spouse for being a drunk, so she pulls ‘jr’ aside, and talks to him, reminding him what a bastard dad is, but that only he (Jr) really understands her, and she can only go on living thanks to jr and jr being there for her! Now ‘jr’ is hooked, seduced emotionally into a power position without realizing it. Emotional Incest is a parent responding to a child’s love with adult sexuality and energy. Problems between parents often facilitate emotional incest; as the parents distance themselves from each other both physically, sexually, and emotionally, one parent then begins focusing more and more on his/her child. The child becomes the surrogate partner and source of emotional support for the parent. The abusing parent may also be afraid or unable to meet their needs through a relationship with another adult. Alcohol and other substance addictions are often present in emotional incest
Emotional Incest rears up when a parent is unable or unwilling to maintain a relationship, healthy or otherwise, with another adult and forces the emotional role of a spouse onto their child instead. The child’s needs are ignored and instead the relationship exists primarily to meet the needs of the parent. The adult usually is not aware of the issues and implications created by their actions, and justifies the relationship in a variety of ways. Emotional incest happens when parents fill their own inner emptiness by overly connecting with their child, bonding as equals and “buds”. A red flag is the parent who tells her daughter that they are like ‘sisters’ not like parent and child, they see this as a wonderful thing. Parents need to learn how to take responsibility for their own feelings so that their children do not feel this surreptitious maneuver. Mom’s hugs and attention to Jr. can be come weird after time. All young boys, reach a point where mom’s hug is ‘gross’ BUT that is normal child development. It’s when mom continues to hug and hug… and yup, hug some more with an odd energy that is felt by the kid, that starts to feel odd, but he can’t express what is wrong with it.
Early on, an affected individual can experience distress in their own personal friendships and relationships and later on, in sexual relationships. Mom’s often become jealous of the child’s friends, and makes the child feel guilty when he or she does not spend time with mom but goes off with the kids. Often, mom’s will have some very disparaging comments about the child’s friends, or make some comments after the friends are over, that makes it clear mom does not want the kids around. Then the choice is, “do I hang with my friends, or hurt my mom?” Tough call for many kids. And as pointed out later, there are perks staying with the parent, special privileges and rank in the family if there are other kids, that will occur by being loyal to mom. As my friend Valentin stated once, “support becomes a product”, i.e., “if you give me support, you will earn a tangible reward” which can range from use of the family car when older, to loans and outright dollar gifts. Covert power and control.
Emotional incest occurs when a parent sucks dry a child to fill their own inner emptiness that is really the parents responsibility to fill. The kid did not sign on as cruise directors AND therapist when they were born. Dad and Mom are supposed to give the kid energy. When a parent abandons himself or herself, gives up on the future in many ways, that parent latches on to the kid to fill the chasm that occurs from self-abandonment. While it might not be as traumatic as sexual incest, it occurs for the same reasons – a wounded parent using a child addictively to get love and avoid pain.
Emotional incest parents often feel they are being good dads and moms when they spend time talking with their kids, they might follow them into their rooms at night and visit. But it becomes focused on the parent venting about their issues and the kid is getting nothing but tired! And drained.
A parent with a gaping inner hole that comes from inner abandonment cannot just stop the emotional incest without recognizing what is going on. They need help in finding healthy sources or resources to nurture and not put the weight of THEIR world onto the child’s little shoulders. Ironically, one of the perks for the kid, is that feeling that they are strong, they are powerful, they are good cuz they can and do handle the problems of mom or dad. And dang, guess what? Many of them become … THERAPISTS, or social workers. They are the ones in the psych class who say they chose to become therapists and social workers, because they are good listeners and have been told how helpful they are by others. Certainly a parent can stop the overt actions, but to stop the energetic pull, they need to be doing their own inner work so they can learn to fill their own inner emptiness.

I've never so much really shared my story growing up for many reasons; mainly because I feel like I like to live in the "now" and not the past but I feel inspired enough now to share where I come from! Now we all come from different backgrounds, religions, etc...
My mother, Darla Gray, is my inspiration for all that I do, she is my best friend, my shoulder to lean on, the best Grandma I can ask for my daughter, and the funniest person I know!!! She was 19 when she had me and she had been married to my biological father for 2 years before she had me. She stresses, to this very day, how much she loved (and still does love) him but also stresses how many painful years he put her through. Well when I was 2 years old, they got a divorce and Mom ran away with me to get me out of the incest, drugs, alcohol abuse, and un-necessary drama to bring me into a better world with a better up bringing. I still cannot thank her enough for it after I have slowly learned what kind of life my biological father has lead for the past 21 years of my life! We'll get back to that later on in the story...
So, my mom moves to Texas from Arkansas to be with my grandparents and start a new life, and meets my step-father, James. She said he fell in love with me from the moment he met me and i grew up knowing him as "My James" but never called him Dad, i just didn't feel any comfort in calling him Dad, not to say that I didn't love him at all. They then gave me the two best things that i could ask for at that point in my life, two little bratty brothers! J.D. (James Daniel) and A.J. (Anthony Joseph). Later on when we finally decided my biological father could give a shit less about getting to know me, James stepped up and told my mother that he wanted to adopt me, so he did, and I still have his last name, GRAY. Well a few years down the road, Robert (my bio dad) calls my mom demading to see me and she basically told him he hadn't earned it nor deserved it! Well then she gave in and wanted me to have the oppurtunity to know who he was and make my judgement on him based on MY facts and understanding of him and not go by what she had told me about him (which wasn't ALL bad things). So I met him and i could not even express the nervous feeling I had in my stomach the whole time on my way to meet him! I hadn't known him for the past 10 years of my life...i was scared, to say the least!
Well I met him, my step-mom, and my brother I never knew about. It wasn't so bad but I just felt like he was still a stranger and i didn't care about him much! So we talked on and off for 3 years, the last time i talked to him for 3 more years was on my 15th birthday! After that he said he had stopped calling because he could sense that I did not want to have anything to do with him and he felt as if he were messing up my already established family! Which was true!
So I go from the age of 15 to 17 going through the most horrible teenage years you could imagine, not so much related with drugs and alcohol but more of just wanting to be independant and not getting the Independance I though I deserved. My mom and James were really strict and hardly ever allowed me to do anything outside of home, so that made me rebel BIG TIME...mainly with John, he was my boyfriend through out high school and i would sneak him in the house and do everything i can to be with him, even if it meant lying to my parents. So then it got to a point where James would get violent here and there, hitting me and my mom! You can only put up with it for so long until you just break! So when I was 17, i broke! He hit my mom and i had dealt with it for the last time, I called the cops and then got kicked out. i moved in with my Grandmother and Grandfather, come to find out was 10x worse than living at home, they never hit me or anything of that nature, they were just too anal for my teenage ways! Yea so it was definitely my fault. (I resented my mother for letting James tell me I needed to find another place to live. She was stuck in the middle, of course. Torn between her daughter and her husband!!!!!!!!)
Then after some breaking up with John and back and forth with him we finally decided to stay together and move in together, that was the biggest step i had taken in my whole life! A step for the best, i must say!!!!! So i moved in with him at 17 and he was 18, well we lived 30 minutes away from my school, it was a chore to get up and go to school everyday but i made it, i graduated my senior year on time with my diploma, which was quite an accomplishment for a young girl who had no clue on how to get a handle on the real world!
SOOOOO....after a few months of living with John, i finally had the independance i wanted, WE finally had the independance we wanted...we made a life together and I wanted my Biological father to be proud of what I had turned out to be so I FINALLY felt comfortable within myself to iniate the contact with him. So I did and now i talk and text him all the time, we are close BUT I am even closer with James, despite the past confrontations and so forth...I just like my parents a lot more when I don't live with them and now that I have established a family of my own, they are all proud of me for doing all this on my own with very little of their help!!!!
My biological father is still into the drugs for all I am concerned (per my stepmother) but now if i don't ask, they don't tell...so I like not knowing, just as long as he doesn't bring it around me and my family!!!

I am reflecting on the gift of someone choosing you as their guide, whether through life, or death. As a mother and a caregiver, I have experienced both. To be chosen for either, is an incredibly humbling thing. I have a profound and sometimes seemingly inexplicable gratitude for this. On the flip side, I am missing my papa especially hard today and am filled with such deep sorrow over both he and my mother's physical absence. Miraculous how your heart can swell with love and ache all at once. Then again, to love and to ache, really aren't such different things at all.

And so the charge today is to isolate well church, think of ways to connect with others. As the writer of Hebrews would encourage, he says, think of ways to motivate others. Think of ways to engage in acts of love. Think of ways to bless others. Think of you might be able to meet people to gather with other people virtually in this season, think of how you can encourage others to do the same. And he says, especially now is timely and right for us to receive this encouragement.

Relationships matter. It’s a simple but powerful statement that is true in most areas of life, particularly in business. Trusting and lasting business relationships fuel the creation and completion of projects that serve organizational missions. Relationships lead to new opportunities. In the federal sector, it is critical to build solid relationships between government, prime, and subcontractors through open lines of communication.
But how do you approach relationship-building? When is the right time to work on them, and with whom? We tackled these questions for the 2015 NCMA Small Business Virtual Conference, looking at relationships from both the Government perspective and the Small Business perspective. [Read more…]


From the Artist:
"Whenever I talk to people who have been together with someone for a while, the observation of 'merging' comes up. That connection between two people where the separation of 'me' versus 'you' disappears. This painting is about that bond."

I mean, here are all the ways in which JP is NOT COOL:
1. He strung Lilly on forever
2. He dumped her as soon as Mia was single
3. He then makes an immediate move for Mia
4. He tries to drive a wedge between the two
5. Is really sneaky in how he's making his move on Mia
Is it just me or is this guy super smarmy? SUPER SMARMY!
And then she goes and kisses him?! REALLY?!
Ok, so... I understand that Mia needs some more experience in order to make her love with Michael so sweet (because they WILL get back together. I demand it!) but... urgh...
Plus, how stupid is Mia to go for him? Even if Lilly is making out with Kenny these days, she should realize that this will kill her relationship with her.

Loving Portraits of Couples
Portraits of couples show the love between people.   Whether it's between parent and child, brother and sister, husband and wife, or friends, a couple's portrait shows that special relationship.
Portraits of couples can be a lot of fun because the couple is together sharing a good time while I get to photograph it. Frequently, the couple's session is photographed outdoors.   To capture their loving interaction, I take a variety of poses of the couple standing, leaning, sitting, or rolling on a blanket together and just having fun.
Sometimes the couple is a person with his pet.   These kind of portraits, with pets involved, are often a challenge but are always a lot of fun.   You can always count on the pet to liven up the session!

We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, ‘You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise you will threaten the man.’ Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support. But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors – not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.

when you leave your three year old brother in your room with your mac.


When you and your spouse are beginning to feel the sets off that make up a marriage, there are many characteristics of a successful marital relationship that you need to keep in mind.

Closeness is very important in just about any relationship and building on the emotional interconnection is one of the best ways to improve that. Learning to reveal time more proficiently is also a great approach to improve this. The more you share with the partner the more they are going to know and like you designed for who you really are which will begin to build a much better emotional connection.
Recognizing the qualities of any successful person is very important since there are some people who just seem to be friends with everyone and the same could possibly be said for people who don’t seem to get along with one another at all. If you and your spouse have different personalities and you simply have come to realize that there are personality conflicts in your marriage than these are issues that you both need to work on. By simply working on these issues you can make facts better and your relationship is a stronger one.
A successful person is person who knows how to agreement and take the problem to understand what their loved ones desire while nonetheless going aside from for them. A person who has taken the time to appreciate his/her spouse probably has a very healthy marital relationship. One who has failed to understand their particular partner probably has a marital life on shaky ground. If you find that you are not willing to agreement with your partner then you should consider getting support for your circumstances before this gets also out of hand.
Total, having a healthy and happy marriage depends on what the two partners bring to the table. If your spouse brings financial stableness to the relationship than the marriage will probably be more successful. If the partner gives loving attention and a lot of empathy to the relationship then your marriage will most likely do well. But if you will find that your spouse is completely incapable of compromise and does not care about your feelings then you certainly will definitely need to work on these types of aspects of your marriage if you would like your romance successful. Learning to make stuff work inside your marriage may require some effort on your own part nevertheless is definitely worth it in the end to make certain a long and healthy marital relationship.

Our straight-shooting sexpert Linda solves your bedroom woes, from threesome troubles to sexting dilemmas.
I've been going out with my girlfriend for seven years now and something's just not right.
When we started seeing each other I was 17 and she was 16. It was natural then for us to spend a lot of time with each other's families, but over the years nothing has changed.
I moved out for college and when I finished, I rented a room with some friends. She still lives at home and doesn't seem to have any intention of moving.
Our house can get a little rowdy and s
he says she can't sleep with the lads coming and going at all hours of the night so she prefers if I go over to hers.
We have dinner with her family and watch telly for an hour, then he takes herself off to bed while I'm left talking to her sister and Mum. Sometimes I'll head to bed a few hours later to find her wide awake and on her phone the whole time.
Neither of us is comfortable with having sex in her room, which is right next to her little sister's, so we only ever do it at my place. Every couple of months I'll complain that we haven't had sex in ages and she'll agree to come over to mine for a quickie. Then I driver her home to her house to sleep.
She has a good job and earns decent money but I think she prefers to live at home where her mum cooks all her meals and does her laundry.
But I'm really frustrated with how things are going. Is there any way I can I get her to grow up?
Yours in anticipation,
Less Interesting than an iPhone 7
One thing's for sure, there's nothing romantic about any of this. It sounds like you and your girlfriend barely spend any time together and she is certainly not putting in much effort.
Relationships can easily get stale when you've been dating for a while, but it's up to both parties to keep it interesting.
Suggest a date night once a week where you go out for a drink or a meal, take a class together or even go for a drive or a cycle. If she doesn't seem interested, sit her down for a proper chat.
Explain that you want a little fun and excitement, and that regular sex is really important to you. If she's truly happy with things the way they are, then you'll have to consider whether there's any value left in the relationship for you. Remember, there's plenty of time for a sexogenarian lifestyle when you're in your 60s!

BY LAUREN JOHNSTON
The #MeToo movement has brought on a tide of public energy in the fight against sexual harassment and assault. But, before we can address the question of what constitutes sexual harassment and assault, we need to examine our sexual culture more broadly. Doing so will hopefully shine light on what behavior is inappropriate—which will help men and women both—and help us reimagine a healthier relationship between sex and society.
To begin, the way we learn about sex is almost entirely negative. Don’t have sex; close your legs; be scared of pregnancy and STDs; don’t give yourself up to somebody who doesn’t deserve you. At the same time, we have a culture that embraces sex—to sell clothes, perfume, cigarettes, and anything up to diaper wipes and toenail clippers. Our cultural environment appeals to sexuality and is so saturated with sex that it’s hard to escape it. What’s the result of these conflicting messages? I think that, for girls especially, sexuality has been conflated with sexual objectification. There is a dichotomy between rejection of sex as physically and morally dangerous, and the glamorization and exploitation of sex to sell products, which strips us from the concept of sex within the context of pleasure and healthy relationships. We do not embrace sex for the right reasons.
In a sex-positive cultural environment, I imagine teaching the risks and rewards of sex simultaneously. Instead of a conversation that begins, “Don’t have sex, sex is bad, (you will get chlamydia and die),” we could have a conversation that highlights sex as something natural, beautiful, and as much a normal part of life as eating, sleeping, and breathing. It’s supposed to be enjoyable, not something to be scared of. It’s a way to connect with another person, not something that you do because it’s taboo, just to break the rules and show that you’re liberated.
We have taken steps, as a culture, to reclaim sex for women specifically. We have fought against the virgin-whore bind, and against the double standard that judges girls and praises boys for having sex. Today, we say to girls, “You can have sex with as many people as you want, because you are free; you can have sex without being judged for doing so.” And that is a step in the right direction. But when you think about this message, it omits the most important aspect of sex: pleasure. Enjoyment. Feeling close to another person. Exposing your physical and emotional vulnerability in an environment where you feel safe, respected, and cared for. In other words, it is not enough to say to girls that they can have sex. We need to talk about why, and in what contexts, sex is empowering—and conversely, when it is not.
Girls should learn that sex is supposed to feel good, and that sexuality is not something they should be embarrassed about. They should enter sexual encounters without feeling ashamed of their desire to orgasm, because there is no shame in sex—girls should not feel like they are losing something to another person, but gaining something for themselves. The #MeToo movement rightly brings up the issue of consent, but even the concept of consent can become problematic. The word itself means: “permission for something to happen or agreement to do something.” There is limited space in this definition for the person giving consent (usually the girl) to act willfully, because the word itself connotes the idea of the consent-giver as the passive object upon which somebody else enacts his desire. The word does not suggest reciprocal pleasure. It places the girl in the negative position, as one who gives. One reason why we don’t discuss the reciprocity of sex is because we tend to erase female sexuality. We are happy to sexualize girls’ bodies, and to advertise our own sexuality on social media (hello, Instagram), but we squirm at the thought that girls actually orgasm. Today, just because a girl will not be judged for having sex or exposing her body does not mean that the sex she has will be fulfilling or good—and we are not jumping out of our seats to correct the distinction. The conversation about what constitutes consensual sex is great, but to only talk about consent is limiting.
We need to change the terms on which sex is negotiated. We need to foreground female pleasure in the conversation—to recognize that girls have sexual desire, which assumes that they deserve to have fulfilling, consensual, and pleasurable sex, where they can expect that their partner will value her enjoyment. That is a model of sex that I believe would precipitate changes in sexual harassment and assault, for multiple reasons. First, it shifts the conversation away from one where the woman is always the vulnerable, objectified party. It places power at least somewhat back in her hands, by framing sex as mutually beneficial and a source of pleasure.
Second, I think that the line between appropriate and inappropriate behavior would become much clearer if sex itself became more enjoyable for girls. As it stands, girls are still very much objects of men’s sexual desire, where their sexuality begins and ends with a man finding them attractive. Girls’ desire or potential to orgasm from sex is still largely ignored, because heterosexual sex still privileges male sexuality. Maybe if women had more to gain from sex in the first place, they wouldn’t come away from so many encounters feeling exploited.
A logical next step for the #MeToo movement is to begin a conversation about what empowering sex looks like. Hopefully then, the boundaries of appropriate behavior would become clearer, because women and men both would know what respectful, loving sexual relationships looked like. We could more easily apply the Aziz Ansari test: sexual assault, or sexual exploitation as a result of a culture that undervalues and stigmatizes female agency and sexuality? The two are categorically different, but both are worth examining and overcoming. Let’s empower girls to speak up for what they want and view themselves as central to sex. Boys, for their part, can recognize that girls are socialized to be accommodating and to please others. Instead of exploiting that socialization for their advantage, they should help girls realize their own power.

Love stories always differ from each other with the most intriguing stories being told of how the couple met and ended up together. Most couples met in the traditional manner such as through friends; at a social event; in a bar or entertainment place and hit it off from there. However, there are also couples that met and dated through different online dating sites that provide a platform for singles that are seeking to find partners. The online dating sites are varied and target singles that have different interests and needs that they may want to share with a partner that they have developed a relationship with over time.
Flurv is an online dating website that encourages singles to sign up onto their website so as to have access to a large pool of eligible singles that they may be interested to get to know better. Flurv dating is a concept that is even found in mobile phones through an application that can be downloaded and used to access a variety of features. The features that can be accessed allow the user to connect with members similar to what they would have done when using a personal computer albeit on a smaller screen.
Flurv dating has a number of advantages that the users get to enjoy as they discover more about themselves and their partners as well. Some of the benefits may include:
First, Flurv dating is a convenient way of meeting a variety of potential partners depending on an individual’s preference and needs. Time that would have been used planning a date and using a lot of money to impress a potential partner is saved and the money as well.
Second, the identifying of an interesting person through their profile is much easier as you are aware from the beginning what you are getting into. Making comparisons and selecting the people that you would want to interact with is less emotional because you have not interacted with them on a face to face basis.
Third, Flurv dating opens up the possibility of having a relationship with a person from any part of the world. This is because the website is open to the world as long as they are able to meet the requirements set out by the owners. Furthermore, the applications are available in different languages making communication easier for those who English is not their first language.


Why You Should Get Marriage Counseling Services.
Every person hopes that after marriage everything will go as planned. Hoping for the best is okay but it will not be so if you do not work on that marriage. As much as some of these challenges should be expected, very few people come up with a way of solving their differences as a couple before typing the Know. Every partner always wants to win in an argument and solving challenges requires a third party and the best person for such a job is a marriage counselor.
There are people who go to a therapist when their marriage is beyond saving and it is not advisable to wait until things have gotten out of hand completely to seek the services. Couples should know the right time to seek the advice of a neutral person. One of the factors that should make you decide to visit a therapist is when you have stopped talking to your partner. Lack of communication is one of the vices that lead to problems between married couples and it is bad that many are not able to realize this early enough. If you think marriage counseling is expensive, you will end up losing your lifetime partner. Also, go to an infedility counselor Austin in case of cheating.
There are couples who communicate but the words are always on the negative side. If one of the partners is always getting a negative backlash he or she will be insecure, ashamed and this makes him or her withdrawn because of being disregarded.
Remember in communication, it is not just your words that will hurt your partner but your the tone you are using which means if it is wrong even the communication will be wrong. Seek the services of a marriage counselor if you are afraid of talking to your partner concerning issues which are hurting your relationship. There are many minor things in marriage which can make you afraid of talking to your partner ranging from sexual practices and money to the little habits your partner is used to. At the therapists’ office, the feelings of each partner will be aired and the issues you are afraid of talking about analyzed to help you understand the best way of handling them.
There are people who opt to withhold affection towards their partners in order to punish them. This is wrong in many ways and if it is something you are going through or you are doing to your significant other you need to get the help of a marriage counselor.


Nextdoor Neighbor Bullying My Son
I'm in total shock to the whole situation as I write this... and I am needing a bit of advice. Please don't judge me, I am just looking for a little guidance here.
I have always been more of an old fashioned parent. My kids are homeschooled, so don't have to deal with many of the issues that come about with bullying, but because my son meets friends easily and he has gotten many compliments on how friendly and caring he is, and we have a large group of kids that they have met in our neighborhood that play on a regular basis. The next door neighbor (a girl - 12), and my son - 10, became good friends when we moved in, they played often. I did notice then, that they would bicker at each other every now and then, but nothing major. Then, a new boy moved into the neighborhood that my son started playing with, they became good friends too. I always told my son that everyone can be friends and to include each other when playing, and he would. The girl didn't like the fact that Troy had started playing with the boy and wanted Troy to play only with her, and soon started creating conflict. There have been several statements made by the girl trying to make my son and the other boy to not be friends, such as saying my son was using the boy for his pool and didn't really like him as a friend. As time has gone on, the girl has seemed to start bullying my son. She compares his things to hers and says hers are better than his... he had a birthday party, and when my son asked if she had fun, she said "it was alright, I've seen better". My son got a scooter, and she had to put him down and say his scooter doesn't have the right parts, etc. Each time this happened, my son would come to me and tell me what she said. I just told my son he didn't have to be friends with her, and maybe if he talked with her and told her he didn't like what she was saying, she would stop. It continued, and she started saying things like "nobody likes you in the neighborhood", "I'm not going to be your friend if...", and the latest was when she said she is smarter than him because he's homeschooled.
As for my "old fashioned" values, what ever happened to when parents were trusted and able to look out for one another and their children? Being able to talk to a child that isn't yours about their actions? Sometimes a talk from another parent outside of the family can get through to them more than the parent... especially if the child is denying any wrong doing. I have noticed that our neighbors don't have very good parenting to begin with as the older teen daughter of theirs has many issues, we've heard some arguments and screaming in the house, shaved her head, has a mohawk and is allowed to do whatever she wants and dress however she wants, and I now know that even if we confronted the parents, they would brush it off as typical bickering of kids between my son and their daughter.
If my son were confronted by another parent about behavior it would not bother me, and I would want to know what happened to help my son correct his behavior and resolve the issue, but thankful that another parent was there to help. Isn't that what a responsible parent should do? Maybe I am totally wrong on this and my old fashioned thinking, but the whole situation came about when my husband confronted the girl who was bullying my son about their actions. It was done in a calm manner, not mean, just letting them know that what they were doing was not right. It seems as though parents these days have brought their kids up with a sense of entitlement, making it easier for them to think their actions are ok. When confronted, she completely denied everything, saying she didn't say or do those things. She acted with a very smart-ass attitude and didn't seem to really feel sorry even though she apologized. My husband was only trying to tell her to be nice because if she wants to keep my son as a friend and bullying and talking negative isn't going to help. She did start to cry after my husband was done talking with her, I think she did start to feel bad about what she was doing. She went to her parents, which we were going to talk with as well, but did go to the girl first in this case.
The mother came over furious that we had talked with her daughter and made her cry, and didn't go to them first. When trying to apologize about not going to them first, she wouldn't listen, and continued to yell about how our son was never allowed to play with her daughter again and that her daughter would never act that way. She then left our property. I went back in, and then decided to go back out and try to settle it with her husband who was more calm. When I started to try and talk with him about it, she came out screaming and yelling, and wouldn't let me or my husband explain what was happening or even apologize for that matter. It all seemed very childish to me, especially when the neighbor decided to get in my face, wanting to fight, along with the girl's mother all because I wanted to talk about this calmly and kept asking them to stop yelling. I just kept my calm, and stood there. I kept asking, can't we talk like adults here instead of the screaming and yelling? No... that wouldn't happen. So the biggest question on my mind is, are they more concerned with us not going to them first, or the reality that their daughter is bullying my son and putting him down every chance she gets? Not once did they let me speak about the situation at this point. My husband was finally able to talk with the girl's husband about it, but he just brushed it off as being kids. I can completely understand if this was just a small issue and they were bickering about something that would eventually pass, but this is a form of bullying and my son who comes to me everyday with something else she has said or done, is clearly bothered.
What is the matter with this country today? Why are children given a sense of entitlement and able to get away with more and more wrong behavior? What they did and how they handled the situation, I believe has just solidified in the girl's mind that it is ok for her to act that way and it doesn't matter. All the parents seem to care about is that their little girl was crying and hurt, completely ignoring the fact that her behavior is wrong and needs to be handled because it has been hurting my son.
This is our next door neighbor, so to make it even more awkward, we are dealing with parents who don't even really care to know what happened and why we needed to talk with her or resolving the issue in a civil manner. I know we probably made a mistake of confronting the girl first, and should have gone to the parents, but you would think they would be more concerned with what was happening and the real issue here. Any advice would be great, but please, no judging me. As parents, we only meant well and wanted to resolve the issues my son and their daughter were having.

Mothers' Day thoughts - The Greatest Gift
I have been blessed with enjoying life with ten children. Seven I gave birth to and three were the precious gift of my marriage. I love them each dearly. They are all just really good people with tremendous minds, hearts, and sense of humor. They are without a doubt the greatest gifts, my husband and I, could ever give or receive from this world. To the two kids that I lost before they were born, I lift my love and I am grateful to have had you with me, even for the short while you were here. To my mom, thank you for life and all the love you have given. To all mothers, I hope this day is just one which celebrates the gift you have given (and received) all the other days throughout the year! Happy Mothers' Day!

Going through a divorce can be an immensely stressful and challenging process. However, one way to ease the burden is by opting for a simple divorce agreement in India.
A simple divorce agreement, also known as an uncontested divorce, is a legal agreement that is signed by both parties in a divorce without the need for a trial or complex litigation. It is a straightforward and quick way to end a marriage and move on with your life.
In India, the legal process for a simple divorce agreement is governed by the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. This act lays down the conditions and requirements for couples seeking a divorce. According to the act, a couple can obtain a divorce on the grounds of cruelty, desertion, adultery, conversion to another religion, unsoundness of mind, and incurable diseases.
To obtain a simple divorce agreement in India, both parties must agree to the divorce and settle on matters related to child custody, property division, and alimony payments. Once both parties have agreed on these matters, they can file a joint petition for divorce in court.
The court will then examine the petition and ensure that all the legal requirements have been met. If the court is satisfied, it will grant the divorce decree and issue a certificate of divorce. This certificate is proof that the divorce has been finalized and both parties are free to remarry.
One of the key benefits of a simple divorce agreement in India is that it is much quicker and cheaper than a contested divorce. Since there is no need for a trial or complex litigation, the process can be completed within a few months, depending on the court`s workload.
Another benefit is that it is less adversarial and more amicable than a contested divorce. Since both parties have agreed on the terms of the divorce, there is less room for conflict and hostility. This can help to reduce the emotional stress and trauma of the divorce process.
In conclusion, a simple divorce agreement in India is a straightforward and quick way to end a marriage and move on with your life. It is a less adversarial and more amicable option than a contested divorce and can help to reduce the emotional stress and trauma of the divorce process. If you are considering a divorce, it is worth exploring this option with your legal advisor.

At some point, I have to consider the possibility that I'm the one who causes all the problems in the (potential) relationship. There is absolutely no reason not to like Nice Guy; we can talk for hours, he is more than interested in me, we have so many things in common that I'm constantly surprised - so what's wrong with me that I don't feel anything when we're together - not aversion, not excitement, not boredom, not anticipation, not anything.
I met some girlfriends at a local place after dinner with NG; after a few pints, we met additional girlfriends at another local place. Guys everything - none of them paying the least bit of attention to me, but that's generally the case. As one of the girls explained to me tonight (after several rum and cokes, or perhaps she wouldn't have been so honest): "Honey, no guy is ever going to come up to you in a bar. You're too...you're just...you don't need them and they know it. Guys don't like independence. You need to be a little more needy." Oh, but I am - but I'm not about to show it.

A story of two. Tell me about the magic spark. I'm here to create a space that you feel comfortable in. One that is open to vulnerability, and for deepening your relationship with one another. A space where you can embrace the little intimate moments. The butt grabs. The touches unique to the two of you. The soft and passionate kisses. The moments before and between. And the after. I know how big of a deal photos are. They're the ONE thing you can hang up on your wall, save as your phone background, and send to your parents so they'll stop asking you if you're dating anyone.


Open Hearts. Open Minds. Strong Values.
Workshop with Rabbi Amy Eilberg: Arguing with our Kids
When people live together, even in the most loving of families, conflicts erupt. At times our kids behave badly, and sometimes we do too. We will reflect on our own experiences as parents and explore Jewish sacred texts that can inspire us to turn disagreements at home into a path for deepened relationship with the people we love the most.

As the author reflects on love across the colour line, it triggers memories of failed affairs and bizarre experiences: love spells, toxic masculinity, infidelity, sexually transmitted diseases, a phantom pregnancy, sexless relationships, threesomes and prostitution, to name but a few."


we knew each other for almost 15 years.
so many things had happened.
we got our own dark past once.
we met again.
in a different situation and feel.
praying for the best.
for both of us.
now and then and forever ever after.
May Allah help us to get the bless from both side.

Chapter 2918: A Woman’s Instinct Is Very Accurate
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor:
“Not really.” Qiao Mianmian thought for a while and added, “Do you remember the auction we attended that night?”
“Auction?” Mo Yesi thought for a while and nodded. “Mm, I remember. What about it?”
“Don’t you remember my brother having an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with a pretty lady at the banquet that night? I feel like their relations.h.i.+p isn’t ordinary, especially the way my brother looks at that lady. I feel like they must have a story.”
Mo Yesi raised an eyebrow. “So?”
“Lheard from my brother that the girlfriend he brought back this time isn’t the girl from that night.”
“[ roughly understand.” Mo Yesi smiled. “You think that the girlfriend your brother brought back this time might not be what he really likes? And that the woman from the auction is the one he really likes?”
Qiao Mianmian pursed her lips and nodded. “Yes.”
Why did she think so?
It was probably a woman’s intuition.
Most of the time, a woman’s intuition was very accurate.
“Baby, how many men and women do you think will end up together just because they like each other? Or how many men and women get married and start a family because they love each other?” Mo Yesi asked with a smile.
“Mm?” Stunned, Qiao Mianmian thought for a while before shaking her head and replying, “I don’t know. But I’ve seen some statistics before. It seems like… the proportion of people who get married because they love each other is small.
“Most of them are suitable for each other.”
“Mm, that’s true.” Mo Yesi a.n.a.lyzed it for her. “Let’s not talk about other things. In our circle, we value the benefits of being compatible and powerful. Very few people pursue so-called love.
“Even if they do, the elders won’t agree if they aren’t from the same family circle.
“No matter how much they love each other, one of them will eventually compromise.”
Stunned for a few more seconds, Qiao Mianmian looked up at him and blinked. “But we and Luo Luo and Big Brother aren’t together for benefits.”
“That’s because Big Brother and I don’t have to rely on our family to live. So, we can consider the opinions of the elders, but we don’t have to listen to them. They can’t control what Big Brother and I want to do.
“So, we can do whatever we want.
“But such a situation is rare. Most people’s marriage matters still have to be arranged by the family. Do you think Shaoqing is very free, easygoing, and playing all day? But he can’t decide on his marriage unless he abandons his current ident.i.ty, discarding the superior life his family gives him.”
Qiao Mianmian bit her lip. “But I think Big Brother can make his own decisions. Moreover, Mom and Dad aren’t picky people. They don’t have to be compatible.”
“Your brother can indeed decide his own marriage.” Mo Yesi agreed with her, but then added, “But the person he wants to marry might not be willing to marry him..”


Let’s real talk about Avatar Korra and her mentor Tenzin (bc they’re the actual best):
- both have had very high expectations placed upon them from early ages, their identities and self-understanding have been defined by their legacy to Avatar Aang (both of them are compared to him and measure their worth against his). (Aang wouldn’t like that btw).
- both of them are really (like really) stubborn and short-tempered (and sometimes fools about feelings, their own and other’s) leading to a lot of fights. also this is partly bc neither of them are in touch w/ their true selves or are balanced individuals. :((Tenzin’s made mistakes re Korra, i.e. being too controlling and putting her in a compound, but he’s always had her best interest at heart and isn’t afraid to apologize to her. they both hAVE TO LEARN FOR THEM TO WORK.
- Tenzin was the first person Korra opened up to about her inner fears and he completely accepted her, in fact he was just really worried about her. (punch me in the face i’m already on the floor). also they are spiritually related and basically have a daughter/father relationship, Tenzin opens his house to all Korra’s friends and they just luv each other a lot ok. <3<3 also korra is spiritual big sis to tenzin’s bbies (and kinda bff with my other fave girl Jinora)
- (seriously I cry whenever they hug).
- they are set up to be a mentorship w/ Tenzin guiding and teaching Korra how to be the Avatar. a lot of heroes outgrow, loose or remain inferior to/directed by their mentor, but uuuh-noho maybe ur faves but never tenzin and korra.<3 their actual arcs have them paralleling each other really strongly, and have each of them confronting the unhealthy idealization/self-perceptions they’ve internalized and dismantling the identities they build as a reflection of the expectations their surroundings placed upon them. Let go of your attachment to who you think you are cryyyyy me a riiver.
- Rather than teaching Korra who to be, Tenzin tells Korra to be herself & that he’ll support her no matter what. asjksaduni4uncRYYY he supports her decision to go against 10000 yrs of trusted tradition !!!11!!
- Basically Korra becomes like an equal to Tenzin halFWAY THROUGH THE STORY. like openly an equal & also more like a friendship between an adult&a teen than a mentorship, Tenzin has great respect for Korra and listens to the advice she gives him. when will you learn -> you’ve grown to be a pretty wise avatar after all wHY DON’T YOU JUST PUNCH ME IN THE THROAT AND RIP OUT MY HEART.
- tl;dr: they understand each other in ways probably no one else does (& appreciate when they get help understanding the parts of the other they don’t), they give each other advice, they respect each other, they love each other. As characters their relationship is full of symbolism and parallels, and they help each other learn more about themselves. (also have I mentioned how much they love and care about each other bc I have many feels about this).
- aka THE VERY BEST mentorship of all time, (ok maybe it’s not the best of all time have not made qualitative/quantitative research, but it is my #1 fave of all time). ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ (ps PLEASE DO LISTEN TO ‘HE LIVES IN YOU’ FROM THE LION KING 2 AND HAVE FEELINGS BC KORRA/TENZIN/AANG. (you don’t have to but you could if you want to cry)).

April 14th- Daily Autism Post- Aspie Honesty
Dexter- Mom, I love you so much. Hug me and pet Tori. Me- I love you too, Dexie. SO much. I'm lucky that you are mine. Dexter- I am too. I love Dad more though.
This conversation from earlier today isn't the first time he's told me this. I think most parents would be hurt to have a child say something like this to them, but if you really know and understand Dexter, there is nothing hurtful here.
First, Dex has a very limited number of people he likes to snuggle with and probably even fewer that he volunteers the words "I love you" to without being told that first. When he says it to me, when he asks for affection, my heart sings. I know that he means it. He DOES love me.
Second, for him, if he's saying something that is true, he sees nothing wrong with the statement. He's told me that Dad is taller, but I am wider. He's called an elderly woman "really old." He told someone who was yelling at their child that they were disrespectful. In his mind, we tell the truth. When you are stating a fact, it's true. Sometimes it isn't until after he says it that he realize that even though it's true, it may hurt someone's feelings.
Lastly, this doesn't hurt my feelings. It's not about ranking. (Let's be honest, I think Tori ranks above me too.) What it IS about is Dexter having someone that he loves deeply and he knows understands him. Not someone who is just compassionate, but really REALLY understands him. He has that in his Dad. He knows that I will be there for every meltdown, every frustrating day, every homework assignment he doesn't think he can do. But he can look at Shawn and see someone who is different like him. It doesn't make me sad that he says he loves Shawn more. Not even a little. Every time he says it, my heart swells with pride. My baby has an AMAZING father. How could I be sad about that!?
The bad... Sometimes Dex comes off as rude and insulting.
The good... It's never intentional, and he's quick to apologize when he finds he's hurt someone's feelings. I'm amazed at his willingness to apologize when he knows he did something wrong. (Now, when he feels his words or actions were warranted, getting an apology is like squeezing blood from a rock, and when you do get it, it's clearly not heartfelt.) ;)

love, i have wounds only you can mend

How To Find the Perfect Sex Meet
Be picky. Just because it seems like everyone else around you is in a relationship doesn’t mean you should settle for just anyone in order to be in a relationship, too. Think about your own interests and find someone who shares them with you–or at least cares enough about you to take time to do the things you love. You don’t have to have everything in common, but you should at least enjoy spending time together!
Be selfish. When looking for the person who is going to spend the rest of your life with you, think about yourself first. Does that person treat you well, or do they prefer to be with their friends rather than you? Are they demanding of you, or do they seek to meet your needs? Answering these questions early in the relationship can keep you from certain disaster later.
Meet their family and friends. You can quickly learn a lot about your potential mate by seeing how he or she behaves with family and friends. On a date, you will only see the side of them that is trying to impress you, but people tend to act more like themselves when around the people who know them the best. If they treat the ones they love well, you may be fortunate to be one of those well-treated people in the near future.
Meet and Fuck – Online Sex Meets
Watch for early warning signs. If your potential mate is constantly canceling on you, beware! This could be the early sign that they just aren’t as interested in you as you are in them. Watch out if they are spending more of their free time with friends than with you because this is probably how your life will always be. Pay attention to your potential mate’s habits, and give them the heave-ho if they aren’t meeting your standards for your dream mate!
Relax and have fun. One of the best ways to kill a relationship before it has even started is to be too eager for a relationship. Unfortunately, you’re probably going to have to go out on some pretty awful dates before you find the one you really want. The advantage, however, of going on all those bad dates is that you will be even more confident of what you want when you find your perfect mate.
Tips & Warnings
- Have fun dating while you look for your perfect mate.
- Seek after your own happiness first.
- Remember to live life instead of waiting for someone to come along to live with you.
- Don’t give up just because you’ve had a few bad dating experiences!
- Don’t forget to enjoy the people who are already in your life!

I love seeing my own parents playing with my daughters, their eyes lightning up and amazed by every little thing my daughters say or do. And it’s not only the grandparents that benefit from frequent and positive contact with their grandchildren. When the relationship between parents and grandparents is solid, the whole family benefits. To mention a few advantages involving grandparents; the children are in a loving and familiar environment, they keep the grandparents young and the parents get some time off (O yeahh!). If the grandparents are happy to take care of the children on a regular basis, some financial benefits kick in as well (less money needed for day care).
At the baby stage, it may be fairly simple to leave your baby with the grandparents. You hand over your baby’s schedule, bottles milk and that’s pretty much it. But when your baby grows into a toddler, a lot more parenting decisions need to be made. Different or conflicting ideas on upbringing can put the relationship with your parents or – more often – in laws under pressure. I know a parent or two who gladly pays the extra money for day-care, just so she doesn’t have to deal with her mother in law. And even if you and your children don’t see the grandparents every week, conflicts about the upbringing of your children can come up. You are not alone; these are some examples from parenting forums:
‘’My in-laws live nearby and are very indulgent with my 16-month-old. I’m worried that they’re spoiling him. I try to be firm and set limits as much as I can, but I get tired of being the bad guy. What should I do? ‘’
‘’ I have just had an insane run in with my in-laws because of a decision we made for our daughter. It almost cost my husband and I a divorce.’’
‘’ I have already had one conversation with my Mum after she gave him 3 custard creams (!!) and said that if he’s had one he doesn’t need another and not a 3rd’’
I repeat, you are not alone. It’s hard enough to agree with your partner on food, routines or whether the children go to the church, let alone with your parents or in-laws as well. And I know It is hard to keep cool when your mother in law keeps saying that you dress your children like clowns. Or not to get crazy mad when your kids throw up in the car because your dad stuffed them with 8 large pancakes with Nutella (why?!). But, freaking out and getting into a fight will make things only worse.
How to keep it cool- game plan mode on!
The following tips may help to get yourself in the right headspace to influence the grandparents in such a way that they will respect your parenting choices easier and more often:
- Think about how your parents or in-laws have been brought up themselves and their knowledge on parenting. Maybe they were poor with hardly any toys to play with and just enough food to get by. The stuffing of your children may come from whatever they lacked. You may realize their – to you – weird perspective doesn’t come from a bad place, but rather their own circumstances or lack of knowledge.
- Get your partner on the same page. It’s important to form a front together in front of grandparents, your children and the rest of the world. If the father of your children doesn’t mind the candy the grandmother gives them, first agree on the rules with your partner and then communicate the joint rule to your mother in law as a team.
- Communicate the reasons behind your parenting choices clearly. In general, the grandparents will accept your parenting style sooner if they know ‘the whys’. Don’t assume the reason behind a particular parenting preference or choice is obvious. What may come to you as obvious, may not be for the grandparents (see #1).
- Choose your battles wisely. Suppose these two situations are bothering you: a) your in-laws give your toddler a cookie each time he visits them (every two weeks) and b) each month, they buy enough toys for 10 children. Concerning 1), you would rather not have your toddler eat sugar. As far as point b goes, you are not particularly delighted by the fact that your home is gradually turning into a toy store. Thinking about the cookie situation, will it hurt your toddler in the long run to eat one cookie every two weeks? Probably not. Ok, you can let that one go. Concerning two, can you somehow keep the number of toys under control without confronting the grandparents? Sure, you can set a rule that when your children get a new toy from grandpa and grandma, they must donate an old toy to poor children. This way, you save your ‘battles’ for the important issues, keeping the relationship more pleasant.
- Leave your toddler out of it. Even small children understand a lot of what is being said so don’t talk bad about their beloved grandparents in front of them. Don’t put them in the middle, they can be very sensitive and will get their feelings hurt.
What if nothing helps?
What if you did everything you could and still the grandparents don’t respect your parenting choices? If that’s the case, guard your boundaries (respectfully). At the end of the day, you and your partner are the parents and everyone else should respect your choices, whether they like it or not. They will understand that you have the power to withdraw their grandchildren from them (a last resort!) and that fact alone should be enough to finally give in.
In case of in-laws, it may be that your partner is comfortable with going to his or her parents, while you would rather spend a night in jail (or the other way around). If so, have your partner go to his or her parents and take the children with them. You can restrict the visits to holidays and birthdays. More mommy-me-time for you and less opportunity for disagreements between you and the grandparents – a clear win-win!
Of course, in the extreme situation that the grandparents put your toddler in danger or hurt them in any way, they don’t get to see their grandchildren any more. Otherwise, I truly believe everyone will benefit more from a subtler approach as described above.


Relationships, Just be yourself <3
If I am with you then I want to know the real you, I want for us to be able to act silly around each other and just be comfortable you know? Remember I’m with you because I like who you are and I like how happy you make me, so there is no reason pretending to be somebody you are not, I like you regardless of what other people may think of you because it’s not up to them to pick who I am with, That decision is up to me and I want to be with you, I want to call you mine. Just be you and just be honest with me because I promise you I’ll do the same to you. Point is act silly, laugh, be you, and let’s enjoy each other’s company.
