Being Fully Present with others
We all desire to be ourselves and be with other people. Sometimes that is a challenge and difficult. If you would like to know a bit more on being fully present with others, then this can help you begin the journey towards "present with"
“The ability to be present in the moment is a major component of mental wellness” - Abraham Maslow
Fully Present Observed
I observed a couple the other day in a place I was having lunch who really caught my attention. It wasn’t because of what I was hearing within their conversation so much, but just how they acted with each other. This couple was clearly at a deeper level of their relationship (although they were quite young) than most people I observe. What struck me as valuable, amazing, and different than most couples I meet and have coached, is that they displayed some of the following characteristics with each other:
· For the most part they looked at each other when talking or listening
· They had moments of conversation, reflection, open time - when they looked
around, and other aspects of relational engagement together
· Their non-verbal postures spoke as openly and distinctively as their verbal
· Finally, for lack of proper description, there was a deeper weight and value in how
they treated each other.
At first, I thought this was some kind of staging, like that of a drama scene being acted out. But the longer I observed this couple, the more genuine and authentic they showed themselves. I am by no means portraying them as a “perfect” couple, I did see a few moments of human inconsistency. But overall, I was drawn in to they unscrambled and well blended interactions of these two people.
This couple, who did text once and a while, were distinctively present in the moment with each other. They conveyed that they were aware of themselves as differentiated people. Still, they would set aside their individuality with little effort, it seemed, when the other engaged with the person. This got me asking a few key questions for all of us:
What does it mean to be fully present with someone?
What can you do to increase being more present with a person rather than fading relationally in and out?
How can you prepare for your time with someone (even if you have only a few seconds) to be self-aware without being self-absorbed to be openly present together?

She...Stupid tears,She... by WitchHazelgz
Damn why can't she smile,
Seems like it's taking her a while... to understand.
Dress her up like a plastic,
But she's not materialistic,
She doesn't like it,
Seems she can't commit.
Stuck in traffic,
Feeling so sick,
So not used to this,
Wanting his deep kiss.
Unicorns are just pretend,
Her mind's here in this dead end,
Wanting fantasies to come true,
Drowning down inside her deep blue.
Those fields of green have faded away,
Now they both have nothing to say,
She's used to seeing him every day...
What shall she do,
All those close to her seem so few.
Her too guys...
Her best friend,
Her boy friend,
They seem as if they're both fading,
There's someone who's always blockading... her...
That sweet caress of the one she loves,
That happy smile that makes her feel like she's flying with doves.
The high fives that she gets from her right hand man,
The way he makes her happy when no one else can.
She loves them both but not in the s

Love is powerful. Love heals. Love protects. Love saves. Love is peace. Love transcends.
LOVE, IS THE FINAL FRONTIER.
The word “love” used to make me feel uncomfortable. I didn’t understand it. I felt uncomfortable saying that word, especially when it dealt with people. For the first 26 years of my life, I didn’t say the words, “I love you” to anybody, but my mom. I wasn’t secure in myself to use that word. Like most people who use the English language as their primary form of communication, they only think of the word “love” to describe one of two feelings: 1. someone you have deep romantic feelings for, or 2. what you tell your mom before you hang up the phone.
However, most other languages in the world have many different definitions and meanings for the word love. In the Greek language, there are four different ways the word “love” is used:
Agape: Agape love is said to be the highest form of love – the love of God for man and man for God…some call this “Christian love.” 1 John 4:8 says, “God is love.” This type of love is goodwill, faithfulness, commitment, and and an act of will…basically Agape love is always shown by what it does (read Love Does, by Bob Goff).
Eros: This type of love is for all my married people out there…where’s Marvin Gay when you need him? Eros means intimate or romantic love.
Philia: This love is for all my homies. Philia means “brotherly love.”
Storge: This means family love – the deep love of a parent toward a child or a child’s love to a parent. Having children now, this love is truly unlike any love I knew existed.
On a serious note, let me preface by saying that some people miss-use this word to manipulate other people’s emotions or feelings for sexual or other reasons to improve their personal wants and desires. This is wrong and I’m praying for these people. Don’t ever do that please. If you have ever been on the other end of a “false love” you understand the pain this feels. Love is the most powerful emotion we can feel and emit. Love is a word that shouldn’t just be thrown around, but used when truly felt. Let’s use love for good and nothing else. Don’t just tell me, show me – true love is that way – through actions, not just words.
So, back to my story with the word love. It took me into my mid 30’s to finally understand all four Greek definitions of love. Meeting my wife Kendra, I felt feelings of “Eros” and all other kinds very quickly (for the record I said “I love you” first)…she’s definitely the best decision I ever made. “Storge” love, made sense and I’ve always had love for my family..though I’m still working on telling everyone in my family that I love them…it’s easy for me to tell my aunties and girl cousins, but my guy to guy expressions can improve (hey, I’m still a work in progress). My biggest growth has been with my “Philia” love. I used to never tell my close friends “I love you,” but luckily for me I have been blessed with several close friends, who have taught me that it doesn’t make me less of a man to express Philia love by saying, “I love you bro.” #charlymartin #chadveach #johanfriis can you # people?…well, I just did.
My freshman year at WSU, we were playing the University of Hawaii in their house for the last game of the year. It was a rebuilding year for us. We only had 2 wins that season and needed a “W” desperately. It was late in the 4th quarter and we were holding onto a lead. I was one of three true freshman that by the end of that year was a regular starter…one of those players was Seattle Seahawk legend and who is also from the (253), Marcus Trufant. We needed this win and needed a big play. Tru came up with a huge interception to seal the game and I remember giving him a big hug and saying, “I LOVE YOU MAN!!!” This was very out of character for me because I never used that word. I was pumped that we were going to win and my guy made a big play. After saying that, I remember internalizing, “Well he didn’t say it back, am I a ‘nerd’ for saying that?…”
I think a lot of us don’t understand love…just like me all those years ago. I was not advanced enough to understand God’s love – agape love. Agape love is unconditional and expecting nothing in return. This type of love doesn’t care how much money you makes, how you look, where you came from, or what your talents are. Agape love embraces a universal, unconditional love that transcends and serves no matter the context, situation, or condition. In the end, love wins…it always does.
When I put my kids down for bed each night, I say the same prayer over them every time. After first thanking the Lord for this unspeakable gift and blessing, I ask Him for their protection and safety. Then I conclude by asking for 3 things that center around LOVE:
- That they Love God first,
- That they love themselves how they are made unique and special, and
- Third, that they love and serve others.
I call this the REAL Love Triangle! I’m challenging you to ask the same for yourself. Put God first in your life – “In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct and crown your efforts with success.” (Proverbs 3:6). This priority is where it all starts. Secondly, if you are able to be thankful for how you are made unique, different, and special in your own way to serve a purpose specifically designed for you; if you truly love yourself and have no need to compare or envy others; this will take your life to the next level and will create absolute peace and purpose in your journey. Lastly, loving and serving others is the 3rd pathway to happiness and success. When you give without expectation, you will live an abundant life. Give it a try – if you love in that order, your world will change to a life you have never seen before…and it will just get better and better each day.
So when you are in doubt on how to handle a situation, or what to say or act when you have to make a decision…ALWAYS CHOOSE LOVE. Love wins every time.
This concludes my series: 30 Days of Gratitude and Service. Thank you for taking this journey with me. Check back in for more inspirational posts, stories, and updates. Have a blessed day.


What Can Be Used as Proof of Relationship Documents UK for UK Partner Visa Applications?
If you are applying for a UK partner visa, you will be required to show proof of relationship documents UK for your relationship with your partner. Find out more about what kind of evidence you can provide to the Home Office to prove that your relationship with your partner is genuine and subsisting.
Call us at +44 20 7339 3042 for immediate assistance with your UK partner visa application. We are available to assist you in person, over the phone, or online. Get in touch with our Immigration lawyers today.
Difference Between Spouse Visa and UK Partner Visa
The UK Partner Visa route allows partners of British citizens, persons with indefinite leave to remain, persons with Pre-settled status, and persons with refugee status or humanitarian protection to join or stay with them in the UK. It is important to note that the UK Partner Visa or the UK Family Visa category is divided into four sub-categories, with each category dealing with a specific type of partnership as detailed below:
- Spouse Visa UK – allows married partners of British and settled persons to live in the UK;
- Unmarried Partner Visa UK – allows unmarried partners of British or settled persons to live in the UK;
- Fiance Visa UK – allows fiances of British and settled persons to enter the UK for the purpose of registering their marriage within 6 months of their entry to the UK.
- Civil Partnership Visa UK – allows civil partners of British and settled persons to live in the UK;
To qualify for a UK Partner Visa in any of the above sub-categories, you will need to prove to the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) that you satisfy the relationship aspect of a Partner Visa application.
What is the Proof of Relationship Documents UK Requirement?
- To meet the Proof of relationship documents Uk requirement of a UK Partner Visa application, you must demonstrate to the UKVI that:
- Both you and your partner are 18 years of age or above at the time of your application;
- (If you are applying for a UK Spouse Visa) your marriage to your partner must be valid;
- You must not be so closely related to your partner that your marriage may be prohibited under UK laws;
- Your previous marriage or partnership must have broken down;
- If you are applying as an unmarried partner, you must have lived together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least two years;
- Your relationship with your partner is genuine and subsisting.
If you have previously been granted a UK Partner Visa and you are applying for an extension of the same visa, you are required to satisfy the UKVI that your relationship with your partner is continuing to subsist.
You Must Not Be Closely Related to Your Partner
Whether you are applying as a married or unmarried partner, you must show the UKVI that you are not so closely related to your partner that you would be prohibited from entering into your relationship under UK laws (the Marriage Acts 1949 to 1986, the Marriage (Scotland) Act 1977 and 1986, the Marriage (Northern Ireland) Order 2003, the Civil Partnership Act 2004 and the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014).
Under UK laws, it may be unlawful for you to enter into a relationship with your partner if you and your partner are related within one of the following categories:
- Adoptive child;
- Adoptive parent
- Former adoptive child
- Former adoptive parent
- Parent’s sibling (aunt or uncle)
- Sibling (brother or sister)
- Sibling’s child (nephew or niece) In this context, ‘sibling’ means a brother, sister, half-brother or half-sister.
Generally, the Home Office Application Form requires a declaration from the applicant that they are not a party to a prohibited relation and that declaration is considered sufficient with no further evidence required.
The Genuine and Subsisting Relationship
One of the main requirements of a Partner Visa application is to show that your relationship is genuine and subsisting. The UKVI (Home Office) wants to make sure that you do not enter into a sham relationship or marriage in order to obtain a UK visa and has, therefore, introduced the genuine and subsisting relationship requirements that all UK Partner Visa applicants must satisfy.
The Home Office is aware that every relationship is different, and each relationship starts develops and form in different circumstances and against different cultural backdrops. As a result, the Home Office will assess the genuine and subsisting proof of genuine relationship UK requirement on a case-by-case basis and in view of the individual facts of your case. When assessing the genuine and subsisting relationship, the Home Office will take into account cultural and religious factors where such factors have been raised by the applicant or where those factors are apparent.
Evidence of a Genuine and Subsisting Relationship
To satisfy the Home Office that your relationship is genuine, you will need to provide sufficient evidence to prove the same on the balance of probabilities. In assessing this, the Home Office will look at:
- Information you provide in the body of your application form;
- Information you provide in the form of personal letters or statements;
- Letters of support from family members, relatives or friends commenting on the detail and chronology of your relationship with your partner;
- Any representations you make in support of your application.
The Home Office Guidance does not specify what documents you need to provide to prove the genuine and subsisting relationship. Therefore, the evidence you provide depends entirely on your circumstances. For example, if you are applying as a married partner,it is not always necessary to provide evidence of living together with your partner for extended periods of time if you married outside the UK and your partner returned to the UK soon after your marriage. In circumstances such as these, the Home Office will understand that lack of evidence of living together is due to personal circumstances including the Sponsoring partner’s inability to spend extended periods of time outside the UK.
On the other hand, if you and your partner are both based in the UK and you have no evidence of living together, then you will need to provide a detailed explanation of why it has not been possible for you to live together with your partner. The Home Office has divided the type of evidence you provide into three broad categories: strong, acceptable, and weak.
Strong proof of genuine relationship documents UK is usually issued by an organization or service provider that is able to check and verify your details such as your identity, address, and immigration status. Examples of such organizations include GP, hospitals, social services, and your employer.
Acceptable evidence includes documents issued by a third-party organization or service provider that is not able to check and verify your details. Examples of this include letters from utility companies, phone or internet service providers or other commercial organizations providing products and services. Weak evidence of relationship uk visa includes evidence from individuals with no official capacity or has not been verified by the provider of the document.
It is usually recommended that you provide a combination of strong, acceptable and weak evidence to ensure that the overall quality of your evidence is reasonably strong. Where you can find only weak evidence of relationship uk visa such as letters from family or friends confirming your relationship or the length of time you have lived together, it will be advisable to provide a detailed explanation of why you were unable to provide stronger evidence of your genuine and subsisting relationship.
What Documents Can Be Provided to Show a Genuine and Subsisting Relationship?
As we hinted above, the kind of proof of relationship documents in UK you provide depends on the application you make. For example, if you are applying for a spouse visa, you will need to provide a valid marriage certificate which must be translated if it is not in English. But providing a marriage certificate only proves that you are married, and you will still need to prove that the marriage is genuine and subsisting. To do so, you will need to provide evidence of regular contact with your partner before and since the date of your marriage. This could include evidence of everyday conversations, financial support of the sponsoring partner or joint financial responsibilities, evidence of living together and evidence of travels together.
If you are applying as an unmarried partner, you will need to provide evidence to show you have lived together for at least two years in a relationship akin to marriage. If you are applying as a fiance, you will need to provide evidence of everyday contact with your partner, evidence of plans for your marriage in the UK including details of the wedding ceremony and any venue reservations.

For as long as I can remember I’ve been horrible at small talk. When I meet new people I’m awkward, quiet, and very unapproachable. This is something that is quite contrary to my true nature. I’ll blame it on my permanently furled brow. I’m constantly lost in thought–calculating the answers to world peace and the like. No big deal.
It is the one thing I’m not good at, meeting new people. For as confident as I am when speaking about something I’m passionate about–I become Samson in the presence of those I don’t know. Rejection is a fear that plagues me; I want to make people happy–it’s what fulfills me.
Interactions with new people are also rare for me. I’ll in part blame this characteristic on growing up in a very small, isolated town. And even more rare is the time we are blessed to spend with others. The moments we share with individuals are so fleeting. So tenuous. During that time I don’t want to talk about the weather or some trivial shared experience we had in the elevator. I want to know your about your dreams and passions. I want to know your fears and deepest regrets. I want to give you respite. I want to fortify you and offer you unexpected support. I want to share a bond with you that let’s you know that you are visible. I want to give you validation.
Even though I know this bond is short lived, each person I manage to capture in this spell lives within me. It nourishes me and love and positivity goes with them.
I learn from each person I speak with. Every person is a piece of the puzzle–a word in the answer to the deepest questions humanity strives century after century to answer. Every person is potential. Every person is the unexplainable and mystery at the center of our souls. Every person is a reflection of us all; I can fin myself in you. Every person is a question. Every person is an answer. This makes every person irresistible to me.
So, forgive me if we meet and I seem aloof. Forgive me if I’m impatient with your comments about this recent weather phenomenon or that. I’m here for you. I want to know you and appreciate you.
As always, love.


COMMUNITY PROPERTY; REGISTERED DOMESTIC PARTNERS
In California, all property, which a married person acquires during the marriage, is presumed to be community property. California Family Code Section 760. This means that husband and wife own the property jointly, and it requires both of their signatures to sell the property. Property which a married person owns, prior to the marriage, or which is acquired during the marriage by gift or inheritance, is presumed to be separate property. California Family Code Section 770. Separate property belongs only to one spouse, not to both of them.
The same rules apply to gay and lesbian couples who are registered domestic partners. California Family Code Section 297.5. Property which registered domestic partners acquire, during the domestic partnership, is presumed to be community property.
Both spouses have the same right to management, ownership and control of community property. Upon the death of a spouse, his or her heirs inherit his or her community property. If the spouse dies without a will, his or her interest in community property will ordinarily go to his or her surviving spouse.
A variant form of community property is community property with right of survivorship. Civil Code Section 682.1(a). If you hold title this way, upon the death of one of the spouses or domestic partners, the living spouse or domestic partner will inherit the entire property. Holding title in this way avoids having the property pass through probate.
You can opt out of these results, by written agreement between the spouses or domestic partners. If you purchase property, during a marriage or domestic partnership, which you do not want to be community property, you need a written agreement taking the property in some other way. If, on the other hand, you acquire property, during a marriage or domestic partnership, by gift or inheritance, and you want it to be community property, you need to state your intention in writing.


“We got married”
I had just about given up on internet dating...
I had just about given up on internet dating after having had a bunch of very unsuccessful dates on other
dating websites when, someone suggested that I try your site. About a week after I created my profile a guy
named Shawn wrote to me. We chatted and then we met a week or so later for our first date. I promised myself
that if I saw him and he looked like a weirdo, that I would give up all together on internet dating. He
looked very handsome from a distance, so I called out his name, and as we walked into the building he held
the door for me. I left the date three hours later knowing that this was the man that I would spend the rest
of my life with.
That was five years ago this August... We just celebrated our 1 year wedding Anniversary at the beginning of the month, and I have eDate to thank for all of it! Without you I couldn't have found my knight in shining armor!
“I am SOOO happy!!!!”
I was just about to remove myself from eDate in October when I got a response from someone of whom I never imagined I'd meet...
I was just about to remove myself from eDate in October when I got a response from someone of whom I never
imagined I'd meet. She responded by email, told me her name, I told her mine and.... well, one thing led to
another and now we are sooooo much in love; a love I never thought I'd ever feel again having lost my fiance
this past June. I was EMPTY with her loss. My new love knows all about my past history, and still accepts me and
doesn't want me to forget the special thing me and my fiance had . She has given me back that spark of life that
I had thought had been lost forever. we are thus, very very happy, have plans for marriage early next year,
and children are a hot topic with us!
I am SOOO happy!!!! and I am grateful to eDate.com for having brought us together, and we are both VERY HAPPY!!!! Thank you!
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
Dear eDate, The woman of my dreams actually found me on this site...
The woman of my dreams actually found me on this site! Things started out good for us and quickly got better and better. Now we are engaged and very very happy. I can't thank you all enough for the wonderful service that you provided me. I am happier than I've ever been in my life and it's because of you all.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Josie and I will never forget you. Thanks again and God bless you all.

“Found my Husband here on a last ditch effort.”
I left my heart and soul with him that night...
In 2010 I made my membership on eDate to see if I could find someone who would
want to fill the role of father to my unborn son. I was on this site for 8 months total.
In October of 2010 I received my first email from my now husband!
We played "email tag" for the next few weeks until finally I caught him online here long enough to get phone number! We talked everyday from then on and through December 2010 when my son was born, until this very day. (At the time, I was living in Wisconsin, and he we in Kentucky.)
We had only met up twice, once in Jan. 2011 to meet me and my son, then I went to meet his family in September 2011. The night we (my son and I) were scheduled to head back to Wisconsin, It was raining just as hard as I was crying. I left my heart and soul with him that night. Ever since we have been inseperatable and we have a son of our own. Planing on a girl this time! Thank you eDate for giving me my beautiful life with the man I love!
In Aprl of 2013 I met a lady on Mate 1. She said yes on Valentines day...
In April of 2013 I met a lady on Mate 1. She said yes on Valentines day, we are now planning our wedding for July
12, 2014. There are no words to express our thanks as we currently live 85 miles apart and would have never met
if not for Mate 1!
“Finding "THE ONE".”
In less than 7 days, I have found a partner...
In less than 7 days, I have found a partner. I cannot believe that he was out there and still single. We have
been exchanging messages for days now and are moving towards meeting soon. I could not be more thrilled and
excited. I lost my partner of almost 10 years and never thought I could meet someone else with so many of the
same goals and interests. But I have! Soon he will be flying over from the U.K. to meet me and hopefully we will
be together for the rest of our lives. Thank you eDate for your GREAT site!

"A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different."- Marianne Williamson
Think of her… think about all the things she did for you and all the things that she would still do just to make you happy. Think about your beginnings and the flower that you offered her at your first date. Remember her smile and the kiss just after that. Stop a second from whatever you do and send a thought towards her, towards the woman that is next to you. You surely love her. You surely love to make her happy.
I know… You will say that you do so many things for her, that you work all day and all night long so that she doesn’t lack of anything.
It’s true…but sometimes, the woman next to you just needs some beautiful gestures, done when she less expects it. And the joy that you could bring her just by offering her a bouquet of flowers, it's worth every penny.
Don't wait for her birthday or her anniversary. Send her some flowers to her office just to wish her a wonderful day. I can’t promise you that she will love you more. I’m just saying that you will make her happy. And she will know that you love her. And that you care.

At a specific position she supplied to end the marriage for the reason that she felt she’s earning both equally of these miserable.
We decided to take a look at their earlier lived collectively, to discover clues and comprehend what is the lesson for now. I questioned her to close her eyes, take a couple deep breaths, go down a flight of stairs and open up the doorway that is the portal to her past everyday living.
She observed herself up inside the Swiss mountains, inside a ski resort. A married female by using a son, daughter as well as a loving husband. They love their getaway And the way surprising, her charming partner will get plenty of attention with the girls.
Afterward we learned he was a heritage professor on the University of Geneva. She's obsessive above him. She can’t stand The point that he is good and friendly to anybody who ways him. The wife harasses the partner, embarrasses him in community and pushes him away. Their marriage turns sour. They hardly discuss to each other anymore. They sit inside their lounge, each reads in their unique e-book.
Ultimately she dies as a consequence of a tumor in her belly. In her higher knowledge right after living her overall body she finds out her husband liked her a good deal and never cheated on her, While he had loads of chances.
I asked her what her spiritual lesson was. She claimed she had to master to have faith in him and deal with her obsession.
Evaluating these days’s lifetime to her previous everyday living, she explained her husband like historical past and reads a lot about this. He is well known and handsome. Her jealousy is mellower this time about; she's much less vocal over it, stuffs it in more.
Her lesson is identical, to believe in and like and never Enable her jealousy poison her connection like in Switzerland.
After i woke her up she was shocked. She couldn’t believe that she repeats the identical lesson, and doesn’t belief her faithful loving and faithful husband. She still left grateful and motivated to go property, open her heart and correctly deal, During this existence, While using the lesson known as prekvalifikacija “jealousy”.

- Don't pay attention to sad stories about family problems and poor financial situation. You have your own problems and you have joined this online dating community to have fun and meet interesting people, not to give away charities.
- Don't say yes to webcam conversation if the other party doesn't have a webcam installed or willing to share the image.
- Don't share your pictures or your live image online outside our dating website with anyone.
- If you ever happen to bump into such person make sure you immediately inform us so we can take all necessary measures.

The well-being of the children is of paramount importance and a priority to us at Holmer Green First School and Pre-School.
Every child is unique and having positive relationships and enabling environments around them helps them to develop positively. This can affect their understanding of their feelings and emotions, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, relationships, resilience and capabilities as they go through life.
We have a holistic approach, giving the children positive praise, encouragement, guidance and a wide range of activities to explore and enhance their imaginations and increase their knowledge of the world to help to give them a well-rounded sense of well-being.
The well-being of parents is also very important to us as life can be challenging juggling work and home, together with raising children. The well-being of parents can affect the support they are able to give their children to grow and develop emotionally, physically, socially and cognitively and subsequently grow into confident adults themselves with the ‘tools’ they have gained from their childhood.

Bucks Family Information Service


By: Christine McClellan
In today’s world, almost everything goes on Facebook. All of a person’s friends and sometimes family are able to constantly keep updated on their life – whether it be little details of what they did that day, a new job they started, and even the status of their current romantic relationship.
It seems silly to go to the relationship section of your Facebook profile and click “single” the night you and your boyfriend broke up, but people do it all the time! Maybe to make the break-up seem more finalized, maybe to inform their friends all at once, or maybe just because it’s the new norm.
Facebook has changed romantic relationships, especially for teens who have never seen a relationship outside of the Internet realm. Has it changed for the better? For the worse? In Facebook relationship lingo, I’d say, “it’s complicated.”
I was in ninth grade when I first got my Facebook account, so, like many teens today, I’ve really never experienced a real relationship that hasn’t been showcased on my profile. When I think about this, a part of me feels pathetic, but I feel that this is going to just be the new norm for relationships. There are many ways that Facebook can help a couple’s relationship (i.e. it makes communication easier, seeing your significant other post about you boosts self-esteem), but there are just as many areas of critique in the new Internet era of romance.
The Green-Eyed Monster
It’s hard to talk about relationships on Facebook without talking about jealousy. Seeing every detail about your significant other, seeing every person they talk to, and constantly keeping tabs on what they are doing – this isn’t what a relationship should be about, however it is difficult to avoid. Couples can become nearly obsessed with checking up on one another online, and it often leads to arguments that really shouldn’t be taking place.
A recent study confirms that Facebook may be damaging to relationships solely because of the jealousy factor. In fact, a survey of divorce lawyers in 2012 showed that a third of the causes of divorce were related to Facebook. Of course, this is divorce and not a teenage relationship, but it’s not crazy to assume that Facebook has the exact same effect on any romantic relationship.
It’s important to talk to your teen about jealousy online. Encourage them to stop checking up on their partner online, even if it is just for a week. Chances are that they will then notice how much more trust they have gained for their partner just by not constantly knowing what they are up to.
Facebook makes communication easier. This has been well known for a while now, that it takes less confidence or thought to type something out rather than say it to a person. This can sometimes be helpful; especially for those who are shy and struggle for the courage to speak to people they don’t know. However, once peoples’ feelings get invested in the conversation, typing it out on Facebook chat may not be the best way to go.
Some teens meet their significant others and get asked out on Facebook, but the break-ups on Facebook are where the problem comes in. Breaking up is hard to do, and Facebook makes it painless. All a person has to do is send a message or update a status and the relationship is over – no real conversation needed. I’ve even heard of people just changing their relationship status to “single” without saying anything to their significant other about the decision.
Just like any other break-up, being on the receiving end is miserable. Being broken up with on Facebook, however, gives the relationship no closure. It’s important to end a relationship in person, out of respect for the other person, and to talk things through so that the relationship doesn’t end on such a sour note. Make sure your teen knows that breaking up is an in-person process – plain and simple. If your teen gets broken up with online, encourage them to delete the other person as a “friend,” as this may give them the closure they need. Although this gives them some closure, also encourage your teen to talk to their ex in person, as this is key to resolving any issues they may have had.
Living in the Public Eye
When you’re in a relationship on Facebook, everybody knows about it. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but it can lead to a potentially embarrassing break-up process. Once your relationship is over, each person has to go to their profile and change their relationship status to “single.” This then shows up on your timeline for the world to see. Of course, this can be deleted, but people are bound to find out eventually that your status no longer says “in a relationship.”
Sometimes, updating the status to “single” can bring on a stream of condolences – all your friends feel so bad and are there for you if you need them. This could be annoying, but at least you feel less alone. But at the same time, everybody at school the next day will know the break-up happened. Being so public all the time isn’t always the best idea – some things are better off being private.
Almost every teen is on Facebook, but their relationship doesn’t have to be. Facebook seems to harm romantic relationships more often than help them, so maybe it’s best if the relationship status starts to become outdated. Encourage your teen to be careful about how they interact with their significant other online, and let them know that relationships are always best in-person.

The most interesting and different aspect of Valentine’s Day in Mexico is that it is not just a day for lovers to celebrate their romance. it is also a day to show appreciation and love for friends. Here are some of the ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Mexico
Valentine’s Day Red
The colour red features almost everywhere in Mexico during the lead up to Valentine’s Day. Shops and restaurants are decorated every year with red balloons, red hearts, banners, and flowers to celebrate the day of love and friendship.
Valentine’s Day Gifts
Around the world, red roses and chocolates are on top of the list for romantic gifts on Valentine’s Day, and the same goes in Mexico.

At almost 24 years old, I always feel like I am the last of a dying breed. Everyone around me is either getting into relationships, getting married, or popping out evil spawn. I’m not participating in any of these major life-alerting practices, nor do I wish to (I’m in a serious relationship with my gym). But, as I scroll through my Facebook feed and discover another moronic person is “in a relationship with so-and-so”, my messed up brain is not happy for them, but in fact, wondering how long it will last. Why? Because, most of you don’t realize what simple mistakes you make while you’re in a relationship. Don’t take it personally; sometimes you just need swift kick in the ass to realize what stupid and annoying shit you’re constantly doing. That’s where I come in. I’m here to help you better yourself and your relationship … hopefully; I’m not a miracle worker.
1. Airing Your Laundry on Social Media
The number one cause of relationships failing miserably in today’s society is social media. Think about it. We live in a world where people post just about every little minuscule detail about their life to the internet. When they get into a relationship with another human being, I always see the posts double or even triple. If you’re in a relationship, it’s okay to make it “Facebook official”, but it is not okay to post ten thousand statuses a day about this person, what you are doing, or how much you “love” them. You are basically taking your relationship and hanging it out to dry for everyone around to see. You wouldn’t want your disgusting underwear hanging outside on the line to dry, so why would you do the same with a relationship?
Today, people forget that a relationship is supposed to be sacred. It is supposed to be just between two people – not the billions of people who are on social media. They can see every tweet, picture, and Facebook status you put out there. So, when you make one post about your girlfriend/boyfriend doing something “wrong” or even allude to trouble in paradise – it automatically turns into a shitstorm. People will come crawling out of the rock they are living under to get involved in your drama. So listen up - do not post much of anything about your relationship on social media, dummies. We know you are proud you have acquired a mate and it was probably a hard task to accomplish – but don’t ruin it by telling everyone what you two are doing every god forsaken chance you get.
Do yourselves a favor and follow this wonderful piece of advice – “I want a relationship where they know of us, but not about us.”
2. Becoming “One”
This is the scariest thing I see people who are in a relationship doing. They somehow merge together into this one horribly mutated person. The two people in the relationship no longer have separate interests, for they somehow just like everything the other person likes. The two people no longer have friends of their own, for they are too busy hanging out with each other constantly. This scary, merged person even sometimes has a joint Facebook account. That’s when you know that relationship is pretty much straight out of a horror story. It sends shivers down my spine just thinking about this monstrosity of a shared Facebook account.
When you get into a relationship, chances are you do not like everything the other person likes. That is downright impossible (unless you somehow found the technology to make an exact opposite sex clone of yourself).You both have different interests, friends, and priorities. I don’t expect my future boyfriend to watch an excruciatingly long three hour Raw with me, nor do I hope he expects me to watch that appalling thing they call “Football”, because I would never put myself through that shit. Part of a relationship is learning to deal with your differences and accepting that you two cannot be the same person. Do not become so wrapped up in each other that you start to lose sense of who you are. Don’t ignore your friends, don’t ignore your interests, and don’t force yourself to like things because your other half likes them. Be you, for god sakes. Nothing annoys me more than when women get into a relationship and hop on the “sports team bandwagon”. It’s gross. Go hang out with your friends or get a mani/pedi when he’s watching some stupid sport. You don’t have to be up each other’s asses all day, every day.
Stop it. Stop merging into this creepy creature that lacks individuality and common sense. It’s a massive relationship mistake.
3. Extreme Texting
I can’t stress this one enough. A lot of people I know just take this way too far when they finally match up with another human being. Put down the phone, stop texting them all the freaking time, and get a life. Just because you have given the title of “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” to someone in your life, does not mean they are entitled to answer every single one of your text messages in two seconds flat. That is not the way life works. Most people these days (I stress the word “most”), work eight or more hours in a day, run errands, go to the gym, have other personal things they need to take care of. They cannot be expected to pick up the phone and just talk to you any minute of the day. It’s irritating when anyone checks their phone after being insanely busy and discover five unread messages from the same person – even more aggravating if it is your significant other.
Why are you texting each other so much? There is nothing wrong with a simple “good morning” or “hope work is going well” text message during the day, but it makes you look insecure about your relationship if you must constantly know where this person is and what they are doing. It also makes you look extremely selfish. You cannot expect someone to answer you right away when life is demanding for the other person. If you are in a relationship, you should know this person already cares about you deeply – so put down the phone, stop texting them 24/7, and let your boyfriend/girlfriend relax and finish their day. Because guess what? When they are done running around after a stressful day, you’ll be the person they will want to talk to. However, if you text to no end during the day, you just add to the stress and become a huge pain in the ass. Don’t be an annoyance; you want your mate to come running to you after a long day – not running from you.
4. Step Away From Each Other
When you first enter a relationship, there is sometimes that beginning stage I like to call the “Honeymoon Stage”. During this stage, you two probably have a serious case of “puppy love” and are living in pure bliss. You want nothing more than to spend every waking moment with this person. Give it a few months, the “Honeymoon Stage” will eventually fade away and you’re left with a real relationship - one that probably will take some effort to maintain. Want to know why some relationships just don’t work out?
You’re spending too much time with each other.
In the beginning, you have no problem hanging out with each other any chance you get. This is because you two are still learning all there is to know about one another (or having sex constantly, that’s an added bonus). When those first six months are up, or you get into your first little fight, you realize that spending all your time with this person is not the best idea. Like I said before, you don’t want to end up “merging”, so back off from one another, and give each other the space you both rightfully deserve. Everyone needs their time to de-stress, relax, and do the things that interest them. I’m positive your boyfriend/girlfriend would be okay with the fact you want some down time. If they are not okay with this, you have what we call a “clinger”, and it is time to seriously evaluate your relationship.
The way to maintain a strong, healthy relationship is still being able to be yourself. This is important. Just because you are Facebook official or bang every night does not mean you are entitled to spend every waking moment surrounded by this person. Be your own person, do your own shit, and both of you will appreciate each other more.
5. Call It Quits, Please
This has to be the most annoying thing people do in relationships. For some god unknown reason, they think they must stay with this one person, no matter how much it has turned into a relation-“shit”. Why? There is going to come a point in every relationship where you realize that it is just not meant to be. It happens at random. No one could predict when this moment will come. Does it hurt? Yes. But who wants to stay in a pointless relationship? I get it, maybe the sex is fantastic. Maybe you do “love” that person more than anything in the world. Feelings might not be shared, however. So please, for the love of God, do not under any circumstances stay in your relationship if you know it’s not worth it.
I’ve been in this situation. I’ve stayed in various relationships when I knew it was not worth the effort I was putting in. Trust me; you are much better getting your ass out of there as soon as you can before you end up with a Stephanie McMahon/Triple H fiasco of 2002. Don’t be a wimp about it, either. You need to grow some balls, sit down with your boyfriend/girlfriend, and tell them how you feel. No text messages, no emails, no phone calls. Face to face conversation will only do in this type of situation. I’m not saying it will be the easiest thing you’ll do – it won’t be – but just freaking be an adult about it. You’ll feel much better when it’s done, even though you might mourn the loss of your sex life.
I can’t stress this enough – if you know your relationship is unhealthy, there is a lack of commitment, or you just can’t stand the freaking person – end it. I don’t get why people would want to put themselves through the physical and emotional pain of an atrocious relationship. There is plenty of god damn fish in the puddle, people.
Now, that wasn’t too bad. I tried to keep it simple and blunt for all of you out there to understand. I don’t condone getting into relation-“shits” at all, but if you happen to find one person who you truly care for and will put out for you consistently, by all means, give it a shot. Nothing wrong with some sex every once and while (and I guess someone caring for you, too). Seriously, I just hope you take everything I say in stride. Don’t be annoying; don’t expect your partner to make your life their life. It won’t work that way. You need to learn to give and take in these strange, weird life practices. But please, just don’t have your relationship constantly taking over my Facebook news feed. I see enough pictures of ugly babies and gross people kissing on a daily basis to last me until they throw me six feet under.

This is so familiar. Did you spy on me when my best friend with the same name as me and I were in that fight a couple years ago?
The last gut drop text I got was actually me realizing I sent a text to the wrong person in a way that wasn't cool. It was a good reminder that you are never too old to completely embarrass yourself over text.

There’s never a dull moment as the women embark on an adventure based

source of income. Apart from trying not to drive each other insane, they
run into several mishaps with wily antique dealers, many creditors, and
another woman impersonating a third wife of the deceased.

And I can't even fall for someone who is willing to catch me.
I'm happy for my friends when their love life goes great, I don't feel sad that they're happy and I'm not, I'm just jealous. BIG TIME.
I wish I could find one person. Just one! Is that so much to ask?? One person who loves and cares for me, who is willing to risk it all for me, someone who will take me out on picnics and to the beach and is happy just to be with me, who doesn't necessarily want all the saliva-related stuff.
Someone, who maybe, is happy to lay under the stars and listen to my heartbeat and doesn't ask anything of me. Someone who doesn't want anything from me, who will happily listen to me talk forever and a day.
But that's too much to ask for from God, isn't it?
Of course it is.

“Friendzone” is one of those terms that I absolutely cannot stand. While the term’s been around since the 90s (most sources credit the TV show “Friends” with its origin), it has become much more popular in the last couple of years, and now seems to be a fixture in common parlance. The Internet is rife with the rants and whinings of the “friendzoned”. Of course, this whining usually has the opposite effect of what was intended — its only purpose, really, is to let me know that the person using the term is an asshole and not worth being friends with in the first place.
For those unfamiliar with it, Urban Dictionary defines the friendzone as “What you attain after you fail to impress a woman you’re attracted to.” Wikipedia’s definition is a little bit more honest (as well as being gender neutral): “the friend zone refers to a platonic relationship where one person wishes to enter into a romantic relationship, while the other does not.”
Now, I’m not saying that wanting “more” from a friendship with a person who you find attractive is always a bad thing. I actually prefer to date people with whom I’ve already built a friendship, as it’s easier to trust a person who you already know and like. The problem is that “friendzone” is generally presented as a negative thing, as though being friends is some sort of “consolation prize”. It creates the impression that you were only in it for the possibility of sex, and if that possibility is removed, you’re really not interested in continuing the friendship.
I’ve lost my share of friendships this way, and the usual way of things is this: you meet, chat, realize that you have a lot in common. You hang out more often, find shared interests that you can do together. You talk about all sorts of different topics. And at some point, one party falls for the other. The crush is revealed and – oh no – it’s not mutual. Awkward. Everybody feels kind of bad. You say that you won’t let it change anything, and then … they disappear. They’re never available to hang out any more. Calls go unanswered. You’ve lost a friend, because they couldn’t deal with the embarrassment of being sexually rejected.
It’s pretty unpleasant, not to mention rather insulting, to think that a friendship you’ve invested time and energy into was only a plan to get into your pants. And it can be heartbreaking when someone you’ve spent a lot of time with, and built a connection with, decides that they don’t want to be around you any more because you won’t offer them sex.
There can be dozens of different reasons why people who are compatible as friends may not feel a sexual attraction for each other. The simplest explanation is physical attraction (or the lack thereof) — there’s not much that you can do if you just simply aren’t attracted to the person. But there are countless other factors as well. Maybe your wants and needs in a relationship are different (ie, if one person is polyamorous and the other is monogamous, it’s unlikely to work). Maybe your future plans don’t mesh (ie, one person wants kids and the other doesn’t). Maybe there’s already someone else, or you’re not over a recent breakup, or you’re still figuring out your sexuality, or you’re simply happy with being single.
Whatever the reason, deciding that friendship, without sex or other “benefits”, just isn’t quite “good enough” for you? It’s an asshole move. Ditching a friend because you’ve decided it’s not “going anywhere” makes you a total jerkbag asshat. At least the person you’re dumping as a friend is probably better off without you, but that really is a totally shitty consolation prize.
The thing is, if you’re using the term “friendzone” to describe your relationship with a person? You probably aren’t really their friend. Friends care about each other as more than just objects, and want one another to be happy. It’s fair to be disappointed when you fall for a person and they don’t fall for you — it’s a shitty thing to happen. But grow up, be an adult about it, and respect their feelings. You’ll get over it and find somebody else to crush on soon enough. If you’re really their friend, you want them to find somebody great to be in a relationship with (even if that person isn’t you) — and they’ll want the same for you, as well. You might even be able to have some good discussions with them, now, about why they don’t see you as a romantic possibility and about how you can go about improving yourself to become a better “catch” for when the right one comes along. If you’re really lucky, you might even gain a “wingman“, to help you with approaching and attracting the next person you develop a crush on.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking right now, so I’m just going to nip this in the bud — substitute alternative pronouns if necessary. “But I’m really a nice guy! Why can’t she see that I’d be perfect for her?”
To start with? No. No, you’re probably not a nice guy. Because the guys who complain about how “nice guys finish last” and “girls only like to date assholes”? Are usually not particularly nice. They are, instead, what is known as a “Nice Guy” (note the capitalization and quotation marks).
In the world of the “Nice Guy”, people to whom you’re attracted are not seen as individual human beings. They are interchangeable objects, into whom you deposit token gestures of how “Nice” you are. Paying compliments. Giving gifts. Doing favours. You count up all of these gestures like notches on a headboard, and expect that at some point you’ll be “paid back” with sex or a relationship, once the person is sufficiently in your “debt”. Never mind that their feelings might be different from yours — they “owe” you, for all that you’ve “given” them. It’s a shitty way to treat another person. If you were truly their friend, you’d do favours and make such gestures without expecting anything in return, because that’s how friends treat each other. You’d be upset if one of your friends gave you a gift, and then turned around and said “now where’s my present?”, so don’t do that to people you’re attracted to.
In addition to this, even if you are an excellent match? They need to come to that conclusion themselves. It might be a case of “right person, wrong time”, and if you stick around and are a genuine friend (and not a “Nice Guy”) to them, they may eventually reach that conclusion. Don’t sit around waiting for it, of course, and certainly don’t pester them about it — seek other relationships and friendships in the meantime, and leave the ball in their court — but don’t consider the conversation over. People grow, and change, and sometimes an initial rejection will turn into something different over time.
But wait — what’s that, Morpheus?
That’s right — there’s one other category that I haven’t dealt with yet. That’s the people who “friendzone” themselves, because they never even bothered to say anything about their feelings.
This can be one of the most hurtful things to experience. You make friends with a person, spend a bunch of time together … and then out of the blue, they stop calling, stop being available, and the friendship simply ends. No explanation, you didn’t have a fight or a falling out, it’s just over.
And then you hear from a mutual friend: “oh, X had a crush on you, and you didn’t like them back, so they decided to end it”. And you’re floored. You didn’t know they felt that way. Were there signs that you should have seen? Why didn’t they talk to you about it? It hurts to think that a person felt so intimidated by you that they found it easier to cut you off than it was to just talk to you about it.
This is one of the stupidest things that a person can do. In addition to the usual problems associated with “friendzoning” (you’re treating the person as an object rather than a person, you’re more interested in sex and your own desires than you are in the friendship and their wants & needs, etc), there’s the added hurt of being completely left out of the decision-making process. Maybe you hadn’t thought of that person as a possible sexual partner, but knowing that they feel that way about you might have left you feeling open to exploring the possibility. But they chose for you; they decided how you felt (and took away your ownership and agency of your own emotions), acted on it, and you didn’t even get a say.
So to sum up:
- Never use the term “friendzone”. It’s a term only used by assholes.
- If you’re attracted to a friend, and they don’t feel the same way about you, respect them enough to accept their decision and move on.
- Cutting a person out of your life because they won’t have sex with you is shallow and childish, and not the way you’d treat a friend.
- If you’re attracted to a person, say something. Don’t assume that they are psychic, and don’t assume anything about their feelings in return.


A Family of Three
2016 - ongoing
A Family of Three, a project explores the complex relationship between governmental legislation and family dynamics. The First Marriage Law (1950) and The Family Planning Policy (1979) passed in the People’s Republic of China, gradually established a new structure for the Chinese nuclear family: mother, father, and daughter/son. The one-child policy intended to curb the growth in China’s population had unintended consequences that produced adverse social consequences. A Family of Three scrutinizes how China’s patriarchal tradition which combined with emerging feminist politics, produced these issues within the context of my family: an unsuccessful heterosexual marriage, a dynamic not unique to my family.
A Family of Three is an auto-ethnography. By investigating my family within the field of our home, the work chronicles the effects of heteronormative ideas drawn from the fantasy of the happy Chinese family in the contemporary social imagination. What is revealed is the impact of these constructed mythologies on individuals who are shaped and entangled with other lives.

Tips To Attract The Guy You Want
Have you been trying to make that man desire you? Have you played nice, naughty, wild, demure and none of what you try ever works? Are you hoping to find some truly great tips that will get you the man of your dreams? Read this article to learn what you can do.
Playing it naughty and wild might be efficient if you want to have a hot and exciting night with a man you'll never see again, but it's not that effective when looking for a good man who'll be there for life. You will have a lot of time to bring out your naughty and wild side later on, but keep it contained for now.
At the other extreme, playing it nice and demure might just not get you noticed at all. Also, men who play it too nice may either be seen boring or, if you're really too nice, you might look desperate.
Mix this all together in a healthy balance and let him know that you're a sexy man who is wise, a great heart, tons of compassion and a wild streak that enjoys adventure.
Show him all this under the guise of friendship. The thing about working on a friendship as opposed to working on a relationship is that all the pressure is gone. With no expectations, you can both relax and just have fun together. The more fun you have and the more easily you communicate, the closer you'll become.
The allure of a man who is fun, exciting and easy to talk to, but without any pressure can be highly irresistible to many men. They're more apt to just open up, not only with what they tell you about their life, but with their heart.
Be fun, wild, nice, and sexy, but keep it well-balanced and give him plenty of chances to see all these sides of you. You could make any type of man really want you as soon as you provide him with what he is trying to find, without pressuring him to give you what you want. Before you realize it, he'll readily give you what you desire.

Today my partner and I are celebrating our 17th anniversary.
An anniversary not recognised by the laws of our liberal, secular democracy, because we are both man.
Ironically, our relationship, which is considered unacceptable and sinful by some, endured better than my parents’ marriage that lasted just over 13 years.
Meanwhile, the average state-sanctioned ‘marriage’ in Australia lasts about 12 years these days.
So, we are doing pretty well.
But, we are denied the fundamental social structure designed to recognise the enduring commitment of two people to each other – marriage.
We are far too familiar with the usual, religious, ‘arguments’ against marriage equality and, for reasons that defy common sense, society continues to accept and tolerate those arguments.
Am I angered by this exclusion? Yes.
Am I bitter over this rejection? Yes.
Am I saddened by this intolerance? Yes.
Am I hurt by this bigotry? Yes.
The love my man and I have together, the joy we experience every day waking up next to each other, the laughter that fills our home, our amazing friends and family help us to rise above the muck, and give us the resilience, strength and purpose to continue our fight for inclusion, acceptance and love.
Tomorrow we will continue that fight for equality under the law.
But, today my man and I will celebrate our achievements as a couple: a beautiful, loving relationship that’s stronger than ever, a love that still grows a little each day, even after 17 years, and a wonderful home that our love built.
Happy 17th anniversary my darling man, you are my everything …
