It feels not right.
I am supposed to be happy (to know that at least there's someone had crush on me) but it doesn't.
It shivers me.
It annoys me.
Really that much.
It has been so long. Too long until I forgot how to be in that phase of madly deeply in love with a stranger.
The last that I had hurts me too much I don't have the guts to have a new one, until now. Too afraid to start everything all over again. I prefer to hurt you now before I probably breaks your heart even deeper, later.
Am sorry dear, still not ready to be involved in one. Not until I feel safer to love and to be loved. Unconditionally.

How to Build a Mindful and Loving Relationship and Parshat Ki Tavo
Updated: Jul 13
In this week’s Torah portion, Ki Tavo, we learn about the covenant between G-d and the children of Israel. It says: “You have affirmed G-d this day to be your G-d and you will walk in His ways and keep his statutes/commandments….And G-d has affirmed as he promised you , His treasure, who shall keep his commandments…”
The word in Hebrew for affirmed is האמרת he’emarta which is attributed to both G-d and the people. According to Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the covenant is a mutual bond of love on both sides to be faithful and cherish one another.
Our commentators have different opinions as to the meaning of this verb.
Rashi says it means chosen, Radak says it means betrothed and Hizkuni says it means unique.
Whatever the meaning, language is deliberate in the Torah and the fact that both G-d and the Jewish people affirm their relationship shows the duality and reciprocity in their relationship.
There is a mutual bond of love.
This example of mutual love can be used in human relationships as well.
A loving relationship is a very important value in Judaism and is referred to in many places in the Torah. As Yeshiva University Rabbi Zvi Sobolofsky wrote: "The relationship between Hashem and the Jewish people is a model for a loving relationship, and we can derive an important lesson from the words of commitment “ונשמע נעשה -- we will hear and we will do“, that brought this relationship into existence. The Jewish people were not aware of all the details of Torah life before committing to its observance. What was necessary was the trust in G-d and commitment of the Jewish people that as the relationship progressed, they would learn more about G-d and His Torah, and would want to observe all of its laws."
In addition, the holiday of Shavuot placed more of an emphasis on trust and commitment than on the knowledge of all the details. That knowledge would eventually come in time. Similarly, in a growing relationship with a potential spouse it is unrealistic to focus on every possible detail about the other person. More emphasis should be on general personality traits, compatibility, and mutual trust. As events unfold, a relationship built on trust and commitment will be able to sustain life’s challenges.
In our approach to our spouse’s shortcomings, we should emulate G-d’s patience and willingness to overlook our flaws. Nobody is perfect, and those who constantly focus on others' imperfections will never be happy.
So how can we put these ideas into practice?
Here are a few ways that the practice and attitudes of mindfulness can help us be more open to love, introspection, and growth in all of our relationships.
1. Mindfulness helps us be more present and attentive. It can help us notice when we are on autopilot and redirect our attention to whatever our partner is saying or to what they are feeling, which builds intimacy and makes our relationships happier and more connected.
When you are mindful of the love in your life you open yourself up to the opportunity for love to grow. And not just romantic love, but self-love, and loving friendships as well.
2. Mindfulness improves emotion regulation. So even when we do start to “lose it” or walk away from our partners when in the middle of an argument, we are able to say “This is not helpful!” and stop ourselves from going down a negative spiral in our relationship.
3. Be interested in the other person. One of the essential attitudes of mindfulness is curiosity, and we can bring this into our relationships to foster warmth and trust. Our minds often tell us that we “know” someone so well that we can predict their behaviors and responses. While this may be true some of the time, it also stops us from clearly seeing the person in front of us—instead, we just see our “idea” of that person. See if you can be open, curious, and interested in those close to you as if you are getting to know them for the first time. You might be surprised by what you find.
4. Mindfulness makes us more compassionate and kind. People like to be around others who are kind because they feel cared about and safe with them. When we practice kindness, not only do we feel better, but we help others feel good, too. And this just increases opportunities for positive connections throughout our day, which, in turn, contributes to our own health and well-being.
5. Practice Mindful Listening
There’s a difference between hearing someone and actively listening to them. The next time you’re having a face-to-face conversation, notice the posture and body language of the other person. See if it’s possible to put aside forming your own response while listening to them speak.
Some of us who believe in or promote the benefits of mindfulness have a way of proselytizing in our attempts to raise awareness about the practice. “If it’s great for me,” we think, “it must be good for you, and you are missing out!”
Being excited about mindfulness is wonderful, but when we get too pushy about it in our intimate relationships—especially with our partners and spouses—it can cause friction.
Let go of the hope that he or she might one day get into mindfulness as much as you do. When you let go, a new world of deeper connection awaits, according to
Try this couple's meditation by Tara Brach , psychologist and meditation teacher.
A 10-Minute Meditation on Love Connection
Tara Brach and her husband, meditation teacher Jonathan Foust, have developed a regular practice for keeping the lines of communication open and maintaining a loving connection. They engage in this practice a couple of times a week. Here’s how Tara suggests going about it.
Keep the Lines Open
1) Begin by sitting silently together for about 10 minutes, or as much as time allows.
2) Next, take turns telling each other what you’re grateful for, and what's warming your heart right now. This is called gladdening the heart and serves as a good way to open the channel of communication,” Tara says.
3) Next, take turns naming any particular challenges you’re dealing with that are currently causing you stress. These are difficulties you’re facing apart from your relationship.
4) Then, deepen your inquiry by taking turns noting anything that might be restricting the sense of love and openness you feel toward your partner. First, you might ask yourself: “What is preventing me from feeling openhearted and intimate with my partner?” This is potentially the stickiest part of the practice, as well as the most rewarding.
“Naming difficult truths is the best way to bring more love and understanding into a relationship,” explains Tara. For example, she says, “There are times when I get busy and he takes on a larger portion of the household responsibilities and ends up feeling unappreciated, and I need to be reminded to express my appreciation. When we acknowledge what could cause resentment if left unsaid, it brings us closer together.” But, for this step to be productive, it’s essential for both partners to practice speaking and listening from a place of vulnerability, without blaming the other person.
5) Finally, enjoy some moments of silent appreciation together, ideally in a long, tender hug.
*And hug like you mean it!
Few things feel better than a good hug. Science shows that hugging can reduce blood pressure, and reduce anxiety.
Touch is also a primary way we communicate, feel safe, soothe our nervous systems, trust one another, and convey love and compassion.
We all want happier relationships, but rather than focusing energy on complaining or trying to change your partner, take up a mindfulness practice. Even better, take a mindfulness course together --if it interests both of you.
This will help you be more present, and loving, and build your own mutual bond.

Dr. Dr. Lovemonkey,
Please help me. Iíve recently been going out with a girl for two months. Iím falling for her, but she doesnít really seem to care for me in the affectionate way. Iím overly affectionate. I wish she would come up to me and try to kiss me or hold my hand, but she hardy even talks to me. Lately she has been getting frustrated and I know not what to do.
I keep thinking itís me or thereís something wrong and she dismisses it with the frustration sigh, Grrrrrrr. It hurts me because I told her I was falling for her, but she said sheís not falling for me yet ó itís too soon. This makes me feel bad. I think of her constantly and it gets me down that she doesnít care as much as I do. What should I do?
Also, last night I was "pleasing her" (with my fingers, of course) and I went in really deep and struck a little lump or something which I continued to stroke, turning her on. I continued, but when I pulled out, I had all this blood and junk on my fingers. What was that and what was the lump? Please explain.
I could have sworn that I know someone named Blee . . . or was it Blee Blee? Well, never mind. Itís only been two months that you have been seeing each other. Indeed, Blee, you need to slow down and put it into perspective. A standard rule of thumb is that the relationship will grow at the pace of the most recent partner. Your challenge is to slow down and keep your ardor in check. Try as best you can to synchronize with her. I assume the "lump" you struck that "turned her on" was her clitoris. If you are interested in the sexual happiness of women, you would do well to familiarize yourself with this small, sensitive erectile organ.
Dear Dr. Lovemonkey,
Iím 43 years old and recently divorced. Iíve been involved with a great gal I met in an Internet chat room a couple of months ago. Weíve been e-mailing back and forth, talked on the phone, and exchanged e-mail photos. Sheís 19 and studying to be a doctor. Hereís the problem.
We love each other very much, but her parents are totally against us and forbid her to be with a 43-year-old divorced man (they are against divorce for religious reasons). We have tried to meet a couple of times, but she is respecting her parentsí wishes and refuses to see me. What can I do to win the parents over? I know sheís interested and will see me if the parents drop their objections. I know weíd really hit it off. Iím really good looking and people say I look 10 years younger than my age.
Iím with the parents on this. Itís not so much your divorced status that Dr. Lovemonkey believes is the problem, but the fact that 43 and 19 donít add up. You can make a case, for instance, for the same age span if you are 50 and she is 26. But at 19, sheís had too few life experiences; sheís not emotionally mature enough to be involved with a 43-year-old divorced man. Drop the whole idea. You havenít even meet each other face-to-face and youíre old enough to be her father. Check out Joyce Maynardís recent memoir about her relationship with J.D. Salinger and then think again.

How neediness and emotional insecurity destroy relationships
“Please, clouds, don’t rain!” Not going to work, is it?
And neither will trying to reassure someone who just can’t be reassured. They will go on fretting, no matter how you plead.
Chronic insecurity in your relationship is a major problem. Why? Because relationships really, deeply matter. Your health, your wellbeing, your happiness are affected by your relationships more than any other factor. And your most intimate relationships have the biggest effect of all.
It’s not just the insecure person who suffers
Feeling insecure in a relationship is horrible for the one who is feeling the insecurity. The burden – of fear and obsessive thoughts, of feeling powerless, of awful awareness that all this insecurity may actually itself be destroying what you treasure most – can feel pretty unbearable.
But it’s also tough for the person on the receiving end of all that insecurity. The truth is that being involved with a really insecure person can be hell.
Why reassuring your insecure partner is almost a lie
Because ‘reassurance’ is what insecure people want most, and anyone can say reassuring things, it’s all too easy for partners (and friends) to offer reassurances that everything is “really okay” in the relationship even when it isn’t.This is a kind of denial. And – ironically – the reasons it might not be okay are often the product of the insecurity itself.
Sometimes the only genuine problem in a relationship is the emotional insecurity of one partner and the effect that has on the relationship as a whole. But it’s easy to fall into a pattern of always pretending everything is fine, even when the insecurity becomes really damaging. Such pretense becomes isolating and can drive partners further apart. This is how insecurity can damage or even destroy the relationship.
Relationships thrive on intimacy, and intimacy stems from feeling you can safely be yourself with your partner. So what does it feel like to be in a relationship with a very insecure partner?
Worrying about relationship breakup creates it
Insecurity stemming from a fear of losing intimacy can actually bring on that loss of intimacy. Jake, a former client, described it like this:
“I actually feel totally disconnected from Sara now. She doubts my every word, doesn’t believe me when I say I’ve been working, and constantly misinterprets what I say. It’s driving me nuts! And the angrier I get, the more insecure she gets. I can’t win! I’ve tried being sympathetic, but now everything has to be on her terms, I have to ask myself all the time – is this going to upset her or not?”
Jake told me how he had started to feel very lonely in his relationship, like he had no one to talk to, because “Talking to Sara is like walking on egg shells – will I say the wrong thing? Will she take it the wrong way?”
He, like many who are close to someone so insecure, found himself getting more and more emotionally distant from Sara. He felt less able to speak to her about how he felt, and less able to relax around her. Loneliness isn’t about being alone so much as feeling alone with others – because you feel misunderstood by them – and that’s how Jake now felt with Sara. He’d begun to feel trapped, finding it hard to be around her but also hard not to be around her, because he knew how painful it was for her to be wondering where he was or whom he was with.
The painful truth is that insecurity can lead to the death of intimacy in a relationship – the fear of losing something can actually bring about that loss. Trying to force intimacy or love – demanding to know how someone feels, what they are thinking, who they’ve been talking to, what they are doing – can just drive them further from you.
So what should you do if you are in a relationship with a really insecure person?
How to tell if you have a truly insecure partner
It’s vital to figure out whether the person you are with isgenuinely excessively insecure. Some jealousy and insecurity is actually normal in most relationships from time to time – especially in the early stages. Insecure people are often insecure about their insecurity, because they instinctively know how damaging it can be. But if insecurity is a constant and central feature of the relationship then, yes, it is a problem and a potential cause of breakdown. Of course you can reassure your partner, reason with them, and be gentle and loving toward them, but it’s important not to make too many adaptations for them. This was the mistake Jake made. He had completely stopped spending any time with his friends without Sara. He rang her on the hour, every hour, when he had to work late. He told her he loved her so many times a day that it was more like a chore rather than a genuine expression of how he felt. And after a while the relationship no longer felt real to him.
If the relationship becomes all about reassuring and not upsetting the insecure partner, you and your needs get sidelined to the point that the relationship can start to feel meaningless for you. Jake and Sara’s relationship only improved once Sara herself addressed her insecurity, and learned to trust and relax more with not “having to know” what Jake was thinking or doing all the time. Her self esteem improved and, in turn, he then felt more valued, and no longer trapped or forced to behave in prescribed ways. At last he was being listened to and respected again.
If your insecure partner has enough insight to know they need to change, then you really can encourage them to make those changes that could make such a difference for both of you. Ultimately, no one should have to be constantly “on call” to their partner, or emotionally isolated by them. Good relationships are reciprocal, not one-sided. They flourish when partners trust each other, accept each other, give each other space, forgive each other for failings – and enjoy each other. You and your partner both deserve that.

Sterling K. Brown And Ryan Bathe Are Goals
Sterling K. Brown is the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor out here killing it on This Is Us. The thing is, whenever he wins, he makes sure he shouts out his wife, actress Ryan Bathe. The two of them are just delightful. They’re gorgeous, loving and have been together for more than a decade. They are everything and we want to share a little black love on a day like this when we need it.
Take a look…
When they had a real/fake wife kiss
When they survived an earthquake together
Look at how they talk to each other


It seems the windmill of what's passed on from generation to generation might be a story of how we all suffer at the hands of those who claim to love us. We're told, "I only do this because I love you." We are taught that people make mistakes and that forgiveness is divine. We must forgive and forget because family is the most valuable thing in our lives. This is what we are told.
We perpetuate this paradigm, turning on our friends and families and children as adults. Drama ensues. Think about most of your fights with people you love, they seem years later to be practically incomprehensible to have started clan wars over, to print up Team This Person and Team That Person shirts over. We say what's important is the lesson learned.
So what exactly is that lesson? That to love and be loved is to make others suffer and suffer yourself? Give up on love if you want autonomy and happiness?
There will be no abandonment of love, but is there a way to mitigate the suffering?
The next time someone you love irritates you, hurts you, try something different. Instead of being mad and angry, asking for explanations and justifications and waiting for your opportunity to be cordially forgiving, decide that person does not need to be sorry. Decide there is nothing to forgive because you love that person and are going to keep doing so either way. This is not to demean a genuine apology. Saying you're sorry is a powerful gift and perhaps a necessary element of our being able to move on, both in the giving and in receiving.
Not needing to forgive a person means that you are not angry. So you must focus on how to not be angry with the people you love. The solution centers first around yourself, if you can relinquish the sense of entitlement you feel you have over another person's actions, truly allow them to be themselves, then it is my theory that the anger will fade. The people you love will no longer be able to hurt you because you cannot be hurt by them.
I can't imagine being mad at the people I love right now because I know that what I really want is for them to be themselves, and for that to be ok. I want them to know that they can be with me without walls or judgement. I don't expect them to adopt my mores as a precondition to my love. They still have their own needs and expectations, and I respect that.
Now, as a self-described self-abusing wondershow, you might argue that I like being hurt and discount your own ability to forgo your anger. I say that it is precisely my masochism that has taught me how to truly love another person. Because being hurt hurt me less than other people, I analyzed and delighted in my suffering, I was able to give my sadness a depth of thought most people avoid. I was able to put aside my ego long enough to see my part in the relationship drama, and attempt to stop making those who love me suffer. In doing so, it also freed me from the particular pain of being disappointed and hurt by the ones I love.
I learned my lesson: the best gift is loving a person for who they are.

When you are considering getting a vasectomy it is important to underline the permanency of the procedure. Although reversal is sometimes possible, it may not always be successful. It is considered permanent, so once it is carried out and the semen has been tested to make sure it is free from sperm, you don’t have to worry about contraception again.
Everyone is different so everyone will take different things into consideration when deciding whether to get a vasectomy or not. Give yourself and your partner time to be sure of this decision.
There are common questions that you should answer before going ahead with the operation such as:
- What if you change your mind about having more children? You need to be 100% sure that you and your partner do to want any more children in the future.
- What if one of your children dies? Would that affect how you feel about extending your family?
- What if you and your partner separate and you end up in a relationship with another woman who wants to have a family with you?
If you have any doubts about any of the above points consider another long term contraceptive until you and your partner are completely sure. Discuss all of your options with your GP or for more information on vasectomies contact www.vasectomyplus.ie


So this blog I’m writing for the girls… I have heard a lot lately from girls who are having issues with boys…been hearing lots of “boy drama”. I think almost all girls like to have someone who likes them or thinks that they are pretty. It feels good doesn’t it? I mean which one of us doesn’t want to feel special? We all do! But we don’t have to look outside to find someone to make us feel this way. As children of God we should always know we are special and loved and looked upon as beautiful in Gods sight. But eventually we will all go through a time when we have to deal with boys.
It has its good and bad ways of showing up at our doors someday and we all need to know how to handle it. None of us will handle it perfectly, but if we hand it over to God he will have his perfect plan worked out through it all. I know this sounds kinda harsh… but most girls are very easily deceived into believing things that aren’t necessarily true. And we all need to make sure that we are in Gods’ word every day and that we are having a close relationship with Him so that he will be our voice and mind when we get into sticky situations. The first guy to like you might be the one. But there is also a very big chance that he isn’t. And we need to be wise and discerning in seeing a difference in a guy who “likes you” or who “loves you”. There is a difference and many people think that the two are one in the same. You don’t want to marry a man who ”likes” you. Because in the long run most likely that’s all he ever felt for you. It was a like for your outer beauty and he might have had the wrong mindset in liking you and it may all end up in tears and hurt. A man who loves you will look past your outer beauty and see the girl you are inside and think how wonderful it is that God created a woman like you. And he will want to see that you are happy and love for who you are. Now, I’m not saying that the first guy to “love” you is the guy either. We need to have an understanding of guys that will treat us with love and we need to be sure we can live with them. You don’t want to marry a “good guy” who you don’t really like but you know he loves the Lord and all that. You need to marry someone who you know you can love every part of him. Even his quirks and weird mannerisms. You might wonder why I started this with girls having boy problems and went immediately into talking about marriage. And here is why, I believe that in America these days people think way to much of dating and having boyfriends. And with each boy, each kiss, each thought, you give a little piece of your heart away. And by the time you find the man who God intended for you, you have given away most of your heart to these other men. We need to guard our hearts for our future husbands. Even if we have a few relationships before we find “the one” we can use them for learning and growing in Christ.
I encourage you girls to think of the good and bad of starting relationships when you are young or not ready for a relationship. Most of them will only cause pain in the long run…
Take your feelings and relationships before God and let Him work in your life. He knows whats best.
Every relationship won’t be perfect. Some of us might fall into sin…some of us might have a wonderful story to tell our children someday. If you are still unmarried and young I beg you to put thought into every step you take. One little slip can lead you down a long road of misery and pain. For those of you who might have already done some things you regret I want you to know that it is never to late to turn things around. God says he throws our sins and transgressions into the deepest part of the sea and will never see them again. So after we have repented of sin we don’t need to think about it anymore or wonder what people think of us because we only need to please God, not man. And if you have already handed it over to God stop feeling guilt. It’s gone. Washed away. All that’s left is for you to turn to God and let Him transform your life.


Happy Mother’s Day (yesterday) to Juice’s Mom, Gma! Gma, you are always so giving of your time, your knowledge, and your self. I can only aspire to do the things you have done in your life.

Italian Adults’ Recall of Childhood Exposure to Parental Loyalty Conflicts
Journal of Child and Family Studies (Impact Factor: 1.42). 08/2013; DOI: 10.1007/s10826-013-9816-0
ABSTRACT Seven hundred and thirty nine adults in Chieti, Italy completed an anonymous and confidential paper and pencil survey regarding their childhood exposure to 20 parental loyalty conflict behaviors (one parent made untrue and negative statements about the other parent, one parent asked the child to keep secrets from the other parent, and the like), psychological maltreatment (spurning, terrorizing, and the like), and measures of current functioning (self-esteem, attachment, character, and symptoms). Results revealed high levels of reported exposure to parental loyalty conflict behaviors, with elevated levels in those whose parents divorced/separated and those who reported that—regardless of marital status—their parents’ relationship at its worst was ”very bad.” Rates of 19 specific loyalty conflict behaviors were higher in those who reported that one parent tried to turn them against the other parent. Overall rates of reported exposure to parental loyalty conflict behaviors were statis-tically significantly associated with exposure to psycholog-ical maltreatment as well as the four measures of current well-being and functioning. The pattern of findings supports the theory that children’s exposure to parental conflict has detrimental effects on their long-term functioning and poses a significant risk factor for adult well-being. Implications for primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention are discussed.

I’m going to write about my personal life today. I’m just about to celebrate my first year anniversary year with my partner Mark. It is a really good relationship built on shared values and friendship. We moved in together in October and all is well.
About 3 weeks ago Mark came down with bronchitis that worsened into pneumonia just before Thanksgiving. Just as he began to heal, my back went OUT and I couldn’t even stand up for a few days. And then I came down with what he had. I’m finally getting better with antibiotics and bed rest.
Now Mark is not a guy who withholds love. I have never known anyone who is more consistent in word and action to show his love and appreciation for me. But since we’ve been sick, though sleeping in the same bed, our physical intimacy has been very limited. We’ve both been trying not to make one another sick.
So the last few days I’ve been wondering if he still loves me as much. I ask him and he reassures me generously. What I realized this morning is that one of the ways that I communicate and receive love is through physical touch…holding one another, cuddling in bed, etc. Since that has been mostly unavailable for a few weeks, I begin to feel less connected to my partner and fear he is less connected to me.
This is the importance of touch in a conversation about well being. We need to be touched generously. Just being deprived of touch in a relationship that is kind, generous and communicative still has rattled my sense of security and well being.
It felt good to tell Mark about it this morning. As usual, he understood and told me he misses it too. He’s such a good man.


…Right. This posting is not about myself. I might fall into one category or another, however, what I try to do here is to present the male readers with a few relationship statuses some women are in and how this influences them in having a chance to pursue them.
Disclaimer: I am not some expert in this field, so I don’t claim to own the absolute truth. Some of my opinions might apply while some won’t. If you feel offended, don’t read.
First thing first, let’s make one thing clear: some women still want / desire to be pursued à la carte by a gentlemen with care, consideration and respect, even if that relationship with you won’t lead necessarily to marriage.
The single lady
[I am using the term lady, because I want to clearly differentiate between the classy and the not-so-classy-with-a-hint-of-tramp type of women. So, to be clear, to be a lady refers for the purpose of my posting, a woman who knows what she wants in life and seeks to achieve it gracefully (i.e. be it a career, a relationship, etc.)]
The single lady is that woman who you think is willing to fool around in order to experiment with different male partners, until she decides on the one who might meet some of her standards (the reason we strive for the best and for perfection is in order to achieve at least something resembling to our expectations), and this is why you find her the most approachable from her kind. Oh, by the way, you’re right! (wink wink)
Going back to the point, the single lady will have time for you, so she’ll dedicate her afternoons and evenings, as well as the weekends for seeing you and getting to know you better. Some of the single ladies might even do this in parallel with several guys at a time, just because they can, so why the hell not?
She is willing to experiment, try, test and taste, switch, start and finish any relationship without any remorse. The single lady, will, at some point, meet you.
What do you do? You don’t need to invest too much effort into attracting her because she’ll either like you and give you a chance, or not. Because, once again, she can and will do this.
You might prove to be the one that she’s been looking for, so, after a period of dating you will end up moving together, then after a while, she’ll give you signs that she wants to be proposed, you’ll get married, you’ll born children and bam, you’ll die.
If I’d be a guy, a single lady won’t attract me much because I already know the end of that story.
The divorced lady
This type will be fun to be with. She already went thorough a relationship, so she knows the drill – as a result, she won’t try the marriage too soon. She’s not that young anymore (hopefully – unless she married too young and divorced too soon – case in which, give her some time to grow up) so she’ll know – at least out of the failed relationship, what works for a man and what doesn’t. She will probably give you more space, because her ex-husband complaint about her being too suffocating, she’ll probably be more active and fun in bed, because the jerk cheated on her with a more luscious woman (not necessarily a lady), she’ll cook for you because she learned how to it so far, and all in all, she will try to compensate all the draw-backs of her previous relationship, on your benefit. Congrats! You just hit the jackpot. Oh, almost forgot, she’ll probably be emotionally vulnerable, and maybe think that all men are pigs so she’ll try to use you in turn. Yeeeey! Good for you, lad!
What do you do? Be a man. Make her feel special by taking her out to elegant dinners, go with her in the weekends to a remote location, somewhere fancy, buy her some girly stuff (flowers, some nice wine, tickets to theatre or ballet, etc.). She’ll slowly recover from the pain of a failed relationship and she will start seeing the light at the other end of the tunnel. She will regain faith in men, eventually, and she’ll be grateful for that. She’ll see you like the prince in the shining armour.
You don’t need to marry her. She might not even need it, but you can stay very good friends forever. Good times, guaranteed, anyway!
The divorced with children lady
This one is tricky: she will either want you as her children’s father, because the bastard left with the high-school nanny, or she’ll just use you for meaningless sex in between laundries, taking kids to school, her yoga classes or her job. A thing is for sure, this lady is BUSY.
What do you do? If you wanted children without putting any effort into it (LOL), that’s your chance. Show her you like the child (children), spend time with them, advice them (but be careful not crossing any delicate line), help them with their math homework, be fathery in a word. Once you’ll become a part of the family, maybe, just maybe, the mother will have some time for you as well (it’s supposed you’re helping out with the chores around the house).
If you didn’t want children, then you either make it very clear towards her from the very start (she might not accept the idea, though) or you can go with the flow and see what happens. If she likes you enough, even if you’re not committed to any serious thing between you too, you might have big chances for becoming her new fun hobby – as in a hobby (not a passion) she might just get sick of you one day, and dump you. Well, you took that chance already, when, as an asshole, you told her that you only like her but not her kids (Careful with this!).
Don’t panic! Single moms are everywhere. Oh, right – if she, in turn makes it clear that she’s only is interested in meaningless sex for distressing purposes, then here you are, you got yourself a purpose in life: you can pursue other single moms in between your dates with this one, so, you’ll end up into being a sort of healer to them. Don’t tell me you didn’t want to become a hero one day!
To be continued (thought to myself: dinner is burning).

Girl: forget you
Boy: forget you too
Girl: i hate you, you never loved me
Boy: I NEVER LOVED YOU?! Tell me why I go the extra distance. Tell me why I take a 3 hour bus to see you at 5AM in the morning. Tell me why I come and visit you at least once a month. I'm only 15. I can't drive, but I take the effort to come see you, even when it's in the pouring rain. Tell me why whenever you hang up, I'm always the one that calls you back until you pick up? Tell me why I always text you, just so you can reply back, so I know that you're okay. Tell me why I care for you so much? Tell me why I changed for you? I quit smoking, I quit rolling, and all my bad ways just to be with you. You never asked me to, but I did. You know why? Cause I'd do anything to be with you.

It’s okay to be not okay,
It’s okay to feel alone,
It’s okay to miss her face,
When you’re a lifetime away from home.
It’s good to feel wanted,
Even better to feel welcome,
It’s normal to feel daunted,
When she’s with someone so handsome.
It’s great when you’re together,
It’s grey when you’re apart,
It’s great to spend our time forever,
Especially when we’re apart.

Harasses me all the time
Now a friend is sharing my relationship with him
Ok yes I'm dating a guy. A great guy
Leave me alone
It's time to move on
Just because you are miserable doesn't mean I am and more importantly I'm
Not coming back to you
So get drunk and leave me alone
By the way we are improving my home with many projects and of course there is
The beautiful Harley Davidson just purchased
Was it worth it ? I'm laughing all the way to the bank

Love is one of the most important things in this world. It can bring you pain, sorrow, despair and confusion, also can bring you joy, security and happiness. When you love someone you give it your all, without thinking of consequences. Sometimes, you meet the right person who encourages you to love unconditionally, and other times you meet the one that is right for you, but there are too many words or facts unsaid. You find out when it’s too late, and cupid had stricken you with the arrow called “LOVE.” You want to run away, but you are linked to the one you love, because your feelings have made roots in your heart.
The Word of God talks about what real love is. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says: ” Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”
Is so good to know that God loves us with that kind of love and that is given to us unconditionally. We need to give our hearts to God first, He will take care of the rest. Now, make it a great day!!

Beschreibung: The heroine who tells her own story, lives in a small village in Dordogne and woks at a nearby factory. She needs a man, a real man, to forget her meanningless life.

One day, he brings a friend of his who rapidly fascinates then seduces her. Eventually, she realises that Bob might well be a pimp on the look for a new girl to put to work. She leaves the village without looking back, feeling free.


You may recognize some difficulty when getting into a Venezuelan dating website. Online dating may seem not the easiest thing to do especially if you are left to encounter a problem. If you’re a divorcee, a shy person or have had several relationships broken down, it’s your chance to meet beautiful Venezuelan ladies. All you need is to make up your mind and make a change.
You need to feel confident that the Venezuelan dating website will provide you that change that you need. Don’t expect to find a date if you have doubts you can actually find one for yourself. Always stay positive in everything you do especially that the site can possibly help you with your most important role. Encourage yourself and move onwards by putting the strongest profile that can convince ladies you are what they are searching for. The online site will surely help you if you thoroughly research for the right service that meets your demands. So help yourself by finding the best help.
Reflect on what you believe while building your profile in the Venezuelan dating website. Your beliefs are what you will cherish the most, therefore, placing them for view by possible dates. Be honest to yourself much as you want familiar terms with yourself. Include in your profile of who you really are and what you really want.

While building your values, ensure you are flexible enough to consider the values of other people.

Exploring the Relationship Between Cigarette Smoking Among Adolescents and Adults in the United States
Tworek C, Giovino G, Yang J, Wakefield M, Cummings KM, Chaloupka FJ.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the relationship between state-specific estimates of youth and adult cigarette smoking prevalences, overall, and after adjusting for cigarette prices and strength of smoke-free air laws. METHODS: Crude relationships were determined using state-specific adolescent and adult smoking estimates from three national surveillance systems conducted during 1997, 1999, or 2000. Weighted least-squares regression analyses were conducted to assess crude and adjusted relationships between state-specific estimates of adolescent and adult smoking. RESULTS: In each crude analysis conducted, adolescent smoking prevalence was significantly and positively related to adult smoking prevalence. These relationships were attenuated, but generally persisted, after controlling for cigarette prices and strength of smoke-free air laws. CONCLUSIONS: Results support the premise that adult smoking influences adolescent smoking behavior. Funders and policy makers need to consider that an effective youth prevention strategy may be to curb smoking among adults.

Secrets to a Strong Marriage
by Cindy R. Williams
I would like to share a secret or two with you. They are tried and true simple things to do to create a stronger marriage.
Secret number one: There are no parachutes in a good marriage.
Secret number two: Put your spouse first.
What is a parachute in a marriage? It is your secret escape mechanism you keep just in case your spouse makes you mad, doesn't live up to your expectations, doesn't understand you . . . fill in the blank. It is there for you to use when the going gets tough---like an escape clause.
Get rid of it.
Make a promise to each other---a very serious---even sacred promise, that you will not ever strap a parachute to your back and bail out of the marriage. Then as disagreements and disappointments come---and they will come---you can admit that you love each other in spite of these challenges. You will get through this---together.
Issues arise, tempers flare, trust is tested, but if you have made a deep and clear promise that you are in it for the long hall, as in FOREVER, you will find that this attitude of no parachutes will help you get through the tough spots.
I often tell my husband of 23 years in the very middle of a disagreement that I am angry and hurt right now, but I love him and am committed to him forever without a parachute. Since he doesn't have a parachute either, we are truly stuck with each other. So we best love each other, come what may. Not a pretty way of putting it, but it is none the less true, and I wouldn't have it anyother way. The issues don't seem so insurmountable, and it gives us both a feeling of security. That doesn't mean we just let the issue go, but we rededicate ourselves to working it out, fixing it, growing and improving together.
The second secret is putting your spouse first. Easier said than done. There are so many things that take your time and pull at you. Some possible things are work, children, activities, sports, church callings, community responsibilites, PTSA, writing, housework, pets, errands, extended family, friends, neighbors . . . the list goes on and on.
So how do you put your spouse first?
You add them to your prayers, each and everyone. You write their name in your planner to remind yourself to do something to help them each day, or do and say something kind to them. You always, ALWAYS tell them you love them with a smile on your face, at least twice a day. Once in person,(if they are not out of town,) and the other can be through a text, email or the phone. Smiling is a critical part of this exercise. Smiling makes not only the recipient feel better, but the giver finds more joy. Smiles create a win/win situation.
Now there is one more thing that is very powerful in putting your spouse first. Gratitude. Tell your spouse how much you appreciate something he/she did that very day. Even if you are angry with your spouse. You may have to dig deep, but it truly is possible to find at least one thing to thank your sweetheart for. You will be amazed how much peace and feelings of kindness this will create in your marriage.
Now that you know the two simple, but very powerful secrets to a strong marriage, I must add that there really are a few good reasons in my book to end a marriage. They are adultery, physical or emotional abuse of you or your children, and severe selfishness. I know, I have faced all of those in my short first marriage and chose through much prayer and pondering to divorce and create a new life for myself and my first child. That, however, is a future blog. Suffice it to say that for now that other than these horribly destructive actions, the no parachute and putting your spouse first can take your marriage to a new, and stronger level.


The next #HEJC discussion will take place Thursday 26th February, at 11pm London time on Twitter. To see what this means for your time zone visit Time.is or join the Facebook event. For more information about the Health Economics Journal Club and how to take part, click here.
The paper for discussion is a working paper published by the Canadian Centre for Health Economics (CCHE). The authors are Koffi-Ahoto Kpelitse, Rose Anne Devlin and Sisira Sarma. The title of the paper is:
The effect of income on obesity among Canadian adults
Following the meeting, a transcript of the Twitter discussion can be downloaded here.
Links to the article
Summary of the paper
This is the first paper to examine the causal relationship between income and obesity in the Canadian context. To do so, they examined data from five biennial Canadian Community Health Survey (from 2000/01 to 2009/10), a nationally representative survey collecting information on over 100,000 individuals each survey.
Initially, the paper explored the Grossman model, which suggested increasing income would promote healthy lifestyle investments, and thus lead to a negative relationship between income and obesity. Previous studies that examined this link were discussed, some (eg. Lindahl (2005)) demonstrating a negative relationship; some (eg. Schmeiser (2009)) demonstrating a positive relationship; some (eg. Cawley (2010)) finding no evidence of a causal relationship.
Additionally, education and employment were explored. Again, the Grossman model was used as a basis, predicting i) a negative relationship between education level and obesity with a greater income effect amongst educated people and ii) a negative relationship between employment level and obesity. However, regarding education, prior studies discussed have shown “mixed results”, and regarding employment, the authors were not aware of any study to examine this causal relationship, but suggested the relationship was ambiguous.
Finally, the relationship between gender and obesity were discussed. Numerous studies have shown negative association between income and BMI amongst women, but for men, the relationship is unclear (some showing positive relationship, some negative, and some no significant relationship at all). The importance of the effect of obesity on labour market outcomes (outlining the “large” empirical literature showing obese women more likely to suffer discrimination in the labour market) was outlined.
In this study, the authors found that:
- From 2000/01 to 2009/10, BMI and obesity rates amongst both men and women have risen.
- For men, the obesity rate rises from 19.48% for those with income below $10k to 26.09% for those with income over $80k.
- For women obesity falls from 26.71% for those below $10k to 17.38% for those with income over $80k.
- For men, a 1% rise in household income leads to 0.027 point decrease in BMI (2SLS estimate); 0.084kg reduction and 0.27% point decrease in probability of being obese (linear IV procedure).
- For women, a 1% rise in household income leads to 0.113 point decrease in BMI (much higher than for men; this used a 2SLS estimate); 0.300kg reduction; and 0.76% point decrease in probability of being obese (linear IV procedure).
- For men the effect of income on BMI was only demonstrated at higher BMI distribution, while for women the effect of income on BMI was found throughout with a larger effect at higher BMI.
- Education had a variable relationship amongst both men and women, not consistent with the theoretical prediction that the effect would be larger amongst educated people.
- The effect of employment for men was mixed, with a negative effect of income on BMI only in employed men and a negative effect of income on obesity probability only in unemployed men.
- The effect of employment for women was more consistent with theoretical predictions, showing negative effects of income on both BMI and on the probability of being obese across employment status.
- Higher BMI and probability of obesity was associated with older age, marriage (much greater effect in women), household size (much greater effect in women) and home ownership.
- Lower BMI and probability of obesity was associated with being widowed/separated/divorced, being an immigrant and living in urban area (in men).
In summary, this study supports the findings of Lindahl, and stands in contrast to Schmeiser, Cawley and other related studies.
- Why might there be significant variation in findings between the different studies discussed?
- Are there ways in which unemployment and neighbourhood income might directly influence BMI?
- Is the set of control variables used in the authors’ models satisfactory?
- Is it of concern that policies to increase household income could be regarded a pure, explicit public health policy?
- Are there relevant studies from other countries?
- To what extent are these findings generalisable?
