Co-parenting is when you and your former partner share in raising your children after a divorce or breakup. It means both parents have a hands-on role in increasing the kids. When both parents cooperate and share responsibilities, kids do best.
It’s usually best for your child if your co-parenting arrangements keep you both involved in your child’s life. But it’s not always easy to create new parenting arrangements when a relationship breaks down.
For example, you and your former partner might both want as much time as possible with your child, or your former partner might not want to see your child. You might see equal time as a fair solution – but this might not be possible, and it might not be the best option for your child.
There are practical issues to sort through, too, like where you both live. Children generally do better when their parents live near each other, but this isn’t an option for all separated families.
Whatever your situation, you and your former partner need to make clear decisions about how you’ll parent your child now and in future.
It’ll be easier if you can both keep open minds and try to step into your child’s shoes as you work out your co-parenting arrangements.
To meet everyone’s needs, you might have to make some compromises.
Developing a Co-Parenting Plan
A co-parenting plan is a valuable way to set out the details of your new relationship.
To create one, you and your former partner need to discuss your rights and responsibilities about your child and set up a way to work out disputes.
A co-parenting plan should address:
- a contact or visitation schedule
- children’s medical needs or concerns
- holidays and special events
- decision-making guidelines.
The plan should include backup arrangements if your child needs to stay home from child care or school.
That might mean talking to your former partner about how they can help out. You might be able to discuss this in person, on the phone or via email.
Once your co-parenting plan is in place and working, you need to agree on what happens if one of you needs to change the program or change circumstances in the future.
You might be able to sort out a co-parenting plan together. If you can’t, you can get help from a family dispute resolution practitioner, mediator or relationship counsellor.
What the Law Says About Co-Parenting
Australia’s Family Law Act says both parents are responsible for the care and welfare of children up to the age of 18.
The law presumes it’s best for most children if both parents cooperate and share equal parental responsibility.

Tips for Successful Co-Parenting
Here are some tips for co-parenting successfully with your former partner.
Aim to Be Flexible
It benefits everyone to be a little bit flexible. For example, if your former partner is sometimes late for pick-ups, it might help to be ready with alternative plans.
Try to keep in mind that getting upset about a change your former partner makes might make it tricky the next time you need to change things.
Your plans will also need to adapt as your child grows up and his needs and circumstances change – for example when he starts school or takes up a new sport.
Try to Accept Different Parenting Styles
Your former partner’s parenting style might change without you around. It might take some getting used to, especially if your former partner has different values or beliefs.
One way to deal with this is to work out whether you don’t like your former partner’s style because of your preferences or because of severe essential requirements. For example:
- Choice: ‘I don’t like our child eating so many lollies at your place’.
- Basic requirement: ‘Our child must have an insulin injection every day.
If you don’t like something because of your preferences, you might be able to let it slide. Then you can concentrate on things that affect your child’s health and safety.
As long as your child is safe and secure, different parenting approaches and styles can help your child learn that different rules apply in different situations.
Help Your Child Feel Connected to Her Other Parent
If it’s not upsetting for you, you could keep a framed photo of your family that includes your former partner.
You could also try to be optimistic about what your child is doing when he’s at his other parent’s house – for example, ‘Wow, that looks like a great cubby house. What a fun weekend you’ve had!’
Please encourage your child to send messages or emails to her other parents when she’s with you. Even if your child’s other parent lives far away, it’s good for your child to send and receive regular emails, phone calls, text messages and letters.
Keep Your Former Partner up to Date
Your child will benefit when his other parent knows what’s going on for him. You and your former partner could keep each other up to date by using a shared online calendar or app that lists your child’s weekly schedule, plus any special events.
Contact your child’s school to make sure your former partner gets duplicates of school records and newsletters.
Plan Ahead for Tasks, Activities and Events
You might want your former partner to be involved in or take responsibility for tasks like child and family health visits or school outings.
If you’re on good terms, you could plan to go to activities like parent-teacher interviews or school concerts together.
If you’re not able to go together, you’ll need to plan who’s going to which event or how you’ll handle it if you’re both there.
Give Your Former Partner Some Time to Learn the Ropes
If you did most of the caring for your children before your separation, your former partner might take a little time to learn about the practical side of caring for children.
It can be tempting to criticise, but pointing out the positives is much better for everyone.
Be Prepared for Some Negative Feelings
When your child is with her other parent, you might feel a sense of loss, loneliness and disappointment.
It can help if you try to look at the positive side. For example, time apart from your child can give you a chance to rest, relax and pursue relationships, hobbies or interests.
Planning can help you cope when your child is away. You could arrange to do some exercise, see friends for a meal, visit family or see a movie.
If possible, agree in advance on the kind of contact you’ll have with your child while he’s with his other parent.
For example, you might have brief phone calls, emails or text messages. Try to put on a happy face for your child – this will help with the transition.
Healthy Co-Parenting After Divorce
Going through a divorce or separation is a difficult transition. It will often become more complex when you have kids.
If your relationship with your partner has broken down, divorce gives you both the opportunity to be happier apart from each other.
If the two of you are happier separately, this helps you maintain healthy and positive relationships with your children, as well as assisting you with co-parenting positively and collaboratively.
You will need to handle many legal matters during the divorce process, including children’s matters and property settlement, and you’ll need expert legal advice along the way.
Read on to learn our straightforward advice for positive co-parenting after divorce.
We have the best range of change mats for your baby nursery change table right here at My Baby Nursery.
Remember What’s Important
If you’re going through a divorce, remember that the wellbeing of your child or children is the essential part of the equation.
You may have disputes with your former partner, leading to hurt feelings on both sides. But working to maintain positive communication will help to create a happy and healthy environment for your children.
You can do this by focusing on the primary job of parenting and cooperating with your former partner.
Co-Parenting After a Divorce and Avoiding Conflict
Children do well when they have good relationships with their parents and when their parents are both stable and supportive, but parents do not need to be in a relationship or living together to provide this.
Studies have shown that marriage isn’t what’s most important to a child’s wellbeing. The important thing is having a loving relationship with parents who aren’t constantly in conflict.
According to a study published by the Australian Institute of Family Studies(AIFS), an effective method for avoiding conflict with your former partner is to focus on the interests and preferences of your children when a potential dispute arises
The most common way parents said they dealt with potential disputes was by focusing on cooperation and recognising the importance of compromise, flexibility, and good communication.
The study states that focusing on cooperation was an effective way for parents to deal with potential disputes.
A less positive way of avoiding disputes is for parents to have little or no contact with each other, a solution called ‘parallel parenting’, which divorced parents should try to move beyond.
The Divorce Process
If you’re currently considering or going through a divorce, the process can be quite lengthy and confusing. Here is a brief overview of the divorce process:
- To get a divorce, you need to be separated from your partner for at least 12 months before you can apply for a divorce. You can also be separated and still living in the same home.
- Once you apply for a divorce, it typically takes about three months for the divorce to be finalised.
- Deciding on children’s matters and the property settlement is separate from the divorce process itself, and these issues are typically settled before the divorce is finalised.
- If one partner has made the divorce application on their own, not jointly with both partners, and you have children under 18, then you will need to attend a divorce hearing at Court. This is to ensure proper living arrangements have been made for the children.
Settling Children’s Matters During the Divorce Process
Coming to an amicable agreement with your former partner is the best way to handle parenting after separation and divorce.
In this scenario, both parents will have equal shared parental responsibility after a separation. This means both parents will be consulting each other for decisions that have long-term impacts.
If you can agree on co-parenting after separation and divorce, then you could enter into a Parenting Plan or Consent Order outlining the agreement.
Can’t agree with your former partner? Depending on your circumstances, you can attend mediation. If you still cannot agree after mediation, you will need to apply to the Court to obtain Parenting Orders.
The Court will always consider what is in the best interests of the children, including:
- The need to protect children from violence
- The right of children to know and be cared for by both parents
- The right of children to spend time and communicate with both parents
More specifically, the Court can make several decisions directly related to the care of children, including:
- Who children will primarily live with
- The number of time children will spend with each parent
- Whether one or both parents are responsible for critical decision making
- Whether or not relocating the children is appropriate
- Talk to us for advice
Going through a separation or divorce is complicated, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Writing a Parenting Plan or Consent Order
For co-parenting at work, it’s best to write a parenting plan. This is an agreement made between you and your former partner. It doesn’t involve going to Court.
The parenting plan details:
- how you will share parenting responsibilities
- who the kids will live with
- the amount of time to be spent with each parent
- holidays and special events
- decision-making guidelines
- health care
- financial care
A parenting plan is not legally enforceable. If you want a legally binding document, you and your former partner can prepare a written consent order. This is similar to a parenting plan. It covers parenting and financial arrangements for your kids, but it’s enforceable by the Courts.
A consent order needs to be approved by the Court, but neither parent needs to attend Court.
Contact the Family Law National Enquiry Centre on 1300 352 000 (apart from WA) or email firstname.lastname@example.org for more information.
Child Support Payments
A binding child support agreement is an agreement between both parents about child support payments.
It can be made for any amount that both parents agree on. It might include cash payments or non-cash payments such as school fees.
Each parent will need to get legal advice before entering the agreement.
You can also apply for a child support assessment. This tells you how much child support you should pay or receive. It’s based on both parents’ incomes and family circumstances.
If you can’t agree on a parenting plan, you can get help from a:
- family relationship centre
- relationship or family counsellor
- dispute resolution service
These options are cheaper, more accessible and less stressful than going to Court. Call the Family Relationship Advice Line on 1800 050 321 for information.
The next step is seeking legal advice and getting a ‘court parenting order’ or a ‘financial order’. This is a plan made for you by the courts.
You will probably need to go to family dispute resolution or mediation before applying for a parenting order.
The central courts dealing with parenting orders or financial orders are the Family Court of Australia, the Family Court of Western Australia and, in rural areas, magistrates’ courts.
You can go straight to the Family Court for a parenting order (without first trying dispute resolution) if:
- your former partner might abuse your child
- your former partner might physically harm your child
- the matter is very urgent
- the issue can’t be solved (for example, your former partner refuses to negotiate)
Dealing With Special Celebrations When You’re Co-Parenting
Sometimes the biggest days of the year – for example, unique religious festivals or holidays – are the most challenging times to work out parenting plans that suit everyone.
Being alone on a momentous day without your child is difficult for many separated parents.
Some parents split special days in half. For others, it works better to alternate parenting on special days every year.
You can also hold celebrations before or after the special day. If you can, hold on to some traditions you previously shared, like opening presents in bed in the morning or sharing a special dessert.
It can also help talk with your child in advance about the arrangements for her birthday and other special days.
Try to share information with your former partner about the more significant gifts you might buy for a special occasion to avoid doubling up.

글 // Amsterdam // Society Valentine’s Day: The Single View 12 2 2018 Putting a spotlight on those normally kept in the dark by Valentine's Day. The only thing worse than Valentine’s Day is the knowing sneer of that person who declares, “You know it’s a fake holiday made up by card companies and florists, don’t you?” Yes, of course, we do. Everyone knows Valentine’s Day's a commercial ruse designed to steal our money and make us feel inadequate. But we go ahead and participate because sometimes you've got to make sacrifices for love. (Or to at least keep the illusion alive.) That said it would be better if Valentine’s Day were less about consumption and more about reflection: what does love mean? Is it the same for everyone? Are we on Tinder yet? To get some interesting answers to these questions we decided to ask some singletons – putting a spotlight on those normally obscured by the holiday of Saint Valentine. Here’s what we found out: Rob, 27 – a serial dater from London. Hi Rob. What do you think love is? A combination of chemical reactions leading to certain emotions. Charming. How is single life? Sundays are the worst. Sundays are the bad thing, but Thursday to Saturday is great. What’s dating like in your city? Incredible. A plethora of extremely interesting people that come from the most diverse backgrounds. In London there are so many beautiful people with lots to say. Sevda – a photographer based in Hamburg. How do you know when you’re in love and not just infatuated with someone? In that moment when I truly trust a person and when I’m starting to think the other person is going to stay in my life forever. That includes post-relationships. Even if things don’t work out, I know that my love for this person and their love for me will grow into a deep friendship. Infatuation is less about caring for the other person in it, more about me, how I feel, what I want. Love is not so selfish. What’s the dating scene like in Hamburg? It’s crazy! After being single for one-and-a-half years I still have no clue how it works. I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. Some people might say it’s easy: you make contact with someone at a bar and see what happens. For them it’s the normal thing to do, without a doubt. For me that’s too easy, that’s just hooking up, it’s not dating. I’m looking for something else, something with a bit more magic. In a relationship, would you rather be the person who loves the most or that is most loved? In my eyes that’s something that continually changes in a healthy relationship. Sometimes you are the one who loves the most and then during another period, without really noticing it’s changed, it’s your partner. It’s important to me that both are pushing each other. I couldn’t stand a partner who loves me more than I love them. That wouldn’t feel right or fair to me. Josephine – a blogger from Berlin Is the need to find love overrated in this digital era? It’s probably underrated. Everyone is on Tinder and Grindr. I think it’s stupid to think that you can find someone to love on those apps. How will you celebrate Valentine’s day? I’m actually going to visit my gay best friend. We didn’t really plan it but it has turned out this way. We barely see each other so I guess we’re gonna have a very romantic reunion. What are the best and worst things about being single? Positive: I don’t have to share my bed with anyone and I have all the space to myself. Negative: There’s nothing negative about it except for the fact that no one sees my expensive lingerie. What is the one thing your ex doesn’t know? I honestly don’t think there’s anything; and if there is then I don’t remember because I will tell the person I am with everything. Tobias – a tattoo artist What’s love? I don’t know yet. Maybe it’s the need for someone who you accept for their good and bad habits. Or it is just a cold glass of your favourite gin & tonic? What’s it like to be single? It’s great because you don’t have to care – it sucks because there is no one who cares for you. How will you celebrate Valentine’s day? I will be working with friends & colleagues on the International Tattoo Convention in Budapest. Kaya – What’s love? True love is the soul’s recognition of its counterpart in another. Nah, I’m just quoting Wedding Crashers. Love is warm fuzzies. Worst date you have ever been on? The other night. But it was because of me. I had way too many work emails to get through so I was e-mailing the whole way through and then had to leave early to use my computer. What’s your take on open relationships? Each to their own. Personally I couldn’t do it but if there are two people who are both honestly open about being comfortable with it then by all means go ahead. Ben – a backpacker and student What’s it like being single? Liberating: I’d rather be single than be with the wrong person. How will you be celebrating Valentine’s Day? Chilling with my newly single housemate. Pizza, Budweiser and shit TV. What’s the worst date you’ve ever been on? A date she planned. She took me to a family barbecue and introduced me to her parents. On the first date. What object represents love to you? A backpack and no plan of where I’ll be tomorrow. Leslie — a model Is the need to find love overrated in this digital era? I think you can’t overrate love, but apps like Tinder can give you the wrong impression of it. What are the best and worst things about being single? The best thing about being single is being free and making your own decisions, for example going travelling. The worst thing is not having someone to cuddle when you come home. What is the dating scene like in your city? Hamburg is not as crazy as Berlin. We need some new people! What objects represent love for you? I still have this super ugly stuffed animal and this green pig from my ex-boyfriend. I love it because it reminds me of our time together.


So yesterday I came across an article in Slate about a new book by Iris Krasnow, who has spent every July for the past decade away from her husband of almost a quarter century. Her book is called The Secret Lives of Wives: Women Share What It Really Takes To Stay Married, and much of it has to do with how spending significant chunks of time away from your spouse may actually be good for your marriage, especially if you’re a woman.
“…the idea that absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that is a cliché. But it is a cliché for a reason,” writes Jessica Grose at Slate.
The benefits of the time spent apart? It helps women become more emotionally self-reliant. It empowers women to recognize that the emotionally fulfilling relationship of marriage is still not “an intimacy oasis,” as a 1980 study from the Journal of Marriage and Family describes it. Also, it benefits couples because they are forced to communicate. It’s easy in the chaos of daily life to go through days with out ever needing to really speak to your spouse. But when communicating is all there is to your relationship, many wives say that time is incredibly fulfilling.
What about you? If you’re married, how often do you spend time away from your spouse? And when you do, does your marriage benefit?

Statement of Faith
Positional Statement on Sexuality:
The Bible is not silent on the subject of human sexuality. God's intention is for sexual union to be expressed exclusively within the male/female monogamous relationship of marriage. Other expressions of human sexuality such as premarital and extramarital intercourse, homosexuality, and other deviant sexual practices are inconsistent with scripture and the teaching of this church. Therefore, this church reserves the right to deny membership to individuals, regardless of sexual preference, who continue to blatant, unrepentant sexual immorality or cohabitation individuals who are commonly know to be sexually active. The church, however, takes seriously our responsibility to lovingly provide biblical counsel and teaching to those who are struggling with sexual sin.

The Partner visas allow the partner or spouse of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen to live in Australia.
Onshore Partner Visa is called Subclass 820 and after two years Subclass 801 visa will be processed automatically.
Offshore Partner Visa is called Subclass 309 and after two years Subclass 100 visa will be processed automatically.
The temporary Partner visa (subclass 820 ) is granted first and lets you stay in Australia while the permanent Partner visa (subclass 801) is processed.
The temporary Partner (Provisional) visa (subclass 309) is granted first and lets you stay in Australia while the permanent Partner (Migrant) visa (subclass 100) is processed.
LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP
If you are in long term relationship, a permanent visa can be granted immediately.
If you had been with your partner for either:
three years or more
two years or more and you and your partner have a dependent child of your relationship.
If you are married, usually you must be 18 or older when you apply. This is because usually, you must be 18 or older for your marriage to be valid under Australian law.
If you are a de facto partner, you must be 18 or older when you apply.
You must be the spouse (married), or a de facto partner of an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen.
You must have repaid, or have arranged to repay, any outstanding debts to the Australian government.
You should have a genuine relationship with your partner.
You will need to show that you and your partner have a commitment to a shared life together, to the exclusion of all others. You and your partner must live together, or at least not live apart on a permanent basis.
The Department of Immigration will look at a number of aspects of your relationship, including:
Cohabitation: Usually evidenced through showing correspondence addressed to both of you at the same address
Financial Interdependence: For example, joint bank accounts, joint ownership of property, joint financial commitment such as leases, mortgages, insurance policies.
Social aspects of the relationship: Joint travel, joint social activities, joint participation in cultural or sporting activities.
Defacto Relationship – 12 Months Cohabitation
A defacto relationship would require evidence that you have lived with your partner for the last 12 months. The Department of Immigration requires documentary evidence that you have lived together (for example, a joint lease or correspondence sent to you at the same address).
It is possible to get a waiver of the 12-month requirement in cases where you are unable to live together due to exceptional circumstances.
If you are married, you do not need to show 12 months of cohabitation but will need to show that you are currently living together. If you have had your relationship registered in an Australian state or territory, you would be similarly exempt from the 12-month cohabitation requirement.
HEALTH AND CHARACTER
You will need to provide full health and police checks. If you do have a medical condition, a waiver of the usual health requirements is possible where the cost to the Australian community of treating the condition is not undue.

It’s 5AM when my alarm goes off for work every morning. I open my eyes, and my mind automatically starts racing. Things I need to get done at work that day, project deadlines, and all of the things I’ve got to get finished up around the house once I get off work that evening all loom. Why is there always so much stuff on my to do list and never enough time to get it all done?
I grab my phone while I’m waiting for the shower to heat up and scroll through my notifications, half awake. Knowing she’s not up, I could send her a text message, “Good morning, beautiful. I hope you’re sleeping well and I wish I were still sleeping next to you.” This text serves as two reminders: I want her to know she’s the first thing on my mind. And more importantly, I need her to realize that, regardless of how stressful or busy my days are, she’s still priority. But this isn’t normally reality, is it? I won’t say, “I never do this” but I will be vulnerable and admit I don’t do this nearly enough as I should. Instead I’ll log into Instagram or Facebook, nosing into everyone else’s life, and maybe, just maybe I’ll send that text to her on the way to work.
I’m sure you’ve heard these thoughts. “Our generation is the worst. Millennials don’t know how to be loyal. Social media is killing love.” You’ve heard it all and probably felt it, too. We’ve all been there – laying on the couch with your partner, both mindlessly scrolling quickly through Instagram or Facebook. That’s just become the norm.
Relationships these days lack direction. People “date,” but what the heck does that even mean anymore? Hanging out a couple nights a week? Texting all day? It’s safe to say something is missing, but what is causing relationships to falter at the rate they are? Did the previous generation have to deal with DMs and hundreds of other people ‘liking’ their partners selfies? Nope. But guess what? It’s not technology’s fault. It’s our fault for using this as an excuse and accepting the behavior.
If you meet someone and go out on a date and they never text you – that’s their problem, not the phone’s problem. If they only want to snapchat or text to get to know you, that’s your dates choice. In case you are wondering, PHONES DO STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLACE CALLS. If they don’t take you on a real date – that’s not a technology issue either. Real dates still exist, you just decided not to go on one. (Yes, I’m also guilty of this – in fact we all are, my partner and I just had this conversation yesterday.)
Relationships thrive on communication. Our most intimate emotions are reserved for the person we love, so how is it acceptable to never show this to them?
We’ve accepted so many unacceptable things: sitting at the dinner table with our phones in front of our faces, arguing over text messages in the middle of a busy work day where you’re only half committed to your work and the conversation you’re having with your partner, publishing every live second of our lives on social media.
The same principles apply that always have. It was never socially acceptable to be with someone and cheat on them with another person. Maybe 30 years ago it was leaving a note with your home phone number or sending a love letter in a mail – regardless it was still inappropriate. You may not be “cheating on your partner” but I would definitely say you’re cheating yourself and your partner out of a valuable relationship. We experience lack of communication, attention, passion, intimacy, and even lack of love. So why are we okay with this and all of the communication shortcuts that have become so common?
Blaming social media for our relationship problems is no different than blaming the car for a drunk driver – it’s all about how we chose to use it. Instead of blaming technology and social media, raise your standards! Call your significant other during the day even though you could just text them to tell them whatever you need to say, GO ON DATES, spend uninterrupted time with your partner, and put down your phones – this doesn’t mean you can’t look at your phone, but there’s a time and place and date night isn’t it.
So set new standards – there are plenty of people out there who want the same things you do, you just have to be patient and hold onto the new standards you’ve set – it’s a learning process for everyone, including me and you. Make an effort. Old-fashioned love needs to make another round. Take a minute and tell her she’s beautiful. Call her on your way home from work and say, “get dressed, I’m on my way home and we’ve got plans” for a date night rather than just the common conversation of, “what do you want for dinner? I don’t know, what would you like?” The days of holding hands, opening the car door, taking her out “just because,” sending her flowers just to make her smile, and leaving her notes should never be gone.
We have to be children when it comes to love. We have to be vulnerable and free. That can’t happen when we’re preoccupied with the details of everyone else’s lives. Focus on each other – when it’s all said and done, that’s all you really have. Appreciate her, and show her how much she means to you. Bust most importantly, put your phone down and dial into what’s right in front of you.

There is, of course, a lot going on in this scene and yet not nearly enough, it’s only one conversation we see between them and it’s really good at conveying a lot of information for such a short thing, but I can’t help but wish we’d had at least three of these.

I love her patience without being a doormat here, it’s so very motherly. She doesn’t lash back out at him when he’s a rotten little shit or when he spurns the comforts she tries to give him. She makes her reactions clear, but it’s never in a way that’s meant to hurt him, but only ever to show that he’s hurting her or that he’s saying bullshit. Like, disagree if you want, but I will never see it any other way than Frigga being absolutely amazing in this scene.
And I think this is what really puts me on Asgard’s side a lot of the time, because they’re never cruel to him. Frigga brings him books and that cell is very clean and comfortable and he has nice clothes and well kept furniture and whatever else he needs. We have no idea if he gets out of the cell sometimes (I would assume so, but the truth is that we have zero evidence either way—especially because Loki is a super, super, super unreliable narrator and this scene is showing that very clearly), but beyond that, he’s very comfortable.
Yet Loki still spits poison, even when she comes because she cares, because she loves him. He twists her kindness around on her, because he’s just so viciously angry that he wants no one to be nice to him, he wants to be the victim here, he wants to be angry and say there’s nothing good that any of them ever did for him. That it’s all a lie, that now that the truth is out, now they finally treat him honestly.
So, when Frigga still treats him with kindness, when Frigga still treats him as her son, he immediately has to reach out and twist around why Odin and Thor aren’t giving him the same kind of visits and completely ignores deeper context (that he has pushed them away, that he has deliberately made them angry, that he has slapped away every offer of help, that he has hurt people they care about, that they have legitimate reasons to be angry with him), because Loki wants to be angry.
He’s not acknowledging that she’s trying to reach out to him here, that she would offer him other things, because he’s a spoiled rotten little shit in the middle of a fucking tantrum. I love Loki, watching this scene several times over to comb over it for details, my heart genuinely aches for this little shit and how I want him to be happy and at peace with himself and how I want him to get all this poisonous anger out of his system, I want him to learn how to be honest with people again. But I’m not going to give him leeway that he doesn’t deserve, not when he takes someone reaching out to him and twists it back on them, just to be vicious and angry.
(This post does not cover everything, because this is a series of posts about TDW and often times one post is not enough to cover even a single scene, so if this seems only half-done, that would be why.)

Even though we don't see or talk to each other too often,
I wish you nothing but the best this season and for the coming New Year.

Today, my husband and I have been married for eleven years. It truly doesn't seem like we've been married 11 years. It's gone by so quickly! We have a happy, good life. I wouldn't trade our life for anything. We have two awesome little girls, an awesome house and the two of us? We still get along very well together, I'd say even more-so than when we first got married. Age and years together has made us stronger and closer. My Mikey is my best friend. Always has been and always will be.
He's a super dad to our two little girls. They love him soooo much.
This past year was perhaps the best turning point in our lives when we moved into our fabulous new house.
We aren't doing anything too fancy schmancy for our anniversary; that's just how we roll. We're camping this weekend and that's just perfect: spending time together and with our kids and family is what we love to do.


From one of my former speed daters, Sarah DeMoor (now Sarah Hodack) alumni of 05/06/11 Spring Catholic Speed Dating Age 20-35, who got married last weekend: “Haha you’re right about no more speed dating for me…however, I have to say that me doing that once was the start of me meeting Troy. (After attending she went on other blind dates)… But then my aunt and one of her friends set me up on another blind date, and this time with Troy! The rest is history. What I learned for sure is that you can’t just sit at home and hope to meet someone. You have to go out and put yourself on a limb and trust God has a plan.” Photo by Seth James Demoor, of OneBillionStories.com. Used with permission of Sarah Hodack.
Matt & Brandi knew they had to circle the word “date” for each other after the first seven minutes of conversation during their mini-date at a Denver Catholic Speed Dating event. What happened after is history in the making.
Text to Anna B., Founder of Denver Catholic Speed Dating LLC
from Brandi B. 9:37 p.m. 11/13/12:
Congratulations to Brandi & Matt who met at Fall Catholic Speed Dating Age 20-30, Oct. 22, 2011!!! They were engaged at Johnson Reservoir in the company of close family on Nov. 13, 2012!!!
Brandi B. and Matt M. marked stars and circles for each other around the word “Date” on the sheets they handed in during the Fall Catholic Speed Dating Oct. 22, 2011. When he called her, she asked that they got to know each other on a platonic level for about three months before getting into a relationship. On New Year’s Day, they announced their relationship. Close with each other’s families since then, they are among happy couples emerging from DCSD events. Ever since then, I call Quincy, the bartender at Old Spaghetti Factory Denver a “lucky for love” bartender since he was our main restaurant guy that day. They cleared me permission to share a few favorite photos of them… here they are.
Catholic Speed Dating Event Draws 51 people, results in some 34 dates:
So why speed date?
To answer the question of whether or not you know if you want to continue a conversation with someone of the opposite sex if it hasn’t started beyond “Hi” or “How are you?” Or to see if your interest can go beyond just thinking someone is attractive or might be interesting. Compatibility can’t be established based on looks alone. Discovering if two people already have a rhythm of conversation can be telling toward knowing if there’s a connection. Here, you have a chance to start a conversation that’s beyond 5 words in a setting where both parties have dating within the faith in mind. And take it from there…
At Denver Catholic Speed Dating events, participants have 8 to 12 mini-”dates,” getting to meet and talk with each person for 6-9 minutes. It is fashioned to take place in cozy, focused and date-style setting.
Afterward, each participant will have timely results delivered to them via email about their own scorecards, matches made and those interested in them. It makes for a great evening out and the chance to meet potential dating interest.


Last Friday night, while I am standing in a small circle of adults I mention that I have two little girls and the first reaction is that their father better start contemplating his scare tactics for future boyfriends when they come to the house to meet us. The things that are said would suggest my daughters could bring home young men that would disrespect them, lack the confidence to demand a good man, or even worse case scenario not know how to stand up for themselves.
I understand the light-hearted comments are well-meaning but since we found out we were having a girl the same comments have been repeated over and over. Instead of hearing that each time I say that I have two girls, I'd like to hear "you should start working on their uppercut". I don't want to raise my girls to become women that need a man to protect them. I hope for my girls to be able to recognize a respectful man, a man that values them for who they are, and treasures them as I do. Strong women only in this household and men that can match that.
Can I get a witness?!


Never give up on something you really want. It’s difficult to wait , but more difficult to regret.
Solve the problem or leave the problem. But…… Do not live with the problem
Promise is a big word. It either makes something or it breaks everything.
Sometimes in our life we play with time but when we finally realize that we want to get serious… time starts playing with our life…
Most people spend their time trying to find someone to sleep with, instead of finding someone worth waking up to.
I’m the kind of person that no matter how sad I am, I’m still going to make you smile.
You are the reason why I smile, I love, I breath, I live
If someone really loves you, they wouldn’t let you slip away no matter how hard the situation is.

I got 99 problems and the under-representation of alternate sexualities and gender identities in the LGBT+ community are a large percentage of them
I think the “women are mysterious” thing can also come from:
1) Women actually being quite clear, but not telling men what they want to hear. ”She said she doesn’t want to talk to me? So many mixed messages and confusing signals!”
2) Women not having cheat codes. ”I tried being nice, and she didn’t have sex with me. I tried being an asshole, and she didn’t have sex with me. Come on, there’s got to be some kind of solution to this puzzle!”
3) Women not being a hive mind. ”First a woman told me that she likes guys with big muscles. Then the very next day a woman told me she thinks muscles aren’t attractive at all. Make up your mind, women!”
4) An individual woman doing something confusing, and instead of asking “why is she doing this now?” men ask “why do women always do this?”

We all know this person you know, the one who is always in a relationship. They seem to end one and their life is either crumbling down or they are so excited to be single again. Then a month later you are going out with them and they introduce you to their new bae. This person is a relationship monster. Now there might not be anything wrong with this person your best friend might be this person, you might have found yourself being this person at one time in your life. But we still can not help but finding ourselves asking the question “why are they always in a relationship”.
There are many types of relationship monsters. The worst being the one who always finds themselves in terrible relationship to terrible relationship. They seem to after their last relationship ends to date the next person who tells them they look cute in that H&M top. They always seem to dive head first into this relationship and try to sell to you how great a person they found. Then a month or two later things go sour and all you hear while your trying to enjoy a glass of pinot grigio is the last major fight they had over what to watch on Netflix.
You will always find yourself comforting them and hoping for the day this relationship ends in hope they will remain single for awhile and find someone who is not a total douche. you will try to tell them things like “they just are not right for you” or “you can do better”. Then finally when this Hurricane ends and as soon as you let out a sigh of relief your being introduced to the next “the one”.
Now onto the next relationship monster this one is definitely an easier one to deal with. This one is the friend who is always seems to be in a long term relationship. This person dates some one for several months at a time to even years. This is the one where you start preparing yourself to hear that they are getting married. This person seems to have their life more together then the other relationship monster. This person though just can not seem to take the leap. No one seems to be quite good enough for them. They will eventually be out of that relationship with no real prior warning signs. They will just give you a vague answer like “we just didn’t get along” or “we just weren’t right for each other”.
The first few times you will believe them and hope the next one is better. But after awhile this trend will start to become more and more apparent to you. You might even start to question if it is this person, but you’ll convince yourself that this is your friend your friend would never be like that. But it will always be in the back of your head and you will always know it is kind of true.
Now for both these types of relationship monsters. You will hope that one day they will leave their monster like ways behind them and either find the right person or just be single for awhile and find themselves. Unfortunately their is really nothing you can do to end these ways without hurting the friendship. You will just have to wait till they realize it themselves. But we can not hate this person because we do have to admit they do add a level of excitement to our life. You might even find yourself waiting for them to tell you their next big story. You can even find yourself living through them sometimes, because lets be honest living through the relationship monster is definitely better then being the relationship monster. We all have to admit this is all just part of being part of L.O.S.T nation.


How should I ask a guy to be my boyfriend? (I already know he likes me but i just want to make the first move)
If you know for sure he likes you, all you gotta do is ask it and he’ll say yes. But you got to make sure he likes you for sure. Ask it in any way you feel easy and comfortable.
Good luck with it!


i hope you fall in love with someone who makes you question why you ever thought you would be better off alone
I think too much. I think ahead. I think behind. I think sideways. I think it all. If it exists, I’ve fucking thought of it.

stop being so cute if i can’t kiss you


One of the most exciting things about my job is I get to meet new couples all the time and more importantly have the honour of seeing them grow. About two years ago I documented Jackson parents wedding and it was so good to not only catch up with them but see their new family member. Jackson was so well behaved while we shot some photos around Balmoral Beach. The only time he cried was when we had to say our good byes!
Cant wait to shoot more family sessions!


A friend and I were talking just the other day about orgasms. What brings up a subject like that you ask? Well, it was random. He had switched topics to talk about a woman he had met.
“Did you have a good time? Is she pretty? Sexy?” I asked almost too anxiously.
“Oh, yes. We were instantly attracted to each other. I thought she was hot.” He smiled.
“Well, then what?” I was anxious to hear the down and dirty.
“I took her to bed.”
I giggled. “Good for you Hun. You need a good lay.”
“Um, well.” His hesitation surprised me.
“Let me guess. She was a shitty lay.” I chuckled, but he was serious.
“No. She was great, but she didn’t cum.” He looked at me with disappointment.
Now I was perplexed. Not by the fact that this woman didn’t have an orgasm, but why was it so important that she did. So I asked him that.
“I worked hard to get her to cum. She was wet the whole time and she felt so good, but she didn’t cum.”
I thought more about this.
“So is having an orgasm the single most important thing in having great sex?”
“Yes. It tells me that she is satisfied.” He said.
Now I wonder if all men feel this way. Young men I assume don’t care because they just want to get laid. Older men, on the other hand, may be more interested in satisfying their woman.
“How did she feel?” I asked.
“She said it did not bother her. That she felt satisfied with just having sex with me, making me feel good and that it was good for her too.”
“So why wouldn’t that be good enough? She obviously was ok with it and you made her feel good.”
“But she didn’t cum.”
This gave me a lot of thought. So this woman didn’t orgasm. She was totally okay with it, but he wasn’t. I wondered how she truly felt. Was she disappointed in herself? Disappointed that she wasn’t as amazing as his other lovers and she wanted to be his best? Did she feel like a failed lover? How many women feel this way? I asked my husband about woman and orgasm. He agreed with my friend. An orgasm is the most important thing to having great sex. This took me by surprised. But my husband did say that if the woman felt satisfied regardless, than this is okay. It is whatever she wants.
I really want to know. What else makes for great sex. Intimacy? Foreplay of any type? Kissing? I would love to get more ideas from my readers. No holes barred here, I am open and honest and there is nothing embarrassing to me in discussing issues on sex. I would really love to learn more on the emotions of sex. Sure I could look it up on the Internet, but I would rather hear from real people. Your thoughts, ideas, stories, anything. Please let me know and if there is something of a more private issue, shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.org
What does it mean to be a shitty lay? An amazing lover? The difference between ok sex and great sex? Are you disappointed with sex? I need to know. My mind is always in need of information, loaded down as it already is, I can’t stop asking questions.
On a personal note to my friend’s one night stand…..It’s okay Hun. I bet you are an amazing lover! 😉

California Divorce and Domestic Violence
Divorce is the legal process by which a couple can dissolve their marriage. California has unique filing requirements and laws that require the assistance of an experienced family law attorney. This is particularly true in situations where one party has alleged domestic violence.
According to the United States Census Bureau, 209,426 Californians divorced in 2017. This represents a decrease from the 219,719 people who divorced in California in 2016. Yet despite this, California still has one of the highest rates of divorces in the country at 60%, compared to the national average of 50%. While no one wants to consider their marriage failing, if you do find yourself in a situation where your relationship is beyond repair, a top-notch family attorney can protect your interests.
California: A No Fault Divorce State
A divorce can range in complexity depending on a number of factors, such as whether the couple has significant assets or debts or if there are children involved. In most cases, a person going through a divorce will benefit from the advice and advocacy of a skilled Upland family law attorney.
California is a “no fault” divorce state, which means that either spouse can file for divorce without having to prove that the other did something wrong. Instead, most divorces granted on the basis of irreconcilable differences that have led to the breakdown of the marriage.
While California is a pure “no fault” state when it comes to grounds for divorce, misconduct during the marriage can be relevant in determining alimony (spousal support) and in property division. For example, if one spouse committed adultery, and in doing so, wasted marital assets buying gifts for his or her romantic partner, that could be factored into the division of property.
Otherwise, California is a community property state. This means that any income earned and all property bought with those earnings during a marriage is considered marital property. It is owned equally by each spouse, and at divorce, it is divided equally between the spouses.
California Divorce Requirements
To be granted a divorce in California, the following requirements must be met:
- You must assert that you and your spouse have “irreconcilable differences;”
- At least one spouse must be a resident of California for at least the last 6 months;
- At least one spouse must have lived in the county where you plan to file for divorce for at least 3 months before filing.
Either person can file a petition for a divorce, in the county where at least one spouse lives. The earliest date that a termination decree will be entered is 6 months plus 1 day after the divorce petition was filed. This will typically only happen if the couple can come to an agreement about the terms of the divorce. If the couple cannot reach an agreement, a trial may be necessary to determine issues such as division of property, child custody and support and alimony. Other forms of dispute resolution, including mediation and collaborative law, may also be utilized to attempt to achieve settlement without the time and expense of going to trial.
At Madden & Associates, we are experienced at all phases of divorce litigation, from filing an initial divorce petition to mediation and trial. We can assist our clients with each step of the process, including:
- Separating property and debts
- Establishing child and spousal support obligations
- Setting up a custody plan and parenting arrangement
- Obtaining restraining orders in situations involving domestic violence
In many cases, an agreement on issues related to property, custody and support can be reached through formal or informal mediation or collaborative law. If that is not possible, Madden & Associates has the experience necessary to take divorce cases to trial to help you achieve the most favorable outcome.
How Domestic Violence Allegations Impact California Divorces
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, nearly 20 people per minute are abused by an intimate partner in the United States, which equates to more than 10 million women and men each year. Approximately 25% of marriages end due to a claim of domestic violence.
There is no question that domestic violence is a serious problem in our society. It also can play a major role in California divorce cases, whether it is an allegation, arrest or conviction. That is why it is so vital to have an experienced Upland family law attorney to represent you if your divorce involves claims of domestic violence.
Under California law, domestic violence is defined as:
- Intentional, unrestrained physical assault, battery and bodily injury;
- Sexual assault; or
- Any other type of abusive, harassing or intimidating behavior by one partner against the other that would cause a court to issue a protective order to provide for the protection of the abused partner.
Although California is a no-fault divorce state, if one spouse has been convicted of domestic violence within five years of the divorce petition, a court may take that into consideration when determining spousal and child support, child custody and visitation.
If neither partner has been convicted of domestic violence, allegations of domestic violence may still factor into a divorce proceeding. A restraining order is a common way for the partner who is alleging abuse to seek protection from the other partner. It may prevent the other partner from entering the family home, seeing the children without supervision, or coming within a certain number of feet of his or her spouse. It may also require him or her to attend counseling or anger management classes. These restrictions may make obtaining child custody and visitation more challenging.
Because domestic violence allegations are particularly sensitive and can complicate a divorce case, it is critical to have a highly-skilled Upland family law attorney to represent you in these situations. With a background in both family and criminal law, Madden & Associates has the knowledge and experience to advocate for their clients and help protect their rights.

Don’t you wish you could learn the critical ingredients of a happy marriage from other successful married couples? It’s not easy to consider the possibility that you and your partner won’t live happily ever after while you’re caught up in the joy of your wedding day. However, if you don’t have much practice in relations, sharing your life with another person may seem like a huge challenge.
Respect is just as crucial to the health and happiness of marriage as the other two essential ingredients—work, loyalty, and love. Love and care must be worked at to have a successful marriage. Each partner in a couple should provide what they can. The following are daily tips that are the secrets of a successful marriage.
In your opinion, what makes a marriage successful?
Marriage is a relationship between two people, but what makes a happy marriage is subjective. A happy marriage can’t be defined with clarity. On the other hand, below are some commonly accepted descriptions of a happy marriage.
Establishing a moral family:
Marriage, in the eyes of these thinkers, is the joining of two persons into one new family unit. To be a good citizen, they think, one must teach one’s children to follow the rules. To them, a happy marriage means having good children who contribute positively to society.
Convey thoughts clearly:
One top secret of a successful marriage is what makes a marriage work is that it all comes down to good communication and mutual respect. They think the key to a happy marriage is open communication and never keeping anything from one another
Live like friends:
There may be nothing simpler than this if you want a successful marriage. This is often used as an example of a happy marriage. Some people think being best friends is essential to a happy marriage.
Having love and understanding for one another no matter what:
Commitment, respect, and sacrifice are often used as criteria for a happy marriage. According to some, a secret of a successful marriage requires nothing more than mutual respect and devotion. Recognize the fallibility of your relationship and learn to love them nevertheless.
Being purposeful is the top secret of successful marriage for a beautiful relationship. A healthy connection with your significant other requires time and effort, but it may be significantly facilitated by being thoughtful in your choice of words, actions, and time together.
Instead of shouting “goodbye” from the depths of your home every morning as your partner departs for work, consider making it a habit to meet them at the door and send them off with a smile, a cuddle, and well wishes for the day. Please share your views by randomly sending them texts or emails throughout the day. Smiling at each other at the end of the day is only the beginning of showing your love and appreciation for each other.
Express to your partner how much you appreciate having them in your life:
Put things in perspective and value your time, energy, and commitment to one another, as well as your family and shared life. Don’t forget to thank your partner when they make meals, assist with the kids’ homework, or do groceries. Taking time each night to share an appreciation for each other might benefit a happy marriage. This tip is helpful and a secret to successful marriage life.
Spend Quality Time with Each other:
Alone time is equally as vital as time spent with a partner. Time spent alone is essential for everyone and a secret of a successful marriage. As it allows them to relax, reflect, and explore preferences. Once you are married, especially if you have children, you may find that you no longer have that much free time.
Hang out with pals, enroll in a course, or do some volunteer work; make sure it’s something that will enhance you. You’ll become closer and more loving once you’re back together again.

1Now, concerning the things which you wrote to me. It is proper for a husband not to have intimacy with his wife at times. 2Nevertheless, because of the danger of sexual temptation, let every man hold to his own wife, and let every woman hold to her own husband. 3Let the husband give to his wife the love which he owes her; and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4The wife has no authority over her own body, but her husband; and likewise also the husband has no authority over his own body, but his wife. 5Therefore, do not deprive one another except when both of you consent to do so, especially at the time when you devote yourselves to fasting and prayer; and then come together again, so that HaSatan may not tempt you because of your physical passion. 6But I say this only to weak persons, for it is not part of the Torah. 7For I would that all men were like myself in purity. But every man has his proper gift from Elohim, one after this manner, and another after that. 8I say this to those who have no wives, and to widows: it is better for them to be as I am; 9but if they cannot endure it, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10But those who have wives, I command (yet not I but Adonai), let not the wife be separated from her husband; 11but if she separates, let her remain single, or be reconciled to her husband; and let not the husband forsake his wife. 12But to the rest, I say this, not Adonai: if any brother has a wife who does not trust, and she wishes to live with him, let him not forsake her. 13And the woman who has a husband who does not trust, but is content to live with her, let her not forsake him. 14For the husband who does not trust is consecrated through the wife who trusts, and the wife who does not trust is consecrated through the husband who trusts; otherwise, their children would be impure, but in such cases they are pure. 15But if the one who does not trust wishes to separate, let him separate. In such cases, a man or woman who trusts is free; for Elohim has called us to live in shalom. 16For how do you know, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you shall save your wife?
17But every man, according as יהוה has distributed to him, and every man, as Elohim has called him, so let him walk. And this I command also for all the congregations. 18If a man was circumcised when he was called, let him not return to uncircumcision. And if he was uncircumcised when he was called, let him not be circumcised. 19For circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the Mitzvot of יהוה is everything. 20Let every man remain in the station of life in which he is called. 21If you were a servant when you were called, do not feel concerned about it; but even though you can be made free, choose rather to serve. 22For he who is called by Adoneinu, being a servant, is Elohim’s free man; likewise he who is called, being a free man is also the servant of Mashi’akh. 23You have been bought with a price; you must not therefore become servants of men. 24My brethren, let every man in whatever station of life he was called, remain therein, serving Elohim.
25Now concerning virginity, I have no command from Elohim; yet I give my advice as one who has been favored by Elohim to be trustworthy. 26And I suppose that this is good for the present necessity, therefore I say, it is better for a man to remain as he is. 27Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28But if you take a wife, you do not sin; and if a virgin marries, she does not sin. Nevertheless, such shall have trouble in the flesh; but I would spare you. 29But this I do say, my brethren: the time is short; let those who have wives be as though they had none; 30and those who weep, as though they had not wept; and those who rejoice, as though they had not rejoiced; and those who buy, as though they did not possess anything; 31and those who make use of this world should not abuse it, for the fashion of this world is passing away. 32Therefore, I would that you were free from worldly cares. For he who is unmarried is concerned in the things of his Adon, so as to please his Adon. 33And he who is married is concerned with worldly things, in order to please his wife. 34So there is a difference between a married woman and a virgin. She who is unmarried is concerned about the welfare of her Adon, and to be pure both in body and spirit; but she who is married is concerned with worldly things, in order to please her husband. 35I am saying this for your own benefit; I am not trying to snare or put a yoke on you, but I exhort you to be perfect before יהוה , and faithful, without distraction.
36If any man thinks that he is shamed by the behavior of his virgin daughter because she has passed the marriage age and he has not given her in marriage, and that he should give her, let him do what he will, and he does not sin. Let her be married. 37If he has sincerely decided and is not forced by circumstances, but has determined and decreed in his heart to keep his virgin daughter single, he does well. 38So then he who gives his virgin daughter in marriage does well; and he who does not give his virgin daughter in marriage does even better.
39A wife is bound by the Torah as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is free to marry whom she pleases, but only in Adoneinu. 40But, in my opinion, she is happier to remain as she is. And I think also Ru’akh HaElohim is in me.

I read an article the other day that spoke about a woman who was married discovering new ways to appreciate her husband, her relationship, and their growth. One of the things she mentioned was respecting her husband. She thought she respected him, but he wanted to be respected in ways that she currently was not. Understanding the ways he wanted to be respected, instead of just basing it on how she perceived her to be respecting him, helped their marriage and relationship become better, and them to become closer. I really took to this statement. It made me worried I wasn’t respecting my S/O in ways that made him feel respected. I reached out to him immediately to ask how he felt others respected him and to make sure he felt respected by me. He told me he did, thankfully, and I concluded that discussion by telling him if there was anything he wanted me to do that would make him happy, to just let me know.
Everything seemed good. My worry about him not feeling respected got cleared up, and I let him know that he can reach out to me if he wants me to do something for him to make him happy. But a couple days later, I found out information that made me feel like I wasn’t being respected. When I first read the article I never even stopped to think, does he respect me in the ways that I want to be respected? And after finding out this information, my answer is sadly, not a complete yes.
I want to be respected by him showing to the world that I am his, and he is mine. We became long distance in February, and things have gotten rocky. We had a fight about a month ago, and we didn’t speak for about 3-4 days. In this time, he changed his profile photo to no longer have me in it, and made his relationship status go from public (ie. showing on the main page of his profile) to friends only (ie. you only see it if you click on the “about” section of his profile). We have since made up, and everything is better, we’re back to saying I love you, back to Skyping/calling as often as we can. However, he still hasn’t put his relationship status back to public.
I wouldn’t have such an issue with this, if he hadn’t specifically done it while we weren’t talking. It felt like an attack on me, like it was a not-so-subtle way of saying “I’m reconsidering this relationship and I’m trying to make it easier on myself by slowly making it seem like I’m single to see how it feels”. I’ve brought up how much it bothers me multiple times, and he both ignores me when I do and waits hours or even until the next day to change the subject, while also not changing it back.
Now, on top of this, he goes around on Facebook groups telling girls to “slide into his dm’s” with an “ass pic”. Instead, when someone mentions a new girl getting added to the same group, he says “is she single? asking for a friend”. Saying those things to girls he doesn’t know are upsetting enough. But to know that when they then click on his profile, it doesn’t state anywhere that he is in a relationship? Makes me feel sick. But once again, if I bring this up, I typically get 3 eye roll emoji’s sent to me. Which really, just further upsets me, so I’m not sure what his game plan is there. But if I push that topic any further, what have I gotten? Ignored.
I don’t understand why it’s so hard for him, or maybe even people in general, to just respect how a person feels. This is the man I’ve been with for nearly a year and a half, the man who says he wants to spend his life with me, the man who says he loves me. But yet, he can’t for some reason be bothered to put his relationship status back to public now that we’re better? All it does is make me feel as if he is still having doubts about us, as if he is still wanting to end things. Which then just perpetuates more negative feelings about everything and makes me unable to see when he’s just “joking around”.
At this point I just want to be respected enough for him to respond to me stating how I feel, with some sort of – not rebuttal, but at least a conversation as to why he won’t, or why he doesn’t want to. I feel like I should at least be owed that much.
Maybe I’m asking for too much. Maybe my idea of being respected is too “out there” and too “over the top” and I’m being “unrealistic”. Or maybe it’s just…….


People, give me your suggestions for the sappiest, most romantic love songs you can think of.
I’m making a playlist on Grooveshark and seriously want to be somewhere on the emotional scale between crying my eyes out, ripping Patrick’s clothes off because I’m so full of romantic feelings and ripping his head off because we’re not married and living a beautiful romantic fantasy.
So far here is what I’ve got:
The Way I Am-Ingrid Michaelson
Love You Like a Love Song- Selena Gomez (not the best or sappiest, but I’m also seeking fun beats I can get into and sing along with easily)
I Just Called to Say I Love You-Stevie Wonder
You and I- Ingrid Michaelson
Glory of Love-Peter Cetera
Isn’t She Lovely- Stevie Wonder (not a typical love song since it’s about his daughter’s birth but enough people have tried to turn it into one so on the list it goes)
So nobody on here cares I’m sure, but this is one of those things that is almost totally guaranteed to assist in wooing me.
No sooner do I hear the beginning when my heart begins to pitter-pat. By the time the first few lyrics are sung I’m pretty sure my heart is a melted blob of goo in my chest.
This is one of those songs that lets me know that that romantic part of me hasn’t died out, that there is hope for me despite how jaded and scarred I am.
I’ve never had a guy sing this at me or perform it for me (I know a lot of singers so even if they’re not trying to woo me, I have had them play a song at my request) but often I think how most guys that really wants to impress me needs to just sing this for me, I would be putty in his hands (I say most as if I’ve already written a guy off this probably will only help to make me second guess myself, so long as he’s halfway decent a singer) .
It doesn’t help brains and talent are two of the things I find most attractive. Especially musical talent. If I like a guy and he has a good voice, ugh.
But yeah, nobody cares… but I’ve listened to this almost non-stop in my car recently and it keeps making me feel romantic and sappy and it needs to stop.


John speaks to AOIFE MCGRATH from Amen Services about the Annual Report and International Men’s Day.
She talks about the services that Amen Services provide for men who suffer from domestic abuse, the families that would be contacting them over their concerns, the reaction they got from their last campaign, the amount of services they provide outside of the confidential helpline and the reasons why men would be reluctant to admit their domestic abuse.
She also talks about cyber abuse suffered by men and the ratio of men that would report their abuse to the Gardai compared to women.

This breakup quiz is a relationship quiz. It is designed to help the quiz taker decide weather to stay in a relationship or not.


Even though you may feel like you’re a “grown-up,” during your teen years you’re still new to the wild world of relationships. As if romance wasn’t challenging enough on its own to deal with, having little experience with dating and love can make relationship problems seem like obstacles that you can’t overcome.
This is the one relationship dilemma which is extremely hard on you but not difficult to conquer. I know its easy to say than to implement. But remember
Healthy Relationships = Respect & Trust
If you do not find this in your relationship, it’s an alarming situation.
Abuse is not only physical but it could be emotional or sexual as well.
It is difficult to recognize emotional abuse because sometimes people mistake intense jealousy and possessiveness as a sign of intense feelings of love. It may even seem flattering at first. Intimidation, controlling behaviour and betrayal are all harmful forms of emotional abuse that can really hurt — not just during the time it’s happening, but long after too. If your partner tries to control you or makes you feel insignificant, it’s obvious they’re not the one for you.
If you feel that you’re in an abusive relationship, alert your parents, trusted adult, health provider, friend or anyone whom you can share.
Don’t break up with the abuser when you’re completely alone together.
Surround yourself with family and friends as you ready yourself to leave the relationship.
Keep in mind that the abuser is the one with the problem; the abuse has nothing to do with you. Never blame yourself for the abuse
It is recommended to swiftly leave an abusive relationship.

You have met the dream man in your life, and you are happy over it. Finding your dream person and than getting into relation with him too is just like a great treasure for women. This means you have found a profound happiness of your life. You have found the one person completes your life. You are talking to him all the time, spending all time with him, yet you find that you are not having enough.
You people share so many common habits and interests. Yet after a point of time you find yourself being dejected by him. You find that he is no more same. He is not giving you same amount of time, not returning your texts and trying to remain away. This is a terrifying situation that comes into relation for every woman. Have you ever tried to find out what makes this happen?
I can bet each and every woman has faced this situation in her life at least once and for some this is something that happens every time. They actually need to figure out that what is such in them that take man away from them after sometime. Why do not man wants to stay in long term relationship with them?
Here I am writing about the top three mistakes made by any woman who looses her love. Figure out what you had been doing yet that was reason of your failure to win your dream man.
Overly Changing You Accordingly:
Is it something like you are changing yourself completely for him? That means you are adopting habits or things that are being liked by him just because you want to be liked by him. You are doing whatever he does even though you yourself do not like it? You are trying to show that you are eager to adopt everything that is part of his life and he knows it that you do not like it actually.
Or it may be like you are always trying to make him comment over you. You are constantly pressurizing him to say and express about how he feels for you? This is done only to know that if you are important for him or not.
This is a killing habit- stop it. You are giving him just an impression of being insecure. Yes this is giving an impact of unsecured woman, who always needs a surety into her life. Even if a man really loves you he would want you to feel yourself important even without him so he would move away from you.
You are strongly hurt by whatever he just did- yet you cover up your expressions and start acting like if nothing happened. This means you have taken a step towards separation of you two. If you behaved so he will continue doing this and eventually would feel that you have no standards for yourself and would treat you the same way you treat yourself, that is just like a useless thing.
Blind Trust in Your Man:
You immediately shown your blind trust over him and explained each and every intimate details of your life to him and that’s when even he does not ask you to. This is going to make him feel that you are not reliable enough as you would be doing the same with every man, would have blindly believed him.
Do not show this to him. Don’t discuss about any intimate details of your life until and unless you get into a long term relationship and he himself shows interest in knowing about you and your life. If you told everything before time you will be on loosing end. And the loss will be unbearable that is loosing your dream man.
Find these reasons out in your life and try to avoid them in future so that next time you do not face this great loss in your life.
Happy time in long term relation with your man.


Here at Bonallack and Bishop in Salisbury, we are really pleased to have two fully accredited and jointly qualified family mediators/lawyers and we firmly believe that family mediation is going to play an increasingly important role in helping resolve the legal problems surrounding family breakdown and divorce.
What can family mediation do?
• Family mediation can encourage fair and rational discussion at a time when you might not be feeling very fair minded or inclined to speak to their ex-partner.
• Mediation can help reduce the emotional trauma connected with relationship breakdown or divorce by helping you both away from a confrontational and winner takes all approach.
• Family mediation can allow you both the time and opportunity you need to ensure that you both have all the input they require into the final memorandum of understanding. Time and input are often two things that divorcing couples in particular can feel they are being denied at court. Using a family mediator is also usually much faster and often cheaper way of reaching a settlement than going through the court.
• The mediation will be tailored exactly to the your joint requirements – and can cover all aspects of a divorce or be focused on a specific issue
• The roles of mediator and legal professional is, we believe best combined in a jointly qualified ‘lawyer mediator’. In particular, if as part of the mediation process you also each instruct a family lawyer of your own, a jointly qualified lawyer mediator can speed up the process considerably by avoid the need for frequent, time consuming and expensive advice from your own lawyer – although in the circumstances your mediator will only able to offer mutually informative, impartial advice on the law to you both as part of mediation.
• Family mediation can save the divorce or other relationship breakdown on taking too higher emotional toll on any children involved – as they will see their parents to operating and behaving reasonably towards each other.
• Mediation can help you to achieve a final settlement that is seen to be fair as it results from co-operation and shared goals rather than adversarial conflict.
How does all this help me?
• Mediation, when compared with court proceedings, really does find solutions to family problems more quickly and with less expense – and that’s according to the National Audit Office “Value for Money Report”
• Mediation can leave your post-divorce relationship with your ex-partner on a much more positive footing by allowing you to have avoided the rancour that can be the poisonous legacy of a bitterly fought contest in court.
• The outcome of the mediation will be fair and practical and will leave no ticking time bombs for the future.
Come on, there must be negatives?
• Most importantly, it doesn’t suit everyone – both if you must be willing to cooperate and focus on finding agreed solutions rather than scoring emotional points or fighting a battle you feel you must win
• The absence of each party’s legal advisor at the family mediation sessions can sometimes slow things down if one of you needs legal advice from your own family lawyer outside of the sessions.
• There is the risk that the less dominant party may feel uncomfortable in standing up for themselves in front of the ex-partner – and therefore feel they have not had their interests as fully considered as they would have with their own lawyer there to speak up for them – so, for example, it rarely works in families with a history of domestic violence
In what circumstances could family mediation work for me?
Family mediation could well be right for you if:
• Your relationship is breaking down and you are considering separating or divorcing
• You have post separation/divorce issues that need resolving
• You are considering or going through a civil partnership dissolution
• There are issues over contact or residence arrangement for children to be resolved
• You are a grandparent who wants contact with your grandchildren
• Mediation is required in your unmarried relationship
• Both you and your partner agree to try it.
