This study explores and compares relationship men’s condom use or non-use and health risks in heterosexual intercourse in urban Bangladesh. For this 80 men (20 for single, 35 for marital and 25 for extramarital sexual intercourse) were purposefully selected from Rajshahi city, Bangladesh and intensively studied, using semi-structural questionnaire, in-depth interview method and case study technique. The study found that extramarital men were more likely to engage in commercial sex without condom than marital and premarital men. The findings also suggested that extramarital men who would not use condom were more likely to suffer from sexually transmitted infections or diseases (e.g., Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis) than the marital men and premarital love-makers in the sexual intercourse. The study argue that extramarital men characterized by casual or commercial sex, illiteracy and lack of cognitive consciousness and more negative attitudes toward condom use were more likely affected by sexually transmitted infections or diseases than the marital and extramarital men with monogamous partner, more or less condom use, consciousness and positive attitude toward condom use. These findings may have implications in health policy and services to improve men’s sexual health in urban Bangladesh.

Safer sex and consistent condom use during heterosexual intercourse that preserve reproductive and sexual health for both women and men is a challenging issue across societies, including Bangladesh (Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, 2005). Previous scientific literature has shown that men’s condom use during heterosexual intercourse is 70%-95% effective to prevent unwanted pregnancy and sexual health risks, including STIs, STDs, HIV/AIDS7,24,38,58. Despite this knowledge and wide experience, recent empirical studies have shown that unwanted pregnancy, sexual health risks and its related health cost are increasing in association with the high rates (70% to 90%) of non-condom-use in marital and non-marital heterosexual relations across the societies, including Bangladesh11,13,15,17,40,46,47.
Over past several decades previous quantitative and cross-sectional researches in Bangladesh have paid much attention on sociodemographic distribution of low prevalence rates (4% -8%) of men’s condom use in marital or non-marital heterosexual relations34,35,44,57. The findings of the previous studies reveal that the low prevalence rates of men’s condom use during the heterosexual intercourses are linked to socio-demographic characteristics, including age, sex, social class, ethnicity, residence, religion and region. Bangladesh demographic and health survey (2004) has found that low condom use rate of ever married women (5.9 %) and men (4.2%) aged 15-49 years is associated with greater reproductive health risks (unwanted pregnancy) among adolescent girls, independent of socio-demographic characteristics19. Several studies on premarital20,27 and extramarital sexual activities6,33 have also shown that relations of inconsistent condom use or even non-condom use to higher sexual health risks (e.g., STIs, STDs) in lower socioeconomic groups (e.g., rickshaw puller, truck driver, launch workers, dock workers, out-migrants) than the men with higher socioeconomic status (e.g., student, Banker, and Businessman) in urban areas. Other studies have found that sex with only a marital partner (between monogamous husband and wife) or premarital love-partner is safer than sex with casual or multiple commercial partners who may bear STIs, STDs and even HIV/AIDS22,32. In this sense frequent extramarital sex (with commercial sex workers) is riskier than the marital sex and premarital sex (only between two intimate love-makers or dating partners). The findings of the studies have shown that the men who engage in frequent risky sexual intercourse without condom or inconsistent condom use have greater reproductive health risks among married or unmarried women (e.g., unwanted pregnancy and its negative health consequences) and sexual health risks for both men and women (e.g., STIs, STDs, HIV/AIDS) than the men who engage in sex with consistent condom use.
Previous quantitative and cross-sectional studies reviewed have contributed to the relationships of socio-demographic status with condom use or non-use in either marital or non-marital heterosexual sexual intercourse, but a few of the studies have critically addressed and compared men’s condom use or non-use and its related sexual health risks across the premarital, marital, and extramarital men in urban country11,23. To fill in the knowledge gap this study has conducted to explore and compare men’s condom use or non-use and sexual health risks in premarital, marital, and extramarital sexual intercourse in Rajshahi city of Bangladesh, using qualitative comparative case study approach and in-depth interview. The findings of the study may have practical implications to design new health policy and practices to increase men’s condom use in premarital, marital and extramarital heterosexual intercourse with a view to protect men’s health from sexually transmitted health risks in Bangladesh.
2. Theoretical Framework
According to hedonistic approach or pleasure principles men want to avoid pains and get pleasures from heterosexual intercourse. Exchange theory also suggests that men want to get maximum pleasure with minimum costs25. Based on the broader theoretical frameworks there are several alternative reasons or arguments of men’s condom use or non-use and sexual health risks in heterosexual intercourse. Khan Hudson-Rodd, Saggers, Bhuiyan & Bhuiya argue that bad smell, problems of storage, disposal/purchase, size of condom, especially reduced pleasure are the sole reasons for refusal to use condom or discontinue its use in heterosexual intercourse. They indicate that non-use of condoms for understanding of their bodily (genital) pleasure of sex acts is closely associated with sexual health risks23,24.
The underlying assumptions of mass media and masculinity theory also suggests that men learn through pornographic films and long duration of masculine socialization that prolong intercourse and its outcome (ejaculation) without using condoms is real men’s sexual skills. The prolonged intercourse and late ejaculation increase men’s bodily images, sexual satisfaction and builds happily marital and family life. Based on the assumption several studies have found that men do not use condom or discontinue it, because using condom and its size during heterosexual intercourse impedes real feelings or pleasures in sex act and it also affects early ejaculation23,24. They also have found that non-use of condom to get sexual pleasure is linked to health risks.
Social construction theory assumes that gender sexuality, condom use or non-use and its health risks depend on gender power relation, age, socio-economic status and ethnicity5,10,12. The unequal power relation that favors a man than a woman in heterosexual interaction men’s sexual pleasure supersedes women’s, and men than women have greater control over when, where and how sex takes place for sensational pleasure without using condom. This imbalanced gender power relation expands more men’s sexual freedom and pleasure than women’s without using condom, thereby increasing genders’ reproductive, sexual and health risks/vulnerabilities to the epidemic14,15,22-24.
The principle of cognitive model asserts that men’s (also women’s) decisions related to condom use or non-use and health risks in sexual activities fully depend on their cognitive factors (e.g., perception, memory, knowledge, strategies, inferences and experience acquired from their cultural belief and social relations. Yoskowitz, Gutnik, O’Sullivan, Kaufman & Patel (2005) assume that men’s decision regarding condom use or non-use depends on their beliefs and perceptions and in turn shapes their beliefs and perceptions. They argue that when individuals think their partners are safe, they do not use condom, but when they perceive some risks, because their partners are promiscuous they use condom15,37,38. Based on the theoretical reasons some sociodemographic studies have found that men with low socio-economic status, cognition, consciousness and experiences compared to men with medium/high socio-economic status, cognition, consciousness and knowledge are the most likely to engage in unprotected sex have greater sexual health risks in their life1-13. Following these reasons behind theories and its related studies reviewed, especially pleasure principles and cognitive theory, the first assumption of this study is that extramarital and marital men with low socio-economic status, cognition, consciousness and experiences compared to premarital men with medium/high socio-economic status, cognition, consciousness and knowledge are the most likely to engage in sexual intercourse (extramarital men’s sex with commercial women and marital men with their wives) without condom use to have sexual pleasure. To do so, extramarital men (whose partners are commercial sex workers) compared to marital and premarital men (whose partners are monogamous) are at greater sexual health risks in urban Bangladesh6,11,15,17,20.

3. Data and Method
This study used qualitative comparative case study method (from selection of study setting, sample, method of data collection to data analysis) to explore and compare sexual health risks associated with men’s condom use or non-use in premarital, marital, and extramarital sexual intercourse in Rajshahi Metropolitan city, Bangladesh48-50,54. Rajshahi Metropolitan city with more than 5 million people is one of the largest, modernized, mobile, educational cities (e.g., Dhaka, Chittagang, Narayangang, Shylhet, Khulna) in Bangladesh wherein premarital, marital, and extramarital heterosexual activities without condom use and its related health risks are increasing day-by-day due to expand urbanization and its related opportunities. In spite of it there is no single study on the sensitive issue to explore and compare men’s condom use or non-use in premarital, marital, and extramarital sexual intercourse and its related health risks in the city.
This study used purposive sampling strategy to select necessary samples, because the universe of the sensitive issue studied was not well-documented. Based on snowball process 70 premarital love-makers or dating partners, 50 marital couples, and 45 extramarital men who had sexual intercourse with their respective female partners were identified and then 20 men for premarital, 35 men for marital and 25 men for extramarital sexual activities were purposively selected, because they were sincerely agreed and consent to participate in the study process. The selected premarital men with ages 20-25 years, unmarried and having had sexual intercourse with their dating female partners were the students (came from rural villages to study at college and university level, Rajshahi city. The marital men aged 20-30 years who were the permanent residents at the city, rickshaw puller and recently married but had no issue. Most of the marital and extramarital men were illiterate. The extramarital men aged 25-40 years who were also married, illiterate and rickshaw puller come from different villages to this city aimed at earning and had had sex with the female sex workers in absence of their wives. For in-depth analysis of men’s condom use or non-use during heterosexual intercourse that might affect their sexual health risks some men (n= (2x2)4 for premarital, n= (2x2)4 for marital and n= (2x2)4 for extramarital) were selected.
Renowned social scientist McAnulty & Burnette and others have defined the term "sexual intercourse" as penile-vaginal coitus between a man and a woman to have sexual pleasure, to make love with each other, and to have a child (p.8)29. Premarital sexual intercourse refers to the penile-vaginal coitus between a young male and a young female (also adolescents) who are unmarried and recognized each other as lovers or dating partners. When penile-vaginal coitus occurred between husband and wife is called marital sexual intercourse. When penile-vaginal coitus occurred between a married man and a woman (also a commercial sex female worker) and the vice versa is called extramarital sexual intercourse. Men's condom use or non-use during the heterosexual premarital, marital and extramarital intercourse refers to the presence or absence of reversible means or devices occurred in biological, psychological and broader socio-cultural context.
In order to explore and compare men’s condom use or non-use in premarital, marital and extramarital sexuality and sexual health risks in Rajshahi city of Bangladesh this study used several key concepts: age, education, occupation, duration of relation, sexual frequency and men’s condom use or non-use in sexual intercourse. Men’s sexual behavior pattern was classified into three groups and measured as: 1= Premarital sexuality, 2= marital sexuality and 3= extramarital sexuality. Duration of relation for sexual intercourse and its pleasure was numerically measured and accounted for as years of relations between male and female partners in premarital, marital and extramarital sexuality studied. Frequency of sexual intercourse was numerically measured and accounted for as numbers of intercourse in last month. Condom use or un-use was categorically measured and accounted for as 1= regularly, 2= sometimes and 2= none. Sexual health risks refer to the germs or poisons that transmit from one person to another without using condom. These germs or poisons may affect both men and women reproductive and sexual health33.
Instrument and Procedure
Based on research purpose this study was conducted at Rajshahi metropolitan city from July to December in 2009. In so doing, we used semi-structural questionnaire with in-depth interview technique to study men’s sexual health risks associated with condom use or non-use in the sexual behavior patterns in the city. Participation of the respondents in the study was voluntary with no direct benefits. The selected cases were guaranteed confidentiality and anonymity. Informed consent also was obtained from the selected cases before data collection, with confidentiality and anonymous assurance48,55. We collected data on the research purpose in two phases. In the first phase of data collection from July to August 2009 we built up rapport with our respondents selected. In rapport-building interview with semi-structural (open-ended) questionnaire was used to collect background information, such as age, residence, education, occupation, identity of marital, premarital and extramarital partners, duration of sexual relation, sexual frequency and condom use or non-use during sexual intercourse in the Rajshahi city48. In the second phase of data collection in-depth interview was conducted with the selected cases to collect data on the reasons of condom use or non-use and its related sexual health effects6,22-24. In so doing we intimately discussed on the crucial research themes with our respondents and written technique was used to collect and record data given by our respondents. Each in-depth interview was conducted in personal and private setting lasted for 1 and half hours. After completion interview we gave special thanks to every male respondent.
Exploring reasons for men’s condom use or non-use in their heterosexual intercourse are socio-culturally sensitive issues in conservative cultures, like Bangladesh. In order to select the respondents (e.g. premarital, marital and extramarital men and conduct in-depth interview with semi-structural questionnaire from them this study maintained some ethical considerations, including confidentiality, informed consent, privacy, mutual benefit and reciprocity. First of all informed consent to conduct the study was collected from the respondents the respondents were assured that personal identity and relevant data collected with written questionnaire and in-depth interview and case study analysis from them would be safe, private and confidential55.
Analysis of Data
We analyzed the data on the research issue based on qualitative approach. In so doing the information our respondents provided were post-coded. Data by post-coded was presented in tabular form (see table 1-3). In addition, we also analyzed qualitative data on the sexual frequency and men’s condom use in every sexual intercourse with case illustration. This case illustration provided real pictures of the research themes studied. The findings and publication of the research would never be harmful for them.
Type of Partner and Sexual Frequency
Sex is one of the basic human needs that eligible people meet in hetero-sexual relations: premarital, marital and extramarital relationships. The first objective of the research was to explore and compare duration of relationship and sexual frequency among the premarital, marital and extramarital men in Rajshahi city of Bangladesh. Table 1 shows that average duration of relationships of the selected men were 5.5 years for premarital (love-mates), 2.14 years for marital and 1.48 years for extramarital men interviewed with semi structural questionnaire. In such duration of relationship average sexual frequency was higher among the marital men than the premarital or extramarital ones with their female partners.
Regarding this our respondents said:
One marital man age 25 years says I believe in marital sex. I frequently consume sex at night.
One premarital man (student) age 20 years says I believe in love relation, I sometimes enjoy…….
Extramarital respondents inform that we are married, but our wives are out of this town. As we are habituated sex, we cannot sex with our wives. When we feel sex, we go to the prostitutes and I sometimes consume sex in exchange of money.
Condom Use or Non-Use
Another objective of the study was to explore differences in men’s condom use or non-use in sexual behavior patterns in the study area of Bangladesh. Data in the table reveal that regular condom use in relation to sexual frequency was higher among premarital men (60%) compared to marital (25.75%) and extramarital men (20%). But sometimes condom users were higher among marital men (45.71%) than the extramarital and premarital men. In addition, non-condom-users were higher among marital men (57.14%) than the premarital (10%) and extramarital men (52%). Regarding this our respondents said:
Marital men sometimes use condom at hand, we have no fear to conception and any transmitted diseases, because our wives are more or less free from any transmitted diseases.
Premarital men say that although our female partners are beautiful, healthy and free from any transmitted diseases, we become fear if our female partners become pregnant. To avoid pregnancy we always use condom.
Premarital men say……..premarital sex is not permitted in our Muslim culture, our female partner cannot use any condom or birth control methods, such as pill. Other inform…..sex is emotional acts emotion never obey….
Extramarital men say….. we are not habituated to use condom in intercourse with our wives, so we sometimes use condom. Some extramarital men say…. We never feel sexual pleasure using condom…. Other informs I always cannot bear condom when I go to the prostitute.
Condom Use/Non-use and Sexual Health Risks
Although condom is a popular method and is easy to use in sexual intercourse, many of the men did not use condom in intercourse with their partners. As a result they were affected by STDS and HIV positive. Present study using in-depth interview found that the premarital or extramarital partners who did not use condom in sexual intercourse easily affected by sexual diseases. For example, extramarital men informed us we would almost suffer from some health problems, such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis. An extramarital man informed us….
I am suffering from Gonorrhea detected by doctors for six months, because I would never use condom in commercial sex act to have sexual pleasure.
For the marital and premarital men who sometimes or never used condom, many times of their female partners became pregnant. In order to solve this problem they made MR to go to the doctors in the city. As a result their female partners would suffer from reproductive health problems (Caldwell & Pieris 1999; ICDDR, B 2008; Melhado 2007). A premarital man said…..
In dating I would always excite…. Then I would engage in sex…..without condom and my female partner became pregnant.
Based on evidence including our findings we may conclude that premarital, marital and extramarital sexuality more or less exists in every society or culture. In order to fulfil sexual need eligible people in Bangladesh engage in intercourse and use condom all these patterns of sexuality. Findings of this study suggested that premarital men compared to marital and extramarital ones would almost regularly use condom in intercourse with their female partners, because they were more conscious to pregnancy and STDs. As a result, extramarital men would suffer from STDs than the other men in the Rajshahi city of Bangladesh.
Based on normative and ethical theory some researchers argued that sexual frequency in the sexuality patterns depends on the normative development of sexual relationship and ethical and legal legitimacy in sexuality patterns. As premarital and extramarital sexuality are not ethically and legally recognized in this culture, especially among the Muslims, premarital and extramarital men cannot involve in frequent sexual intercourse with their female partners like marital men’s. Therefore, their sexual frequency was lower than that the marital men1-21. Based on theory of motive and cognition researchers explained that condom use or non-use in sexuality patterns fully depends on men’s purpose of sexuality, motivation to it and consciousness about its bad or negative effects.
Although purpose of all men in sexual involvement were the same, to meet sexual need and satisfaction, motive of condom use of the men were completely different22-37. Purpose of condom use of the marital men was to prevent immediate or unwanted birth, but purpose of the premarital and extramarital men’s condom use was to protect illegitimate birth and sexually transmitted diseases. Another argument of the cognition theory was premarital sexual men were socio-culturally and cognitively conscious about condom non-use, such as illegitimate birth, most of them used condom regularly or irregularly than the marital or extramarital men. These findings of the study may be implied in further research investigation, orientation to health policy and services to improve men’s sexual health37-47,52,59.

Valentine’s Day centers around the celebration of love, and that makes it a perfect holiday for those who follow Christ. Why? Because Jesus said the number-one thing we should do is love God and love others as ourselves. In order to experience whole living – body, mind, and spirit – here are some ways you can love God, serve others, and treat yourself this Valentine’s Day.
Whether you are married, dating, or single, your first love should be the God who created you. Examine your relationship with God. Has it grown stale? Does worshipping, reading the Bible, and praying feel like things you have to cross off your list? Or are you falling in love with Jesus again and again as you spend time with him? Take time on Valentine’s Day to renew your connection with God. Admire the beauty of his creation, marvel at his handiwork in the cuteness of your kids, thank him for the love he has surrounded you with, or appreciate anew the ways he works in your life. Remind yourself of all the ways God loves you and knows you intimately.
Here are a few of the ways God says you are precious to him:
Valentine’s Day gives you the chance to demonstrate love in tangible ways to those around you. Pay attention to your spouse’s love language and the love languages of your kids. Try to do something special in each one’s love language on Valentine’s Day. Does your husband love acts of service? Wash the car or clean the house as a surprise. Does your teen daughter love gifts? Surprise her with a mini-shopping spree. When we love others in their love language, it helps them deeply feel our love.
Pastor Rod Hairston, former chaplain of the Baltimore Ravens and author of Cover Him: Caring for the Needs, Thoughts, and Feelings of the Man You Love, suggests wives take a little extra time this year to show their husband they care. “Maybe your man isn’t a super-romantic. Maybe he doesn’t share his thoughts, needs, and feelings nearly as much as you’d like him to,” Hairston says. “But in other areas of his life he’s doing the very best he can. He’s endeavoring to follow God, loving you, and fighting for what matters. If you’ve landed such a prize of a man, then Valentine’s Day is a great day to celebrate that guy! Get him that special thing he’s been denying himself. Or make him that special meal he likes. Do it just to let him know that on Valentine’s Day … you celebrate him.”
Whether you are married or single, do a little self-examination on Valentine’s Day too. Are you loving yourself well? Do you take care of yourself, speak kindly to yourself, and admire how beautifully and wonderfully made you are? Put a little love in your own heart on Valentine’s Day by treating yourself to some self-care. Get your nails done. Take a hot bath. Call a friend you have not spoken to in a long time. Splurge on your favorite coffee or dessert. Put your work down and take a nap or read a good book. Look in the mirror and say five encouraging phrases to your reflection, such as “I am a child of the king,” “My face is lovely and my voice is sweet,” and “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
Loving others is also part of the call on our lives. Surprise a neighbor, a teacher, a friend, or even a complete stranger with an act of kindness on Valentine’s Day. Serving others honors God and helps us feel good about ourselves. Pay for the drive-thru order of the car behind you, take a cute coffee mug with chocolate and a coffee pod or tea bag in it and leave it on your neighbor’s doorstep with an invitation to bring it over and share a conversation, or drop a gift card or a meal at an adoptive or foster family’s home. When you give an unexpected gift of love, you receive so much more in return.
Instead of indulging in heavy meals and sweets for Valentine’s Day (or to work them off!), why not spend time outside doing something fun with your spouse, your children, or other loved ones? If you are single, grab some friends and get them moving.
For a little outdoor romance, take advantage of your locale for an outdoor exploration. Bike a trail, walk a park, hike a mountain, or take a dive in the ocean. Get out of your comfort zone and away from televisions, cell phones, and laptop screens.
“Light the fire pit and have s’mores together,” Hairston says. “If he’s an outdoors type, take him to a new trail and go for a hike. If you live in a warm climate near the beach, prepare lunch for two and lie in the shore.”
Finally, think beyond flowers, chocolate and jewelry for Valentine’s Day gifts. Include a gift that benefits your body. CBD may promote whole, healthy living in many ways. Although CBD products are not yet regulated by the FDA, some scientific studies show CBD may benefit the one you love by reducing inflammation in many areas. Some people who use CBD regularly report improved skin conditions and relief from sleeplessness and stress. Why not include CBD in some of the gifts you give this year?
CBD roll-on topical oils are often combined with other antioxidants and life-giving ingredients like peppermint, lavender, or turmeric. Try CBD as a massage oil to ease those tight shoulders and smooth dry skin. Tuck a CBD tincture in a gift basket with dried fruit, mixed nuts, and other healthy snacks. If chocolate is your love’s desire, try some CBD-infused dark chocolates this year.
By tending to your body, mind, and spirit, you can have a Valentine’s Day that keeps benefitting you and the ones you love all year.

What do people who are sick and dying talk about?
They talk about the love they felt, and the love they gave. Often they talk about love they did not receive, or the love they did not know how to offer, the love they withheld, or maybe never felt for the ones they should have loved unconditionally……they call out to their parents: Mama, Daddy, Mother.
We don’t live our lives in our heads, in theology and theories. We live our lives in our families: the families we are born into, the families we create, the families we make through the people we choose as friends.
When the love is imperfect, or a family is destructive, something else can be learned: forgiveness. The spiritual work of being human is learning how to love and how to forgive.
Easier said than done I know. Yet by forgiving our parents and family, (forgive doesn’t mean forget…),we forgive ourselves and that’s what most important.
If you are not talking to one of your parents or both, pick up the phone, send a letter, an email or better pay a visit, for once they are gone you will be left with remorses…


Common Law vs. Married: Property Rights
Many people are under the assumption that if they live with an individual in a common law relationship for a certain amount of time and contribute to a home that they develop an ownership to the property. This is not the case! If you are not on title or there is no up-to-date contract in relation to the home/property then the person not on title is not entitled to anything.
Married couples have rights to ownership even if they are not on title, common law partners in Ontario have no rights to seek a division of property rights or assets. Each person, in a common law relationship, has the right to keep what is in their name and if there are joint ownerships it must be sold and then the profit split. Many lawyers will suggest that you do not pay for things (cars, homes, loans, etc) in a common law relationship unless your name is attached to it.
There are many couples that believe that because they have been together for a certain amount of time that the home they live in becomes the Matrimonial Home, this is not the case unless you are legally married. During divorce proceedings, of married couples, you get a credit towards any item that you brought into the marriage that you owned before you got married with exception to the home. The home will be split equally even if owned by one person before the marriage. This does not happen with common law couples, the “matrimonial home” is considered the same as any other item and if it is only in one person’s name in the relationship when the relationship ends the person on title has full ownership of the home. This applies to common law couples who have been together for years and have equally paid the mortgage, utility bills and renovations/upgrades to the home. If you are not on the title of the home you get nothing when the relationship ends.
The Ontario Family Law Act gives possessory rights to married couples, meaning that both people in a marriage can stay in a home even if only one person’s name is on the title of the property. The home cannot be sold without signatures by both parties agreeing to the sales terms. None of this applies to common law couples. For common law couples, after a relationship ends you only have rights to stay in the home if your name is on title and if you refuse to leave the person on title can legally evict you. You have no say on whether the home is sold and what the sales terms are; even if you have invested in the home over the years.
Another issue that comes up with Common Law relationships is you have no property rights with regards to your partner’s estate. If your partner passes away without a will and you are not on title, you will be treated as though the relationship never existed.

Broker of Record/Owner


Within six months, she had met a lot of people, men and women both, but none had held her interest, nor she theirs. Many simply stopped responding to her messages and, after the one meet-up she did gather her courage to go on ended poorly, she was fairly certain she wanted to cancel her account.
So she planned to, once the month was up.
And then, something strange happened. She met a nice young man from the air force. They talked and discovered that they had many things in common: interests and values and other important things that made her smile when she read his messages.
They didn't message daily, both being busy adults, but it had been almost a week since she had heard from him. The month was coming to a close, and she was still planning on canceling her account. So when she received an email from him saying that he was sorry for the lack of correspondence, that he had simply been super busy, she was more than please to respond with a message that said, in essence, i'm glad you were just busy, i'm canceling my account, here is my private email address, please email me, before she went ahead and canceled her account.
Then she waited.
It occurred to her on day four that the website may have deleted all of the messages she had ever sent, including the last one that had her email address in it.
So, being rather clever, she decided to try to look him up on facebook, and send him a quick message, just in case. Yeah, she felt creepy, but you know... cute guy.
She did find him and, feeling even more creepy, sent him a message, just basically saying, hi, in case they deleted my messages, i canceled my account. so... hi :)
She was hopeful, but again, nothing.
For many days.
And, as one's mind is likely to do when one is waiting for something that one is trying not to want, she began to construct various possible scenarios as to what may have happened to keep him from getting back to her:
Scenario 1: Cinderella
The young man sees her message but, being too busy, does not respond right away. She cancels her account, deleting her email address from his inbox in the process.
When he finally returns to his inbox with time to respond, her message is gone and he had only viewed it once. So, since he is super into her (but he doesn't really use facebook b/c he thinks it's dumb like she does) he begins to email all permutations of the words and numbers he can vaguely recall from his one glance at her email address.
Eventually, he'll get it right and they shall be reunited in cyberland and live happily ever after.
Scenario 2: The Notebook
Due to imperfect timing, her message gets deleted before he ever sees it, thus causing him to think that she has just up and vanished from the internet. Once he realizes that she and all her messages are gone, he tries to look her up on facebook, but -- having once worked in a middle school -- her name is un-searchable.
She, of course, will make herself searchable again when she sends him the facebook message, but since he doesn't really use facebook that often, he doesn't check his profile or see her message until several months from now, when he has already found another nice girl to date.
They are never reunited, but the young woman comforts herself with the thought that, in this particular scenario, she gets to be Ryan Gosling.
Scenario 3: Pearl Harbor
Something terrible happens at the base and the young man is presumed dead. A friend of his tries to contact friends and family via the young man's facebook page, sees her message and contacts the young lady. An unlikely friendship begins.
Once this friendship blooms into a romantic relationship, the original young man shows up because he was never actually dead in the first place. Awkwardness ensues.
As expected, Josh Hartnett dies.
Scenario 4: Romeo and Juliet
The young man, having been extremely busy, writes down her email address to use later, and smiles when he sees her, somewhat awkward, facebook message. But then, he gets a better look at the few details he can see on her profile and realizes that she is the daughter of his family's greatest rival. He cannot bring himself to betray his family by contacting her again.
He is currently waxing poetic upon a balcony, cursing their fate and their family names, waiting for her to show up and tell him that a rose, by any other name, would smell just as sweet.
Her message doesn't get deleted from the dating website, b/c they know how to keep text around even after a profile has been hidden (unlike stupid facebook). he sees her message, and for some logical reason decides that he no longer wants to keep in contact with this particular lady.
When he sees her facebook message, he begins to suspect that she may be a stalker, and places her name on a permanent ignore list.
They never speak again.

5 signs that you are trapped in a loveless marriage
All marriages go through ups and downs, but if you recognize these signs, your problems may be more serious than you thought.
Making the decision to leave a marriage is frightening, especially when you fear being alone and the uncertainty of the future. Many stay with him, settle for pain and dissatisfaction in his place and, if he is not sure, here are 5 signs that he is trapped in a loveless marriage.
Staying in an unhappy marriage can have long-term effects on our mental and emotional health. Research shows that people in bad marriages generally have low self-esteem, struggle against anxiety and depression. People often feel sad and distressed when they decide to leave, but people who divorce recover emotionally.
If any of these signs mean anything to you, then it’s time to carefully analyze the state of your marriage.
1. The gap between you keeps growing more and more
One way to distinguish between a common marriage routine and a loveless marriage is to ask yourself how long the situation has gone this way and if it has steadily worsened.
it is always better to avoid passing the point of no return.
2. You dream of a life without your spouse
If you often imagine a happy future without your partner, that is an important signal that things are not right.
This is part of the process of emotional detachment, during which you can try to convince yourself that you do not care anymore so that the eventual separation is less painful.
3. They will not listen (or listen to you)
When you sit down to talk with your spouse about what works and what does not work, do you hear silence? Or does it feel like nothing changes, no matter how vocal it is about your feelings? That is a problem!
The most powerful tool we have to resolve our conflicts is to listen and understand each other.
When we invite our partners to share what we have done to disappoint them, and when we truly hear and understand their feelings, decades of pain and anger can easily fade away. Make a point of listening to the emotions and underlying messages in your partner’s words.
4. You are about to have an emotional adventure
If you are not happy with your spouse, you may be falling into an emotional adventure, making another man the priority of your life. And thanks to today’s technology, it’s easier than ever to catch up. Technology has allowed people who never risk any type of adventure to flirt online.
This creates a situation of “temptation” and not everything that happens online stays online. If your relationship is already on the rocks, giving yourself to someone else, even if you are only online, it will only make things worse.

Patrick took his role as big brother very seriously. From as far back as I can remember, he was protecting me—and all my girlfriends. He was 21 months older than me, so we were only one grade apart in school. I loved being so close in age because it made us more than siblings, but good friends. I loved being his little sister. Not only did he always make sure I was safe, he made sure I was happy. He called me “Sissy” and would constantly tell me how beautiful and precious I was…and I could tell he truly meant it. We loved each other the way parents pray their kids will love each other. It wasn’t a forced sibling love, it was organic and pure. In my eyes he was the coolest, smartest, and funniest person I knew (and will ever know)—and I was so proud that he was my brother. I wanted nothing more in the world than for him to be happy. He brought our family so much joy and entertainment with his ridiculous humor—I can’t remember a time my dad would smile more than when Patrick would tell jokes. While he was at Dartmouth I tried to visit as much as possible. He made me feel so welcome and I could tell he wanted me to meet his friends and teammates. I actually felt a deeper sense of school spirit for Dartmouth than my own college—that’s how hospitable he was. I loved having discussions with him about random topics because he was so passionate and knowledgeable about stuff no one else was. He could teach you the history of some obscure topic and it was extremely impressive. It also never ceased to amaze me how kind and engaging he was to anyone that crossed his path—he had a special way of making people feel important, even if they were complete strangers and would never see each other again. His heart was so generous and big—and his smile was infectious. Sadly, as his CTE symptoms became more prevalent, the last few years were really tough on our relationship. I tried to help and didn’t understand why he would act and do the things he did. I eventually lost my patience and ability to sympathize. Now, I so wish that I could rewind time and do so much different so he knew how much I still loved him.
