Relationship Quality in Tourism: A Case of Local Tourism Cluster in Lithuania
Relationship quality is usually studied only in terms of a few tourism subsectors, and the quality of buyer-seller relationship is revealed in the context. The dimensions of interorganizational relationships are analyzed only in a fragmentary manner; only a few separate dimensions, as opposed to their entirety, are evaluated. There is a lack of studies that would reveal the relationship quality of tourism cluster participants and its impact on tourism cluster performance. Thus the purpose of the paper is to identify the quality dimensions of interorganizational relationships in a tourism cluster and to verify their expression using a local example of Kedainiai region tourism cluster. The paper contributes to the domain of interorganizational relationships quality research through the analysis of in-depth interview with participants of Kedainiai region tourism cluster.

Waiver of Claim of Breach
This document can assist adversarial parties to “get over” a breach with the purposes of moving the relationship forward and not descending into litigation. If the relationship is worth preserving, this can be a good business approach to resolving a difficulty without resorting to court. Formalizing it puts the parties in a proper position should litigation result from the situation at a later time.

I smile every time I think of that encounter. Poor boy. He'd been instructed by his church to follow John 13:34 "Love one another" but he just couldn't do it when he met me. I always thought it was too bad that Jesus hadn't mentioned "Do not scratch yourself in front of your roommate's girlfriend"--that would have been a more useful injunction to me. The reality is that I didn't want him to "love" me, nor did I feel any compulsion to love him.

I'm just feeling really forever alone right now. See, I have two best friends, the three of us are really close to each other, and we're each other's best friends. We've been best friends since literally we've each been born. I've grown up with them and they have been my best friends my whole life. My best friends are next-door neighbors and I live fifteen minutes away/the next town over.
So since they are live right next to each other, they see each other almost all the time, which I don't have a problem with at all. I mean, I talk to them all the time, so I don't feel left out that way. I know they love and care for me a lot even though I don't really get to see them often because of our conflicting schedules and lack of transportation lol.
It's when I'll be talking to one of my best friends online or whatever and she'll say "[other best friend's name] is here!" And then I'll think "oh cool, now I can talk to both of them" and for a couple of minutes, they will. But then, without warning, they'll just stop responding. I'll say something and they won't type anything back. And I just feel so left out, so alone, that I just feel really sad and a little mad. I know that I shouldn't be surprised that they stop talking to me if they're going to be hanging out together. They get distracted and I realize that. But it makes me sad that they don't even bother to say anything. And it makes me sad that they can have sleepovers together randomly on the weekends without even telling me about them, which is what they are doing right now. I feel selfish for feeling this way too. As if they should be paying attention to me all the time. I hate feeling this way and feeling insecure about their friendship with me. They mean SO SO SO much to me and I know how much I mean to them. They helped me get through a lot of tough things and I know we love each other a lot.
I haven't actually seen them in a while, but I don't think it's that. I just really feel left out, I guess. I most likely won't tell my best friends how I feel either, even though they are my best friends and I usually tell them everything. I'm not the confrontational type and once again, I feel really crappy for feeling this way. The only reasons that I'm even posting how I feel here are that I need somewhere to rant and nobody that I knows in real life knows about this blog. Otherwise, I wouldn't even say anything.

APKY/AMP: Hello Todd, and welcome to AuthorMeProfessionals. I also thank you for giving me the opportunity to read your very engaging book Conversation Is Sexy. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the witty, light-hearted way you write in. To begin with our first question: You say communication can be a powerful aphrodisiac. That leapt at me right off the page. Can you please expand on that for us?
TODD REED: Thanks and what a great question to start off with. Every relationship begins with both a physical and verbal connection. Think back to when you fell in love with your special someone and experienced that rush of adrenaline when you both laid eyes on and spoke to each other. Not only was the physical connection intense, but face-to-face and phone conversations would last for long periods of time. As relationships mature and routines are established, the amount of conversation that takes place between couples decreases. In fact, research tells us that often couples will spend less than 20 minutes a day talking to each other as a relationship matures. If we talk less, then it stands to reason that not only are we not connecting with each other on a daily basis (which is so important to the health of any relationship), but that we aren’t expressing and exchanging sentiments of love. I’m talking about the language of love here, and saying things like “you’re so beautiful,” or whispering, “I think you’re so sexy,” or “I can’t wait to see you later when I get home,” or “have I told you what an amazing wife/husband you are?” It’s so important to both men and women that they feel appreciated and admired by the love of their life, and taking the time to express both on a daily basis can go a long way in cementing the foundation of a relationship. So the reason I so strongly believe that communication is a powerful aphrodisiac is that it keeps you both connected and focused on each other. When you use the “language of love” and words like “beautiful,” “gorgeous,” “sensual,” “sexy,” “amazing,” “handsome,” “hot,” and “attractive” (even try whispering them from time to time), it promotes a higher frequency of intimacy.
APKY/AMP: It certainly does. Todd, you lay some marvellous emphasis on two words most people take for granted: hearing and listening. And you go on to explain that men and women listen differently. Can you elaborate on this, tell the readers why this is so?
TODD REED: In working with couples, I’ve found that the majority of women “listen” (meaning they really absorb what’s being said), while most men “hear” (meaning they take in what’s being communicated, but don’t necessarily attach their emotions to the words). Generally speaking, women are more emotionally based and find it easier to attach feelings to words. Men, on the other hand, often default to what I call a “Mr. Fix It” mode of communicating. Literally moments into a conversation, men begin to analyze how they can fix whatever problem, issue or circumstance that’s being discussed, instead of taking the entire message in and then formulating an appropriate response. Men often struggle with the concept that women sometimes just want us to listen to what they’re saying without offering some type of solution. And since men tend to be more physical or sexual first and emotional second, we have to work harder at being better listeners. I often joke with my clients that the best time to connect with a man emotionally is the morning, evening or afternoon after making love…although I’m only partially joking.
APKY/AMP: That’s good to know, fellow ladies! Now, often people feel they should hold something back from their partner out of fear that it might be too outrageous, hurt feelings or the person him-/herself feels embarrassed or think they’d sound completely ridiculous, pathetic, idiotic. How does one get out of this “Communication Jail” as you put it?
TODD REED: No doubt this is one of the more challenging topics to deal with because all things you mentioned in this question point directly to individual insecurities. Example, “I’m afraid to tell my wife I want to have more sex, because it will just causes an argument.” Or, “I want my boyfriend to be more affectionate towards me, but I know he’ll just make fun of me.” From the time we felt that first urge and realized the opposite sex wasn’t truly the enemy, we’ve all been told that honesty and full disclosure were two of the keys to a successful relationship. Unfortunately, what we don’t take into consideration at that moment is our ability to be and feel vulnerable, and developing the ability to be confrontational without blowing up the relationship. The result of not mastering both of the aforementioned is “Communication Jail.” Non-disclosure, keeping things inside for the fear you may cause conflict, feeling embarrassed or being made to feel like you’re less than perfect all lead to “Communication Jail.” Like termites eating away at the infrastructure of your house, the inability to overcome personal insecurities and communicate openly will continually eat away at the foundation of your relationship. So, staying out of “Communication Jail” begins with you. I tell my clients all the time to identify the emotion that’s keeping you from expressing yourself. By simply identifying the emotion, you begin empowering yourself and can begin formulating a plan to deal with it. There’s nothing wrong with being scared, but there is something wrong with being scared if it paralyzes you and keeps you from taking action. Not taking action only increases your discomfort and puts more skeletons in your closet, and we all know that eventually those skeletons come out and rear their ugly heads.
So, the process of avoiding “Communication Jail” is the following: Identify the emotion that’s keeping you from discussing an important topic. Allow yourself to accept the fact that it’s o.k. to feel that particular emotion and then ask yourself, “How will this impact the future of my relationship if I don’t resolve this conflict?” Example: If you’re not making love as often as you’d like and that’s been a trend for some time, do you think somewhere down the road the forces of nature will mysteriously solve that problem? Or might you get more frustrated as time goes on, which would certainly cause more tension and stress in your relationship? Once you allow yourself to see how your relationship could be impacted down the road, your motivation for fixing your problem—or, as I like to say “resolve the conflict”--should intensify. Next, create an environment that’s calming and free of kids, stress and distraction. Then tell you significant other how much you love them and would like to discuss how “we” can improve our relationship. Try and use the words “we” and “us” vs. “I” and “you.” The goal is to resolve these conflicts as a team and keep your relationship healthy.
APKY/AMP: Great advice, Todd. Let’s come to another area I found riveting in your book: Sexual fantasies. Todd, this is where communication should be sexiest but seldom is. No one wants to discuss they’re in bed with James Bond/Sister Superior when they have sex with their partners to their partners! How would your book help in this particular case?
TODD REED: The first step is acknowledging that we all have fantasies, and I’m talking about both sexes here. What’s important and what a number of couples struggle with is keeping those fantasies separate from their love life. I agree that it’s never productive to think about another person while making love to your partner. There are some easy tips you can use to avoid this.
--Stay in the moment by keeping your eyes open while making love or having sex.
--Don’t make love in total darkness. Use dim lights or even candles to set the mood.
--Make eye contact while making love…unless the position doesn’t allow it…lol.
--Avoid lovemaking routines--like always doing it in the same place, at the same time of day/night and in the same way.
--Most importantly, conduct periodic relationship check-ups with you lover. Make sure you’re still meeting his/her needs, physically, mentally and verbally.
--Make sure you’re bringing the right attitude to the bedroom. Example: I’m no movie star, but when I make love to my significant other, I feel like I’m the sexiest man on the planet. And that’s so important for women to understand. Men love it when the woman in their life acts/believes she’s the sexiest woman alive.
APKY/AMP: Which brings us to the next question: Why do partners lose that endorphin spark, what you call the “honeymoon high” they had at the beginning of the relationship?
TODD REED: There’s always a leveling off period that takes place in any relationship. It’s no different than when you buy a new car and take it for its first drive. The way you feel driving it, how it handles and how it smells are all new, but six months down the road, those feelings have all gone away. The two main reasons couples lose the “endorphin spark” as you mentioned are due to: (1) Frequency and (2) Routines. Specifically, frequency from being around each other day in and day out, and the routines we develop in day-to-day life. During the honeymoon phase, it’s common to stay up later, sacrifice sleep and go out of your way to see, spend time and make love to the new love of your life. A year later, getting a good night sleep, going to work and taking care of the house seem to demand most of your attention. Somewhere along the way we tend to settle into a life style and become comfortable with our relationships. We forget that while the “honeymoon high” may be gone, we can still keep the spark alive by taking time each day/week to spend some quality special time with each other.
APKY/AMP: Right. Are there ways to get the relationship back to the “honeymoon high” years?
TODD REED: Yes, date nights for one. If you don’t have “date nights” in your relationship on weekly or bi-weekly basis, start! Date nights can range from dinner out on the town, to cocktails and appetizers at a favorite local establishment to conducting a “spa night” at home with just the two of you. Think about it, how much one-on-one time do you spend with your significant other on a weekly basis? We’ll work 40+ hours at our job, come home, eat dinner and zone out watching some TV before heading to bed, but we often fail to spend fifteen or twenty minutes of quality one-on-one time with our partners. Oh, did I fail to mention that one of the biggest benefits of “date night” is seeing your significant other dress up? While men tend to be more visual than women, ladies very much love to see their man in something that makes him look good. Endorphins are often sparked by visual and physical stimulation, so dress up and use the sense of touch to release those endorphins.
APKY/AMP: So true! Now, one of the things you dwell on in detail is kissing – that first intimate act between couples. You recommend that couples should kiss with their eyes open. But most couples go into close-eyes mode just about automatically. So, how to revert this reflex, Todd?
TODD REED: Kissing with your eyes open--or slightly open--is a fantastic technique that allows you to be present and stay in the moment. As we’ve talked about in a previous question, my goal is to keep every couple “in the moment” when making love, and not thinking about other people or having some other fantasy. If your eyes are slightly open, it forces you to focus on your partner. I realize that people will still default to the reflex you spoke about, but again, I encourage anyone reading this to try and kiss with your eyes slightly open and see how it feels and see how you improve on the making love experience. By the way, if you’re someone that finds themselves relying on fantasy during your love making process in order to climax, you may want to read Conversation Is Sexy and begin figuring out how to fix that--and get reconnected with the love of your life.
APKY/AMP: The next steep hurdle is the human affinity to vulnerability. Everybody wants to present themselves to their partners from their Schokoladenseite, as we say in Germany – from their most attractive side. That’s what our society and civilization has imbued in us as the road to success and a happy life. What do you recommend to help people bare their hearts so to speak, to their partners?
TODD REED: This always seems more of challenge for men than women. Generally speaking, women are not only better overall communicators, but they struggle less with tapping into their vulnerability and sharing that side of their personality. The key for most women is developing a level of trust they feel comfortable with. Once there, however, most women do a great job of revealing inner secrets, likes and dislikes. Men, on the other hand, are a bit more challenging and generally need a little help to accomplish the same goals. By nature, we don’t always feel comfortable being vulnerable, since it’s perceived as being less than “macho,” But when bitten by the “love bug,” most men will do their best to open up and reveal their inner thoughts, wishes and desires. I emphasize to the couples I work with how important it is for both sexes to open up and be vulnerable with each other. During those conversations, I always spend a significant amount of time communicating to the man how important it is to develop a comfort level with being vulnerable. Anyone can talk about their strong points or attributes, but the strength of any relationship centers around knowing and improving on your weaknesses. So put your best foot forward, but tap into your vulnerability and start peeling those layers of sensitivity if you want your relationship to be successful.
APKY/AMP: Right. There is also the societal/psychological influence of not just what we “should be” but also what we “should look like”. Again it’s a cultural thing and the role models we’re given are “perfect”. We develop a self-image versus the “role model” image which often conflicts. To use this as a metaphor, should a woman get breast enhancement (whoever discovers these descriptions, Todd:) if her man reveals that he really prefers breasts larger/smaller than hers after the bare-our-hearts-to-each-other openness talk?
TODD REED: This is one of my favorite topics to comment on because most people struggle with self-image at some point in their lives. Here are the indisputable facts when it comes to relationships, love and self-image: Couples are attracted to each other for a multitude of reasons--some physical, some mental and some emotional--but I’ve yet to meet a perfect person. So, while culturally we’re inundated with airbrushed photos of incredibly sexy woman (with or without large breasts) and men with six pack abs that every guy would kill for, the actual number of people who possess those traits are minimal. I work very hard to educate couples that the key to being sexy, hot, sensual and feeling like a Marilyn Monroe bombshell is more mental than physical. If you think you’re sexy, give off the vibe that you’re sexy and act that way…(just like by looking like a duck and quacking like a duck, you become a very sexy duck…lol. I had to throw that in!!). When you stand in front of a mirror (as we all do) and point out what you don’t like about your body, and if you’re not happy with the size and shape of your breasts, then it should be talked about with your significant other. The goal should be to have both people agree on whether you should or shouldn’t get implants. I wanted to make that point before directly answering your question.
Now, if a man introduces the concept to his wife that he’s not happy with the size/shape of her breasts, things get a little more complicated. The question becomes: Is he really not happy with her breasts (which usually is not the case), or is there some other hidden meaning behind his request? Even when directly asked, most men mightily struggle with telling their significant others that they are not happy with what’s going on in the bedroom or with their love lives. Sorry ladies, but this can be one of those situations where you have to read between the lines and probe a little deeper. Let me put it to you this way: I’ve been in relationships with women with small, medium and large breasts and have never suggested to any woman that they increase or decrease the size of their breasts. What I can tell you is that most men are very visual and sexual, we love for our ladies to be sexy, smell sexy (in most cases) and act sexy. All this is easy in the beginning of a relationship, because we go on dates and always do our best to make great impressions. Two, three, or even five years into a relationship, the question is: Are you still recreating those moments? Remember ladies, your man fell in love with “YOU,” not some picture in a magazine or on a billboard. But as relationships mature and routines take over, we don’t often revisit those early days of dating and embrace the “sexy” side of life that helped bring us together. So, does your man really want you to change the size of your breasts? Maybe, but what he really may be asking is for you (no matter what you think of your current body) to turn back the clock, adjust your mental state of mind (meaning believing you’re a supermodel), put on something sexy and rock his world!
APKY/AMP: Wow, not that hard, is it? Another modern influence that you discuss is passion and sex. Since we live in an age where sex is top of the pops, are couples forgetting to be passionate, which is more emotional, and concentrating more on sex?
TODD REED: I don’t believe couples are forgetting to be passionate, but I do believe that being passionate and sexual when you’re first dating or in the first stage of your relationship is easier than when you’re say 2, 5 or 10 years into a relationship. Why? Because work and life routines take over our lives, and if you have kids, the demands on your free time are even more intense. The longer you’re together, the more I encourage you to make time for each other, away from all of life’s distractions. One of the major benefits to being in a committed relationship is knowing that the other person is there for you, and that includes the physical part of the relationship. Speaking of your physical relationship, I encourage you to maintain a balance of passion vs. sex. There’s no question that both are important, but an overdose of one over the other can throw your love life out of sync. Passion is all about building anticipation, taking your time (much like sipping a fine glass of wine) using the language of love, light touching, kissing and really communicating with your body how much you love your partner. On the other hand, sex is all about tapping into that animal aspect of the attraction you have with your significant other--the chance to just “go for it” and express yourself while ravaging your partner. Every couple establishes the way in which they best accomplish having “sex,” but it’s all about adrenaline and endorphins and the “call of the wild.”
APKY/AMP: Todd, if I hadn’t been lucky enough to read your book, this is the point I’d be dropping everything else and Googling the book or running to my favourite bookshop. But – lucky me…lol! Back to Conversation Is Sexy: Making assumptions is an aspect that creeps into a relationship with time. How can couples shut it out and keep on pushing each other’s right buttons?
TODD REED: The biggest reason this takes place is that couples forget to conduct periodic “relationship check-ups.” Sounds simple, but it’s so easy to put them off or not even conduct them at all. Every 3 to 4 months, you should schedule a meeting with your partner to discuss the status of your relationship. Are you both still on the same page? Are your future goals the same, or do they need to be updated? Individually, how is each person feeling about themselves and the relationship? And finally, what’s the status of your love life? Over time, wants and desires can change. What got the job done once upon a time may not be getting it done now. As your relationship matures, wants, needs and desires can shift a little. I know it sounds simple, but ask yourself when the last time it was that you had a “relationship check-up?” Isn’t it about time?
APKY/AMP: Todd, does Conversation Is Sexy only about communication between partners?
TODD REED: Not at all! Using the tools, tips and techniques in my book are all about helping you become a better communicator. Being a better communicator will ultimately help you become a better husband, wife, friend, family member and co-worker. I’ve heard from so many people who have shared stories about how becoming a “Sexy Conversationalist” has impacted their entire lives.
APKY/AMP: That’s great. You also go into great lengths to assert that communication is not restricted to the verbal. What other non-verbal conversation is sexy?
TODD REED: Non-verbal communication is key in any relationship. Light touching, caressing, hugs, kisses, body contact and massage are just a few of the non-verbal types of communication. Words are so important, actions carry even a bigger punch, but how you express yourself non-verbally can earn you major bonus points and can help keep the “fire” in any relationship burning.
APKY/AMP: Okay. Coming to the question of forgiveness which you dwell on in the book. Forgiveness is naturally preceeded by apology or apologies. Many people feel “belittled” either in apologizing or forgiving. What advice do you give such people in Conversation Is Sexy?
TODD REED: You bring up two very important topics: apologizing and forgiving. Let’s talk about apologizing first. Taking responsibility for your actions/words is something we’re taught to do as kids and carries even more importance in our grown up relationships. The problem is, sometimes as adults we choose to act like we did when we were kids, and we look to blame others for our actions. We sometimes lie in order to avoid taking responsibility. For men and women alike, I tell them: “If you want your relationship to be successful, than you must learn to apologize when you screw up.” I can’t say it any other way!! As humans, we are not perfect and never will be. Therefore, each of us makes mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes are small, and sometimes they’re big, but if you want to live “happily ever after,” you must learn to accept that you will make mistakes.
Now to the topic of forgiveness and why it’s so important. Understanding that, as humans, we “all” make mistakes is a good first step, but learning how to forgive can be an amazing tool in growing the depth of your relationship. Think about it: Do you feel differently towards the person who’s forgiven you for saying something unkind, or the person who knows they said something inappropriate, but refuses to say anything? Those who learn to forgive are more respected than those who don’t. Remember, It’s important to mention that we’re talking about forgiveness here, and not necessarily “FORGETTING”. Have you heard the old cliché, “To err is human, but to forgive divine?” The point here is that since every one of us makes mistakes, doesn’t it make sense that we should learn to forgive? Finally, pay attention to patterns of behavior when it comes to forgiving. Being late for dinner once and being forgiven is great, but it doesn’t give you a free pass to be late over and over again. Forgiveness may clean the slate of your mistake or wrongdoing, but it doesn’t give you a carte blanche to commit the same mistake over and over again.
APKY/AMP: Thank you so much, Todd. It’s been a wonderful interview and Conversation Is Sexy has certainly enriched my life experiences enormously. I and AuthorMeProfessionals wish you all the best with your projects in helping others improve their lives.

Caroline anticipated an easy breakup with Calvin. It had only been a few months, and though Calvin was a nice guy, Caroline wasn’t in love with him. They’d had a nice enough time together, but Caroline wanted something more than just a nice time. She wanted excitement and passion. Drama, even. She and Calvin had never had a fight, and Caroline realized she missed fighting. Caroline’s main concern about the break-up was that she kept a pricey moisturizer at his place, and she didn’t want to forget it after she told him goodbye.
When Calvin opened the door to his condo, his eyes were red and moist. Caroline wondered if she’d managed to break up with him te

How much money would it take to make you stay in a relationship that you wanted out of? It may seem an obscure question, after all, what person would charge people to leave a relationship? Well, apparently the coalition wants to.
It follows in the traditional Tory right stance as being 'pro-family', but this seems a little out of step with reality to me. Who would stay in a relationship that they didn't think had a future simply to save a little money? Furthermore, if someone did stay in a relationship for that reason, would it be the best environment to raise children in?

Introducing... the Van Houts!
Last night, Thomas and I brought friends and family together from all over the country to compete in the first-ever-and-only Steely or Koff naming games. The purpose was simple: to decide which last name we would assume as a married couple. The games were filled with riveting excitement, intense drama and nail biting suspense. It was a day where scissors prevailed, partners were pampered, knots were tangled, and bouquets made heroes of men and women alike.
It all came down to the final event—and we were just as surprised as everyone when we ended with a 30-30 point tie. Under this rare win condition, we had previously agreed to take neither Steely nor Koff, but instead turn to Thomas’s mother’s maiden name: Van Hout. (Why? because it sounds badass!)
The reason that this competition worked is that we were both willing to freely give our names to each other from a place of love and equality ...with a healthy dose of the fun and mischief that is characteristic to our relationship.
We are grateful to our amazing community of friends and family for your love, support, and help in making this decision. We look forward to our future together as the Van Houts!

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.

If your partner is willing to remain involved, one of you may choose to assume most day to day responsibilities of raising the child, while the other parent may offer financial support and visit on certain days. Often one single parent has sole legal custody, meaning that this parent has unilateral authority in making important decisions about the child. Some unmarried parents choose to reach an informal agreement about parenting time, decision making, and support. Other parents prefer to formalize their agreement through the Probate and Family Court or choose to seek assistance from the Court if they disagree about these issues.
If your partner does not remain involved, you may be decide to assume all responsibilities of raising the child, potentially with the help of other family and friends. In this case, you would have sole legal custody (you make all the decisions involved in the child’s life) and sole physical custody (the child lives with you). You may also consider requesting assistance in obtaining child support through the Department of Human Services or by filing a case with the Probate and Family Court yourself.
Getting married is an option for some couples in an unplanned pregnancy. If you and your partner have been in a serious committed relationship for a while, and have talked about marriage, then this may be an option for you. While many do not want to choose marriage solely for the sake of the baby, it may be something to consider if you and your partner care about each other and desire to stay together long term. We recommend meeting with a premarital counselor, or one of our counselors, before taking this step.
Joint parenting is an option if both parents are committed to raising the child, they are able to communicate and cooperate well, and marriage is not the right choice. Joint parenting can include shared legal custody (with the child primarily living with one parent) or both shared legal custody and shared physical custody. When parents share physical custody, the child spends approximately equal time with each parent, usually on a week-to-week, two-week, or seasonal schedule. When parents share legal custody, they make important decisions about the child together.


According to this Forbes article, there are some possible benefits of separation rather than divorce: if you and your partner agree on how to resolve the “business” aspects of marriage, a separation agreement allows you to live the details in an opposable legal document. If you are considering a divorce, but first want to try to live separately, a separation agreement can help you get through all the practical and emotional considerations about how life would be separated rather than together. According to the law, an equal distribution of marital property is preferred, but if one spouse asks for unequal distribution and the judge finds that an unequal distribution would be fair, the court may give one party more over-assets or debts than the other. Judges take many factors into account in deciding to share ownership. These factors include income, wealth and debts of both parties; The seniority and health sectors of the parties; The length of the marriage Each party`s contributions to the other party`s profitability; Tax impact and more. Marital misconduct is not a fair distribution factor, except in cases of financial misconduct after separation. The full list of factors can be find here. PREPARATION OF THE AGREEMENT. No lawyer can represent a man or a woman in a separation contract. It is best to have two lawyers involved, one to advise each partner.
In this way, the husband and wife know that they have received independent legal advice for their individual circumstances from a lawyer who has no conflict of interest when representing two clients with different objectives and needs. A separation agreement is not necessary to be legally separated from your spouse. However, a separation agreement can resolve many of the legal issues related to the end of a marriage. For example, you can decide how to divide your property and whether one of you pays the lower limit of the other. In some cases, spouses may request that the separation agreement be part of their final divorce decision. Spouses who are able to resolve separation issues through a separation agreement can make these decisions themselves and avoid having to go to court. You should set a timetable to determine who pays what debt in the agreement, including the creditor`s name, account number, debt purpose, approximate balance and monthly payment amount. This will not prevent the creditor from suing both parties if the payments are not made by a spouse and both names are required, but it does allow the innocent party to ask the court to bring the culprit to justice.

Introduction: Parenting styles influence youth outcomes. For example, higher parental control and lower involvement lead to greater youth difficulties. Furthermore, solicitous parenting behavior is related to youths’ higher pain. During COVID-19, many emerging adult (EA) returned to caregiver homes, possibly disrupting autonomy. However, we know little about how parenting styles influence EA pain. This study aims to investigate whether 1) parenting styles influence EA pain and 2) living situation moderates the relationship between parenting style and EA pain.
Methods:1057 undergraduate students (74% White, non-Hispanic, 19% Hispanic, 9% Asian, 7% Black, 7% Multiracial; Mage 19.85) were recruited from three universities. Participants reported pain intensity, frequency, duration, and participant’s perception of caregiver behavior (About My Mother scale; participant specified which caregiver they considered).
Results: EA with no pain reported higher parental autonomy support F(987) = 10.12, p<.001, involvement F(999) = 10.79, p<.001, and structure F(1007) = 11.37, p<.001 compared to EA with acute and chronic pain. Overall, more frequent pain days were associated with lower parental autonomy support, r(992) = -.15, p<.001, involvement r(1006) = -.16, p<.001, and structure r(1014) = -.13, p<.001, as well as higher parental control r(1012) = .06, p=.047. Higher pain intensity was associated with lower parental autonomy support r(616) = -.12, p=.003, involvement r(625) = -.11, p=.004, and structure r(628) = -.10, p=.014. Living status moderated the relationship between parental involvement and pain intensity such that those not living at home had lower pain intensity when parent involvement was higher (β = .04, p=.044).
Conclusions: Findings suggest higher autonomy and parental involvement may be protective among EA with pain. Further examination into how parenting styles impact dimensions of EA pain is needed.

A friend randomly suggested me to update this. Been having no idea plus no time plus no proper wifi conn to write since the last few months.
Quick glance over myself right now : 22 already, am about to start 2nd trimester of master next week, and still (since infinity), no sign of success on diet. Blah. The word just hangs on the tongue without any realization.
There were gah-zillion conversations about love that I engaged in the past couple months. Need to highlight some of them. Both as quick reminder for myself and also a gentle slap on your face : Have you really been in the right relationship?
(read it on someone's Path post couple months ago) Forgot the whole part, but one of it says "I'm in love with you because I'm not obsessed with you." which is really, really interesting for me. Girls often mistaken obsession or for love ."Oh my goodness I love Justin! I love err-whoever-it-is-one-of-those-pretty-looking-lads! I love Harry!" (personally I love the Potter much more than the Styles, even though he's friggin fictive) anyway my point is, now look at yourself, ladies.
If you :
- think that your man has no flaws, no wrongs, anything.
- believe every single thing he said as if it were what the Bible said.
- call him more often than you sneeze in a day.
- fight damn hard to be close to him no matter how hard he tries to pull away.
... better start questioning then. Love doesn't mean keeping him all and whole only for yourself. It's not the same as worshipping, it's the thing you do in church/mosque/such. Seriously.
And another one. A friend rephrased a quote from This Means War (CMIIW, I haven't watched that as well) that was something like "When you have to choose between two, don't choose the one who just treats you better. Be with someone who makes you a better person." Meaning, if he treats you good doesn't mean that he's good for you. Are you still the same whiny, childish, selfish, pessimistic little lady just like before you met him? Then there's no point of you being with him. You don't just date him then walk together through the aisle to the altar. You walk together through each day, through each rough path and stony street. Will you make it all without you guys trying to improve each other and support each other's back?
You can listen to this, you can not. I'm not a love doctor, hell crap my love life might be even more futureless than yours. I might need more help than you do. I'm just saying things I wish I could do to fix my life, while hoping that it might help fixing yours at the same time.

Maine people voted for marriage equality over seventeen months ago and there’s no evidence that gay people getting married has caused any straight people’s marriages to fall apart.
My own marriage hasn’t suffered from my rabbi and her long-time partner getting married and I bet the other 299 or so people besides me who attended this loving couple’s ceremony haven’t had their relationships harmed either.
Even as the majority of Mainers and the country have moved to support marriage for all, Republicans have not.
Despite the many happy gay and lesbian couples marrying in Maine, the draft 2014 Maine GOP platform doesn’t accept marriage equality.
The draft platform reads:
Marriage is defined as the union of one man and one woman.
Oddly enough, this statement is part of a list that comes under a subheading reading:
The family is the foundation and strength of a stable society; therefore the government should not interfere, but rather support and protect the integrity and rights of the family.
It appears that, for the Maine GOP, “the integrity and rights of the family” doesn’t apply to families of gay and lesbian married couples, many of whom are raising children.
For the Maine GOP, those families don’t occupy the exalted position of serving as “the foundation and strength of a stable society.”
Ultimately, this means the Maine GOP sees those families and marriages as lesser.
There is absolutely no evidence that these families do a poorer job raising children. In fact, when overturning Michigan’s same-sex marriage ban, the federal judge said that research presented that purported to show that same-sex parents don’t do as well as straight parents was “entirely unbelievable and not worthy of serious consideration.”
With marriage equality having passed in the Pine Tree state, strong majorities of Mainers see no problem.
According to a November 2013 poll, “72% say gay marriage has had no impact on their lives, with 15% saying it’s had a positive impact on them and just 13% claiming it’s had a negative effect on them. Even among voters opposed to gay marriage in the state 70% acknowledge that it hasn’t actually had any ill effect on their lives.”
Since it’s highly unlikely that the state will ever turn around and limit same-sex couples’ marriage rights, the Maine GOP could just delete this issue from their platform.
But, with social conservatives a key element of their base, it seems like the institutional party is not ready to let the issue drop.

Our team at RHS offers helpful relaxation and stress reduction tips to assist you during treatment. Living the Fertile Lifestyle includes understanding the effects of stress on the body and its relationship to fertility. We believe the use of visual imagery and guided relaxation exercises can help you to learn how to relax and reverse the effects of stress.
Tips for Relaxation
- Don’t push yourself or your partner to socialize with friends or family that are pregnant or have small children.
- Don’t blame yourself or your spouse, or search for reasons why infertility happened to you.
- Give yourself permission to say “no,” without feeling guilty.
- Schedule frequent special nights out with your partner or a friend who you feel comfortable with.
- Take time off if your schedule is busy and do something special for yourself.
- Try to look at situations with a positive outlook rather than a negative one.
- Explain and educate family and friends about infertility or have someone do it for you.
- Practice relaxation techniques daily.
- Bring a portable CD or MP-3 player to aide in relaxation for treatment and procedures.
How to Reduce Stress During Infertility
- Give yourself and your spouse permission to have and express negative feelings
This includes such feelings as anger, sadness, envy and guilt. These are often not easy to tolerate in others or ourselves but are real and important feelings. Crying is a part of expression.
- Communicate your feelings to each other
This means talking about yourself and your partner. Because it is difficult and risky to do, it is tempting to avoid this, but avoidance tends to create hurt and misunderstanding, which can be more painful than facing difficult feelings.
- Respect each other’s differences
Every person’s coping style is individual. Do not judge yourself by your partner, because you are not the same.
- Recognize that you may get or give less if you are both stressed at the same time
Try to find other sources for getting needs met so as to increase your chances of getting what you need. This will help lessen guilt and anger when you can’t get or give what is needed to each other.
- Remember that you are partners who share the same dilemma
It is easy to focus anger on each other when no other target seems handy. At those times, it is important to try to remember that you are on the same side.
- Ask each other for what you want and need
Many people worry about burdening their spouses, which limits what they get and overlooks the possibility that their spouse could say “no” if necessary. The chances of getting what you want or need are greater when you ask, especially since no one can read minds.
- Don’t get polarized by extreme positions
People often have mixed feelings about things. If one spouse takes one position, it is easy for the other spouse to take the other position and never find a middle ground.
- Try not to protect each other
This often backfires in unexpected ways and can create more misunderstanding than it does good.

A friend recommended I rent a friend from Dukes of Daisy as I needed an active and adventurous companion to accompany me on a weekend away. Dreading the thought of going away with other friends on my own I decided to give it a go.
I chose Duncan aged 41 as he described himself as active, caring and similar interests to me and the kind of person I would like to spend time with.
I highly recommend Dukes of Daisy as the person Duncan turned out to be was the exact person described to me. There were no hidden agendas, no expectations so I felt relaxed from the outset. He was sociable, polite and the best thing about Duncan is that he really knows how to treat a lady and make her feel special. He was easy to talk to as he is well educated and knowledgeable of world affairs.
The next occasion was a wedding and I needed a partner, I didn’t hesitate to book Duncan again and to my delight he’s a great dancer so lots of fun was had by us.
I rent Duncan from Dukes of Daisy on a regular basis as I have got to know him and feel comfortable and confident with him to partner me to any function.

For example, psychologist Jennifer Taitz asks her love-obsessed clients to avoid giving in immediately to the urge to contact their love interest. She also advises them to consider what they really need. By doing so, they discover that their needs run much deeper than the affection of that particular person. They might really be looking for, say, a sense of self-worth.
상대에게 몰입하기 보다는 나에게 집중할 것, 내가 필요한 것이 무엇인지 생각할것.
하지만 이건 성향 아닐까. 낭만성을 추구하는 사람은 과몰입하고 거기에서 상처받는게 운명이지 않을까.
Romantic obsessions can make people so self-centered that they fail to see how damaging and intrusive their behavior becomes.
하지만 자신만의 낭만적 이상에 빠져 상대에게 상처주는 것은 주의해야지.
So, if you’re a parent, it’s important to recall that, for a teen, a crush is more helpful and healthy than a true romantic relationship.
그래 이 사람 저사람에게 빠져보는게 결국은 사람을 찾는 과정인것이야.
In fact, when our desire for love is frustrated, we respond through creativity. This makes sense, since acting creatively can actually feel a whole lot like being in love.
For instance, doing creative work and being in love affect our brains in an incredibly similar way that makes us feel great.
사랑에 빠지면 창의적이 된다는 것.
But, of course, fulfilled love can also distract someone from their creative work. Just consider all the time and energy a person in love spends with their lover that could be spent creating. In this sense, only an undesired woman is really free to follow her inspiration.
하지만 그 사랑에 익숙해 지고 나면 외로울때 창의적이고 생산적이었던 나를 떠올리지
