They’ve changed and they’re curious if you have.

If you have a good relationship, you won’t fight. You and your partner might be peas in a pod, but if you’re being honest with yourself, it’s unlikely that you’ll agree on everything.

When you just start dating someone it can feel amazing when they pull out all the stops in the beginning. They reek of charm. They shower you with affection and gifts.

We might unconsciously feel that by holding onto our negative feelings, somehow we’re magically introducing hope into a situation that feels hopeless.

Sometimes love cannot outlast the sense that one or both of you isn’t following your ideal life plan.

I started to wonder if I should even bother, after all, he had seemed so cold lately. I didn’t want to seem like I was the one who cared more… (stupid pride).

If you are staying for the dog, kids or because you don’t want to move, this is a strong signal that it’s time make a change.

Much has been written on how to get someone back, but often people don’t ask themselves the obvious question: “do I really want them back?”

When a guy is falling for you, the risk of losing you becomes more important than whatever else he has going on.

The answer is not so much that you have some kind of jerk magnet attached to your forehead, but more to do with self sabotaging feelings and beliefs you may be carrying around without realizing it.

Whether you should change to attract ‘The One’ depends on whether you’re living what you deem to be your best life.

Disagreements and arguments are a natural offshoot of simply trying to conduct your life with another person. “Going along to get along” causes more harm than good.
