Divorce Usually Isn't A Surprise [EXPERT]

Divorce Usually Isn't A Surprise [EXPERT]

Men often cry foul play over divorce, feeling they were blindsided~but women feel empowered by it.

Divorce is always good for women, if not right away, then eventually. I say this because women typically do not divorce on a whim, they do so after years sacrificing their wants and needs for the benefit of others, until they finally learn that unhappiness is not par for the course. Women take unhappiness more seriously than men because unhappiness takes a bigger toll on us.

What did you tell your children about Rihanna being friendly with Chris Brown again?

When Chris Brown smashed Rihanna's face up and bit her, there should have been no question about what a child learned from their parent. If you didn't reveal your opinion about her return, your silence is sending a message of acceptance. You have to come down heavy on violence against women being wrong and back it up with supporting actions — like telling your kids no buying Brown's music.

What Is Our Greatest Addiction? [EXPERT]

What Is Our Greatest Addiction? [EXPERT]

Sexual addiction can be a double edged sword—a mask to deeper issues or a way to deeper intimacy.

I don’t have an addictive personality. I’ve dabbled in just about everything. I’ve smoked, gambled, tried any number of substances, but I’ve never been hooked on any of them so badly that I couldn’t stop. I consider myself fortunate. But there is one thing that is a total contradiction to what I have just professed. Sex!

3 Things To Do When He's Emotionally Distant [EXPERT]

Why do we sometimes hold on so tightly to something that isn’t working for us? To someone that isn’t treating us the way we deserve to be treated? Isn’t loving us the way we were meant to be loved? You know the scenario – it starts off with fireworks, an amazing connection, you just can’t get enough of each other.

Are You Pushing Love Away Because You Want It Too Much?

Are You Pushing Love Away Because You Want It Too Much?

How can you tell me I am pushing love away, when I’ve been searching for it for years?

At one of my workshops I asked my audience why, in their opinion, they hadn’t been able to attract their ideal life partner. One woman raised her hand and said: Because I want it too much. We all have a sense that when we want something too much, we never get it. Because when we want something too much – we suffer because we don’t have it yet. And from a place of suffering it is impossible to create anything healthy or positive.
