Sometimes, we simply have to guess at what our significant other is thinking, which can be particularly difficult at the start of a relationship when you're just getting to know each other.
Despite high divorce rates, long-term love is not a fairytale. According to a study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, 48 percent of the 274 married Americans surveyed said they were "very intensely in love" with their spouses. In New York state, however, the figures were drastically different...
Being in a serious relationship during college hasn't always felt like luxury, but it's always felt like love. I can't count the number of times our dates consisted of ordering in the cheapest, fattiest foods (Gumby's ring a bell?) or cramming in the library for two days straight with bag lunches. I know that someday I'll be able to look back on these cheap date memories of undergrad and know that I spent them with my best friend and my lovah! Talk about having your cake and eating it too.
Lila here~ A funny thing happens when you’ve been with the same person for a really long time. Even if you still like them a lot, you may find that you’re just not that into having sex with them… or so you think. Your libido may be waning, or there are too many other details on your mind between work and managing the home, or the kids are clamoring for attention; there are plenty of excuses not to hav
Hello, Im pretty sure that everyone has heard about the girl who falls in love with her best friend. I often look at other people situations to get a better understanding of my own. But i havn't seen anyone else situation that seems like mine. So i decided to post my own for advice that i really need.It started off as the first and biggest crush on a boy that i have ever had in the 7th grade ( and havn't til this day) i made the mistake and told some other girls that i like him and they for lack of a better word embarrassed me and him every chance they could. He shyed away from me. 8th grade the kids still picked on me and him because (I)liked him but towards the end of the school year he asked me to go with him... I was the happiest girl in the world. We had fun. School ended. During the summer before highschool we sorta lost contact. When we did speak it was short and dry convos.

According to new research, an excess of incorrectly-expressed support is worse for your marriage than neglect. Just what is the "right" type of support, though?
We love our partners. We really do. I mean, that's why we promised not to canoodle with anyone else while we seeing each other. (Talk about sacrifice.) But there's only so many nights we can stand hanging out with our "couple friends," sipping wine and sampling cheeses. We don't want to be one of those people who starts dating someone only to morph into a two-person unit, while our single friends disappear one by one. To fight off codependence, we've compiled a list of 20 things to do without your significant other. Things that will make you feel good and, most likely, improve your couple time, too.
OK...a guy I know since childhood has a girlfriend. He hasn't propsed yet, but he has bought the ring. The problem is that he has realized (after almost two years) that he loves her, but isn't in love with her. Even bigger than that: he thinks he still has feelings for his ex, who, by his own admission, wasn't good for him at all. I've tried telling him to let her go, since she is more committed to the relationship than he is. He won't, though, because he knows that she's a good woman. I've tried to point out how he's really not being fair to her, since he knows that he doesn't feel the same as she does, and he is hiding where his true feelings really lie. Still, no luck. What would you tell him?
It looks like Kelly Clarkson is making the rounds while promoting her new album All I Ever Wanted. In addition to mentioning that she has never been in love, the pop star also mentions that she'd like to remain childless. The original American Idol champion seems a little more interesting today than she did yesterday. And the kids really seem to dig "My Life Would Suck Without You."
Don't rush love! One man's opinion on why you should wait to commit. "As I see it, there should be no discussion of a relationship, or exclusivity, within the first three months of dating. Those three months should be a drama and ultimatum-free zone. No jealousy or commitment. Just a period of savoring; the gritty, totally worth it hard work can come later. Save it, potentially, for the rest of your life."
