Are you turned off when a partner takes behavioral meds?
If you're on antidepressants, chances are, the person you're dating will find out. (If they don't, then you're really good about keeping a secret, and maybe they should be worrying about something else.) Maybe it's not a big deal, and maybe your partner is even on medication. But for some women, this discovery can become a pivotal point in the relationship. As someone who has been on antidepressants for more than half of my life, I've dealt with this confrontation on several occasions. Some of the men I've dated have appeared to not care, or just didn't feel like delving … Read More
Does he have issues? How (and when) you'll find out.
I had dinner the other night with my friends Jane and Anne. We were talking about various guys and their issues. Jane said that a guy will tell you exactly what his issue is in the first three weeks of dating. You just have to be willing to listen. It's so true! Anne and I totally agreed.
I once went out with a guy who told me on our first date that he didn’t know what he was doing with his life (my response had been: "Who cares! Me, neither!"). He ended up moving away to coach football at another … Read More
Ted Kennedy's death got us thinking: Would you date someone with a serious skeleton in his closet?
Senator Ted Kennedy died last night, and today everyone is talking about his legacy—the good parts and the bad, which got us to thinking: Could an incident from someone's past make you unwilling to date them? Case in point: the Chappaquiddick incident.
A quick recap: on July 18, 1969, while driving home from a party Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge. He swam to safety, but his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, didn’t make it out of the car. Kennedy didn't report the incident until the next day, after a diver found her body still inside the vehicle.
Besides saying he panicked—Kennedy never … Read More
Is there a time in a relationship to divulge all of your secrets?
Our buddies Em & Lo (EmAndLo.com) have a great weekly column featuring dream interpretation. Even if you're not into dream interpretation, it's always worth a read. If you're like me, you rarely remember your dreams, so it's reading columns like this or watching The Cell. Anywhom, the dream read in question starts with an evil monkey (not dissimiliar to the one who lives in Chris Griffin's closet) and ends with secrets and lies. Very interesting read.

We know you want to, but in the long run it would be better if you just kept your mouth shut.
Over the past week, some high-profile celebrities have made waves by airing dirty laundry about their exes. First, there was Ben Affleck, talking to the press about how his career suffered as a result of his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, and how, while he was with her, he felt "suffocated, miserable and gross."
During the same twenty-four hour period, Katie "Jordan" Price gave a primetime television interview in which she spilled the beans about the stresses that led to her separation from Peter Andre and revealed the fact that she suffered a miscarriage just weeks before the two called … Read More
40 years later a retired church administrator comes clean about her White House romance with JFK.
If you haven't heard, Monica was not the first. A few years ago, a biography on John F. Kennedy was released that included mention of an 18-month-long affair between a White House intern, Mimi Beardsley Alford, and the president. At the time, New York's Daily News found the woman, Ms. Alford (known then as Marion Fahnestock), to be living in Manhattan and working on Fifth Avenue as a church administrator.
After Alford made a brief statement to confirm that she had in fact been engaged in a sexual relationship with Kennedy, there were no … Read More
LoveFeed reviews Joe Antol's article on YourTango that reveals the secrets to a happy marriage. They're not as complicated as you might think.
Reading his diary helped liberate me from our marriage—after he left.
Two weeks before my 40th birthday, my husband of five years told me he wanted to be with a woman he worked with at Citibank more than he wanted to be with me and our 14-month-old daughter.
I was nearly paralyzed with fear. How was I going to make it as a single parent? What was I going to do? I was becoming thinner by the minute. My size eight clothes hung off of me, but there was no one to care or tease me that there was finally room for my shirt and rear end to share a pair … Read More
