PLEASE DON’T LEAVE
It is a sad fact that relationships end. Sometimes with no obvious warning and sometimes with lots of break-up/get-back-together phases. Losing an individual who’s been very important in your life can be tremendously painful.

BLENDING FAMILIES

YOU DON’T GET TO TELL YOUR EX
Divorce is tough on kids, but parents who are divorcing get a real shock, too. While you might not think about this while you’re dealing with property settlements and child support, you need to realize that co-parenting with a divorced parent isn’t the same as co-parenting with a mate with whom you’re still involved. The […]
RELATIONSHIP POISON
If you want to kill your relationship, never resolve conflicts. When you argue, make sure you repeat your points over and over and never listen to his. When he’s talking, be thinking about what you have to say next. Get mad when he yells, and make sure you don’t hear what he’s trying to say. […]
YOU CAN’T MAKE IT WORK
It takes two people to make a relationship work, but only one to walk away. This might not seem fair when your heart and your life are on the line, but she doesn’t have to stay. Sometimes people leave, even when you’re trying your hardest. You may turn yourself inside out to keep her happy, […]
