Before You Have the Affair I Steve Wickham

Men have an affair to stay in a relationship, whilst women have an affair to leave a relationship; this is one idea that I've been pondering in recent months. I'm not sure if it's entirely true, but there is some truth to it.

I don't usually like to talk about affairs. It gives energy to something detestable, but the fact is infidelity happens. Having felt the sting of being cheated on many years ago, I know how much the trauma becomes part of your story. I sincerely hope I never ever fall into marital infidelity or feel its sting on the receiving side ever again. Of course, like anything, there is more wisdom in never discounting the possibility versus saying it will never happen to me.

This Ain't Love at All I Dr. Jeff Davis

These 3 words can mean so much to many people. They can make the heart flutter and cause a person to smile without know it. The 3 words that can change a life is "I love you".

Men and women say this to each other often when in a relationship. They help us to recall times when we felt love and knew we were loved. Those special moments like being propose to or hearing them for the first time from someone you really care about. Nothing else can really compare to that.

The Essence of Trust I Rosemarie Sumalinog Gonzales

Trust is hard to define, we do not realize when it's lost. When that happens, we pull back our vitality and level of commitment. We may not indicate it apparently, yet we are less inclined to tell face to face that we are vexed and share what is essential to us.

As a result, we pull back from that individual. This loss of trust can be cleared or to some degree covered up - particularly in the event that we profess to be available yet deep down we are disengage. And those people who have done something to lose our trust may not even know it. The essence of trust allows people to live and work together, feel safe and belong to a group. Trust enables associations and networks to thrive, while the absence of trust can cause division, strife and even war.

How To Keep Your Love Ship From Drowning! I Patricia A Gaines

Identity Theft is not always about our finances; it's about who we are and it's buried deep within our being. Recovering from the Identity Theft of a relationship gone wrong is almost as traumatic as a financial Identity Theft experience. Many times, people want to begin a relationship with finding their other half. How can we be only a half to anyone if we are not whole in our own right?

Couples who have emotional and spiritual differences in their Love Ship connection can sink to the bottomless pit of the ocean when the storm of life produces tsunami waves. The energy of these powerful waves can lead to lack of communication.

Sacrifice and Compromise in Marriage and Other Relationships I Larry Lynn

In any mutually agreed upon relationship, do the members lose individuality and freedom because of the necessity to compromise and sacrifice some aspect of themselves for the sake of the survival of the new relationship? Committing one's self to another partner requires that the lifestyles of each must be able to blend in such a way that neither partner feels the other one has invaded personal space reserved for the individual self. The younger the individuals the easier it will be for them to be willing to adapt to fit into the new mold. Older partners bring together their own established isms which may be difficult to modify or eradicate altogether.

Alone or With a Partner - Which Is Better? I Stephen Russell-Lacy

The United States Bureau of the Census says the fastest-growing household type since the 1980s has been the single person. The same is true in some other countries like the UK and Japan. A report says that sixty percent of people living in Stockholm live alone.

It raises the question of whether it is better to be single living alone or living together in a committed partnership?

The Right Relationship With The Wrong Person I Vance Larson

Have you ever given your best to a relationship and it never seems good enough for your partner? I see this at least once a week in my practice. He/she will come in and talk about how they feel drained from non stop giving, and never getting anything in return. To make matters worse, their social circle is all but non-existent now because they're trying to make their partner happy. I tell them that they're in the right relationship, just with the wrong person.

Inner Power: First Look Your Garden Before Looking Your Neighbor's I Carmelo Humphrey

If you often catch yourself suffering angst attacks because of things that you perceive as looking better in your neighbor's garden. Then, this message can have a thing or two for you.

This short but meaningful message... is a reflexion on something quite common in our lives. It's about the thousand times that we start looking outside for things that are just in front of our eyes.

But, hidden under the veil of familiarity, complacency, or simply spiritual blindness. Hope this last thing about "spiritual blindness" does not sound SPOOKY.

When You Have Feelings for a Girl - Don't Make This Mistake I Josh Manuel

How to Co-Parent Successfully With Your Ex After The Divorce

The most unfortunate side of divorce are those who never got a choice in the matter: the children. No one gets married with the idea in mind that eventually this will end, but sadly, it becomes the inevitable. For many couples, the follow up to a decision to divorce are the tough conversations that must be had with the children who have no idea that their lives are about to become interrupted and upended. In my case, the conversation I had with our son and my step-daughter is one of the worst I've ever had to have in my life. To top it all off - we had to communicate this decision to our children who were already dealing with the effects of our conflict. My ex and I no longer recognized each other and could barely stand to be in the same room with each other at the time.

Thinking of Divorcing Your Spouse? Save Your Marriage Today

There are questions you need to ask yourself when you notice an initial problem in your marriage. Are you unhappy in your marriage and if so, why? Is your spouse happy? Do you experience pain or joy in your marriage? Why are you not happy now after you got married? Why did the happiness before marriage succeeding disappear?
A lot of marriages were resolved after a series of questions the couples ask themselves. This is the time to think, discuss with your spouse solutions to problems in your relationship. The couples should realize that honesty plays a very important role in this regard.
The couples should know that marriage is an institution. It is designed by God to help and support each other through sadness and happiness.

With this determination, the Devil will find it difficult to penetrate into your marital affairs.

How To Heal Yourself & Begin To Move On From A Broken Relationship

Are you newly single? Have you just come out of a relationship or marriage? Failed relationships can be painful and challenging to overcome. While the most common solution is to rebound into another relationship, these relationships rarely survive beyond a few months. And even if they do, they mostly work more like a compromise. The best way out is to take advantage of your new relationship status by learning from the past and recreating your life. A breakup or divorce can be a positive experience if you choose to learn from it.

Learn from a failed relationship and prepare to receive your future partner:

What's the lesson? Every failed relationship provides at least one significant lesson. What was it? Relationships typically fail either due to errors in choosing a partner or errors in behavior. Reflect and see where "you" made a mistake and decide to do something better next time. If you have multiple failed relationships, check to see if there is a pattern you can identify common to all of them. If you can understand your contributions to the failed relationship, you'd be in a better position to attract the right person and make it work!

Does Divorce Mean I'm a Failure?

We regularly read that relationships are not easy. They require hard work to succeed, with long-timers frequently referencing their ups and downs with a wry smile. When we marry we make a commitment for better or for worse. So, where did the love go, what went wrong that resulted in us now being divorced? Should we have tried harder, made more of an effort? Does divorce mean I'm a failure?

We remember how way back in the day we loved each other. We couldn't envisage life without each other, planned our future together, discussed children, travel and old age, musing over the many future possibilities with laughter and affection.

Counselling Can Help You Post-Divorce

Many people feel the need for time to heal and grieve after a divorce. Even if the process was fairly amicable or initiated by them it's often important to recover from the distress and upheaval and take time to reflect on what went wrong. Gradually, valuable lessons are often learned. Counselling can help you post-divorce by providing an effective way to focus on the issues that often surface at this time.

Post-divorce we may say, we're fine, we've got good friends, are perhaps seeing someone new, have an excellent circle of people ready to support us, are busy with children or work, but treating the aftermath of divorce as a time for healing can help us grow from the experience and avoid repeating negative patterns in the future. Friends may be biased, not as neutral in their opinions as we would like and anyway, it can become repetitive and unhelpful to spend hours with friends going over old ground, dissecting old scenarios.
