Hearing stories like that just makes me mad! Why should his date be more important than hers?
Doesn't it just bug you when grown men act like they're the children?
Something that happens to me is I make plans with friends, and they have babysitter arrangements but when we meet, they have the...
Monica,
Unless you have good cause to believe something is seriously and specifically wrong, my advice is for you to just relax a bit.
When I hit the "pulling away" phase, I panicked. My insecurity went into overdrive and everything he said or did or did not say or do seemed to have some mys...
Wow! I can honestly say I've never thought of that. And that deserves a big DUH for me.
I mean I know a woman with a baby is nearly impossible to make plans with, and rightfully so :) But I never thought she may have just wanted to cling to her routines with her man the way I was. In my mind, som...
Hi, Sue.
Yikes! That's a tough one. I once found some old condoms that were in the pocket of a suitcase my bf used years before we started dating. Luckily, the condoms were expired, meaning they'd been there a while.
But in your case, I just don't believe what he's telling you. Who doesn't e...
Yeah! I hear you on the first issue.
Somewhere between my 20s and 30s, I went from being the girl in a relationship, who never went out clubbing with the girls, to being the only one who isn't married with kids.
Now I feel like the only one left who isn't completely overwhelmed by motherhood...
Thanks SZ!!
I'm going to try both of those things this week. The nature idea is a good one. Taking a mid-day walk is a good way to refocus my mind off my dumb problems, most of which are usually completely resolved within a few days anyway, and onto something more lasting and life-affirming!
I seriously remember a point in my relationship (maybe 9 months in) where it seemed every new day brought another discovery about my bf that I did not like. It was the total opposite of the honeymoon phase!!
I guess it's just part of the learning process.
I hear you...at any age, good men are hard to find! And when you get one, you still wonder if he's one of the good ones. :)
Try to visualize the man you want. Be specific! Then keep picturing how it feels to be with this person, think about what he does for you, what qualities of yours he admires...
I'll start....
Things that I have done that knowingly or unknowingly prevented female friendships:
1. Assuming the other girl is too cool, stylish, smart or busy to want to hang out with me.
2. Not liking phone conversation- I really hate talking on the phone and have missed out on some frien...
You know what I've found helpful, bluebunny? Committing myself to something up front, in advance, so I am obligated to follow through.
It's like weight loss. I can say "Oh, I'm going to go to the gym more and eat better." That's fine. But that's not a promise and it doesn't directly net any resu...
