Saving Your Long Distance Relationship
On June 9, 2018, I recently started my first relationship in my life. It was one of those happiest moments of my life that I will never forget and that I will always cherish within my heart, even though it was a long distance relationship. Basically, I met my partner online, and we were both just thinking about becoming friends, nothing else. However, there was this time when I realized how lovely, caring, and happy she was when I was chatting with her, and I couldn't just stay in silence until I decided to declare my love to her. Because of my declaration of my love to her, we began our relationship, even though we were like 7500 miles away from each other (it was from the USA to the Philippines if you're curious about this distance).

What Do You Do if They Aren't Calling (or Texting)?
We've all been there. You had a first date with someone and it exceeded all of your expectations. You may have even slept together, which was just the cherry on top. The next day there's still a leftover high of the night before, but what do you do when they aren't phoning back? You can't stop playing the night on repeat in your head, wondering what you did wrong. Here are some tips to get out of that grey area with that 10/10 date you just had:

It's something no one wants, even if you are one. To be cheated on is the ultimate trust breaker in a relationship. So how do we avoid that person, that situation? Well, this is the way I have found cheating to be. You either are one at heart, or you put yourself in bad situations that can be avoided.
Ashly ArbesPublished 6 years ago in HumansSigns You're in an Emotionally Abusive Relationship
I would like to give some background about myself before I start this. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for nine months. He would constantly try to control me, and when I was in the psychiatric unit, he would leave messages on my phone saying that if I didn't respond, he said that that would be the same as breaking up with him. He seemed like such a nice guy. It was months after he left me for me to realize that he was emotionally abusing me for almost the entire time I was with him. They are harmless, charming, sweet, and trustworthy, but that's not always the case. Here are some signs that you may be in one, too.

Nothing pains me more than seeing someone in an abusive relationship. Physical or otherwise. But the absolute worst is seeing someone otherwise innocent sell themselves short and date somebody of no character at all. (Mostly, because you can’t call the cops on an a**hole, just for being an a**hole).

Sometimes, when I hear about other people’s relationships, I cringe. I haven’t been in that many relationships, but I’ve always had a sense of how you should a treat one. I’ve heard so many people talk about their relationships and think, “That… can’t be healthy… can it?” Even when I was little, I would hear people bashing their significant others and be confused. “If you don’t even like them… then why are you together?” In today’s world, society makes it okay, even encouraged, to drag your partner through the mud.

Long distance relationships are not for everyone. However, most people don’t end up in long distance relationships by choice. Whatever the circumstances may be—whether your family moves, you leave for school, or a job takes you away from your significant other—there are many lessons you can learn from a long distance relationship that will be beneficial to you for the rest of your life. Long distance relationships teach you to appreciate the time together that most others get every day and may not value so much. This distance puts things in perspective and makes you evaluate who you are as an individual. While the lessons you learn from long distance relationships may not be easy, they are invaluable to your character. Here are some things a long distance relationship teaches.
Morgan E. WestlingPublished 6 years ago in HumansDo’s and Don’t’s for a Happy, Healthy Relationship
I’m not here to pretend that I’m a relationship expert, not even close. But at age 30, I have had to navigate my way through a series of not nice boyfriends, some abusive (mentally and physically), drug addicts, mama's boys, commitment phobes, total fuckwits, ghosters, alcoholics, and sex addicts, to name a few, and I’ve managed to wind up in a long term, stable, happy relationship with someone I love more than anything, but in a totally calm and non-obsessive way. Someone I want, but don’t need. Someone that I can share anything and everything with and not be afraid they will leave. Someone that lives with me and puts up with my mess, my quirks, my anxiety and my past…. however present it sometimes likes to be… and someone that I am expecting my first child with, and hopefully…. hint hint Tony… a ring at some point?
Samantha BentleyPublished 6 years ago in Humans5 Types of Men Every Woman Should Avoid
Every woman at some point in their life has desired the perfect relationship. We have all allowed the idea of that "fairytale" kind of love to occupy our minds while knowing that it doesn't really exist. The reality, however, is that there are many men out there who are selling the idea of a fairytale, leading you to believe that you've met the man of your dreams. Dreams turn into nightmares and once everything has come to an abrupt end, the "How could I have let this happen?" speech comes into play, racking our brains over and over again.
Kelle SallePublished 6 years ago in Humans7 Tips for Getting Over a Breakup
Breaking up sucks. Whether it was your choice or not, it's never a good time. Suddenly your life changes and in many ways it can feel empty; that person you talked to every single day is no longer there, they no longer text, and those things you would have always told them first suddenly have to be directed elsewhere or forgotten. So here are a few tips to help you keep going and to move on.
