All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
My Coworker Took Pictures of Men Without Their Permission
When I started a new job, I was surprised to see a former coworker at orientation. I'd gotten along with her well enough that I was excited to be working with her again, but that excitement soon disappeared. Working with her was different this time. She began demanding that I take the shifts she couldn't work and refusing to do the same for me. She was also leaving her work behind for me, and she spammed my phone with Facebook messages when she couldn't contact someone in HR.
Ghosting, Ghosted, Gone: Is Ghosting Someone Really So Bad?
I remember the first time I read about ghosting, as related to dating, it was one of these deep think pieces about how emotionally cruel and damaging it is. I paused as I realized "Uh oh, am I the baddie?".
Steffany RitchiePublished 2 years ago in HumansF%cking Good Men
I was having a conversation with a friend recently about the fact that when healing from abusive relationships you often confuse good people and bad people. You think that poeple who are nice to you have an ulterior motive and are simply trying to hurt you. Why? Because that's what you fell for, you fell for the nice person, the one who made you feel like you could trust them with everything and anything. The one who treated you so well you thought you were on cloud nine. However this person painted you a blue sky and then went back and it turned it grey. You lived in this persons chess game with the rules changing on the daily. So that's why now when you meet a nice person you automatically push them away by acting absolutley horrendous so that they don't like you. You push them away before giving them a chance to even care about you in the slightest. You act like a child around them so they do in fact think your immature and don't want to associate with you. Sound familiar? If it does keep reading! Do you now feel like a child? Do you now feel abosolutely stupid when talking to people? If so that's because you were probably made to feel or treated like a child by your ex. They made you so broken that you almost relied on them to raise you in a way. They made you feel like you had no voice or autonomy. The battle to get that back is exhausting. It's difficult and probably the most terrifying thing you'll ever do. I can say this because I'm currently in that stage myself. I'm currently in the stage where I'm trying to build myself up and feel confident again. It's exhausting. It's also terrifying because I still have voices in my head telling me I don't deserve to heal and I don't deserve to find actual healthy love. I don't deserve to feel safe with someone. But I f*cking do. I do deserve all of that. At least I think I do. Can anyone relate to this? I hope so! I hope my stories resonate with people. I share my story to educate and hopefully help others. I don't do it for attention or anything like that. I hope that one day I find a good person. A person who isn't going to hurt me and actually cares. I don't know if I will ever find such a person but I hope I do. I hope that anyone whose been through the same things as I have, will find their happy ending as well. I hope that you find someone who values you and loves you for you. No matter what. I can only hope. While it may be difficult to know who's a good person or not. I can only hope that the right person will make it easy for you to know. See in my mind you won't have to question it with the right person, you'll just know. You'll know that you can trust them and you can go to bed feeling safe. You can feel safe introducing them to your family and they won't have concerns either. And you won't have that feeling that it's to good t0 be true. The right person will love you correctly and respect all your boundaries and understand why you have them. They'll not only respect your triggers but make sure not to do them. And they'll do all these things because they not only want to, but because they love you.

We’re in the 21st century, and more than 159 million adults in America live alone. As a result, long-distance romantic relationships are becoming more commonplace. No longer are we bound by the traditional rules of relationships. Instead, we’re now allowed to date whomever we want, whenever we want.

The majority of relationships are based on love and commitment, where couples actually want to be together and really do love one another. These are the kinds of relationships that everyone desires to have, men and women both. However, there are many other couples that are together, not because of love, but because of fear or what they believe is love. These are called toxic relationships and any couple who has a relationship like this need to be away from each other. Why are toxic relationships so bad for each person in the relationship?
Chills at the Fireplace!
The night was late and dinner was missed, thanks to over extending projects that tested the team beyond the limits. The rain started to live up to its great Northwest pride of the needle city, knowing not to eat this late, but the local pub was calling my stomach to a late night snack.
Jay LeTron DobbinsPublished 2 years ago in HumansHave you ever fallen in love with the same person twice?
I had to decide if I wanted to post this without boring you. Figured out the best way to post my happiness is to talk about what I learned after 14 years of marriage. It feels as if we have turned back the clocks on our marriage and started all over again. The butterflies even came back to my stomach just like I use to. Let me explain how I got to this point after 14 years. It did not come without its trials and tribulations like any marriage, but much less than most marriages.

If you are an experienced traveler, common tourist destinations are not your niche. Beaches, waterfalls, islands, and villas that are already known by the majority don't excite you anymore. You want to discover some of the hidden gems of a particular province. An area that only a few have visited. Something secluded and... romantic.
