Friendship: Dealing with Guilt Trips and Silent Treatment

Friendship: Dealing with Guilt Trips and Silent Treatment

August 31, 2010 2 Comments

No one enjoys being the friend who “did wrong” or “messed up”. In the same, no one enjoys being the one to confront the friend who “did wrong” or “messed up”. Guilt, aggravation and precious moments can be spent figuring out what the politically correct or cordial thing would be to say to that person, ...

Intimacy: Listen When Listening is Needed

Intimacy: Listen When Listening is Needed

August 30, 2010 8 Comments

I have always thought that a fulfilling relationship meant that each person’s needs were 100% met by the other and that if that person was not able to do things to your liking than you should kick them to the curb. That may very well work with red flag  issues, but think about it, we are taught ...

True or False: Never believe anything your lover says in the first month of a relationship

True or False: Never believe anything your lover says in the first month of a relationship

I’ve been gushing over my new literary discovery , a book called, “Modern Mantras”. It’s a collection of just what the title implies- mantras. A mantras is a syllable, word, or phrase that is repeated in a chant-like fashion, either aloud or silently in your head. The sounds of ancient mantras are said to contain ...

Myth: A Woman’s Life is Love, a Man’s Love is Life?

I’ve always felt relatively left out of a specific portion of girl-only conversations. Not the sex part, not the shopping part, and definitely not the who’s-the-finest-athlete part, but the boyfriend part. I’m currently in a relationship, but unless I’m prodded or specifically asked how “we” are doing, I’m probably going to keep the conversation focused ...

Myth: All Women Are Crazy

I can not tell you how many times I’ve heard men saying that they just got through with, are entangled with, or entrapped by a crazy female. Nine times out of ten the man divulging this information to me is fed up with certain behaviors exhibited by the woman and has not taken the time to understand ...

Lovely Ladylike Lumps: Rough Sex, Relationships and Embracing Your Feminine Side

So, I’ve been thinking about the difference between sex with someone you care about and sex with casual partners. To someone with an aggressive and more outgoing personality this probably isn’t an issue. In theory, they lay down the laws of the linens and get what it is they seek or quickly replace their partner ...

I remember when I was a little girl, clamming up whenever someone said something to me that a) hurt my feelings or b) I didn’t agree with. I wasn’t the bratty, brazen, and slightly mental Goddess that I am today, well maybe I was, but it was bottled up inside me and sealed with a ...

Ambition: Can You Handle It?

June 15, 2010 13 Comments

I’ve learned to look at problems in my life a little different than I had been doing before. When faced with a conflict or just things not going my way I tend to point fingers and back the person or situation against the wall. As a result, solutions tend to be in black and white, ...
