		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever asked someone about their relationship and all they can respond with is &#8220;It&#8217;s complicated&#8221;? Have you ever seen someone list their relationship status as &#8220;It&#8217;s complicated&#8221;? I guess saying it is complicated sounds better than saying it is dysfunctional, but the truth is the truth. The simple, UN-complicated fact is, your relationship most likely should end, and you know it. All relationships are complex, but quite often we make them more complicated than they really are. Occam&#8217;s razor is a line of reasoning that the simplest answer is most likely the correct one. This line of reasoning is used by police to solve crimes, doctors to diagnose illnesses, etc. It would be great if people used this same line of reasoning to simplify their relationships, instead of making them more complicated. Let&#8217;s looks at some scenarios for &#8220;complicated relationships&#8221; and cut through the bull*hit once and for all: 1. If you are married but in the process of getting a divorce, just put divorced instead of the dramatic label of &#8220;it&#8217;s complicated&#8221;. If anyone really needs to know the details, they already know, or you can tell them personally. People that are working on their marriage, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was listening to a woman tell a story about this guy who pursued her, told her he was over his ex, and had a relationship with her. They had a lot of fun, had great talks, opened up about their feelings and were very compatible. Suddenly he began to act weird &#8211; distant, quiet, and pulled away. She called him on it and he said that a few weeks ago his ex had contacted him and they began talking and now he is confused about his feelings. He said he didn&#8217;t want to lose her he just needs some time to get his head on straight. It goes without saying this woman is upset and hopes it will turn out in her favor. After all, he told her when they first met he would never get back with his ex. He said many times that he had closure on the past relationship and was ready to move forward with her, not go backward with the ex. He told her he and the ex tried so many times but the relationship was irreparable. Cut to the chase &#8211; he went back to his ex. This woman then went on to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine had a boyfriend who recently broke up with her. He is now seeing another woman (at least one she knows of) but he keeps calling her to chat as if they are friends. She has told him this is hard for her to do, that she cannot be friends, but he keeps telling her he doesn&#8217;t want to lose her. Well, I want to go to Chanel and grab a bunch of stuff and not pay for it. Not going to happen. If this guy really doesn&#8217;t want to lose her, why did he dump her? Why is he doing everything he can to lose her? When men do not want to make a commitment or decide they want to see other people they let you go and end the relationship. Very often they will turn around and insist on maintaining a friendship with you because they don&#8217;t want to lose you. This is their way of keeping you on a hook, making it difficult for you to move on and get closure. They may want sex with no commitment, they may want you as someone to fall back on if their new prospects don&#8217;t work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you first started dating your guy, he swore he was over her and would rather chew off his own foot than get back together. He told you negative things about her that made her out to be some swamp creature. As a matter of fact, he never seemed to have anything good to say about her. He may have told you all kinds of horror stories and admitted his friends and family will kill him if he ever got back together with his ex. Well, he should be a dead man any second now because he did. You just can&#8217;t believe it! You are devastated and can&#8217;t believe he gave her another chance. Did he tell you they had gotten broken up and gotten back together several times before? If he did, that was your first red flag. Couples that keep going back to one another, even though they swore that was the last time quite often repeat this pattern for years. It is always a good idea to ask how many times the couple has gone back and forth before you give him a shot. If he tells you more than 2 and that it has gone on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last time you ad your guy got together  you had a fabulous time, or so you thought.  Now you have not heard from him. At first you think he must be busy with work or something, but then your insecurities start to fester and you ask yourself &#8220;Why is he ignoring me?&#8221; You wait to see if he will call you. He doesn&#8217;t. Then you decide you cannot take it anymore and call him. He doesn&#8217;t answer so you leave a message. Two days go by and he has not returned you call. Now you are fuming pissed. How dare he ignore you like this!! Instead of getting mad at him and deciding to dump his ass you are too busy wondering why he is ignoring you. Is because he wants to dump you? Forget about why he is ignoring you. There is no reason or explanation good enough for it. If he was a decent guy he wouldn&#8217;t ignore you.  If he did want to end things he could have been man enough to tell you, rather than blank you and leave you wondering &#8220;what the hell happened here?&#8221; Who wants a guy that ignores them? You shouldn&#8217;t. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people use the terms &#8220;settling down&#8221; and &#8220;settling&#8221; as if they are inter-changeable, when in actuality, they are completely different things. What is the difference between the two? Well, when you settle down it is usually because you have found something that made you happy. You stop searching for it, because you found it. Your behavior and lifestyle changes but you are happy to do it because of the payoff. Settling, however, is the complete opposite. Settling is usually done when someone no longer believes they can achieve a goal or find what they have been looking for. They then settle for less. It is never more, or just enough, settling is always for less. When people settle down, they are often content and made their choices to do so because whatever sacrifices made it all seems worth it to them. When people settle, it is usually when they have given up and feel like something is better than nothing. People who settle down have a much better chance at being happy down the road, whereas people who have settled don&#8217;t. People who have settled are never satisfied because they did not get what they wanted. In relationships, when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why are people surprised that someone that lied to them before, lied to them again? In some ways, we all lie. When someone asks us how we are, instead of pouring out our problems, we simply say &#8220;I&#8217;m fine&#8221;. Those are not the kind of lies we are talking about. We are discussing serious lies, such as: 1. Cheating, affairs, and all the lies that come with them. 2. Financial lies. Spending large sums of money without tell you, or keeping your mutual finances a secret. 3. Telling you they are single or seeing no one else when they are not. 4. Blaming their ex&#8217;s for the reasons their relationships did not last, making up stories to appear sympathetic or the victim and not telling you their part in what went wrong. Throwing you under the bus to their people when they don&#8217;t admit what they did wrong, and make you out to be the bad guy. 5. Going to places like strip clubs where they swore to you they would not go, watching way too much porn online and keeping it a major secret. When lies like these come to the surface, people&#8217;s reactions are that of shock and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most devastating things to hear is when the person you love tells you they love you, but are not in love with you. You may feel completely blindsided, as quite often this happens with no warning. But even if you have been going through some tough times you did not think it would make them fall out of love with you. You walk around in a daze and feel your world has been rocked to it&#8217;s core. Now what? What do you do? Not only do you have to deal with your feelings, but you are worried about their feelings. (Or lack thereof). You want answers, reasons, and you want to know if their feelings will return. The problem is that you have no control over the situation. It is entirely up to them if they want to give your relationship a chance or let it go. That is very hard for people to deal with, the uncertainty of it all. The first steps should be to have a talk about the here and now. Ask them if they want to go to counseling, if they want to work it out, and what they would like you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think of your relationship as a living thing. In the beginning you gave it everything it needed, food, water, attention, and a place to live and grow. Now that time has passed, are you giving your relationship what it needs to survive and stay alive? Just because we are in a relationship does not mean we no longer have to care for it. if we don&#8217;t, it can simply die. What can you do to keep your relationship alive? 1. Don&#8217;t sweat the small stuff. After all, in the grand scheme of things it really is small stuff. Who cares if he left his socks on the floor? Sure, remind him again to pick them up, but is that really worthy of an argument and hostility? Why not remind yourself that the same guy who left the socks on the floor is the same guy who held your hand while you were afraid to keep you calm. 2. Have time set aside for the two of you to act like a couple. It is hard, with all the things we have to do and our hectic lives to find time, but it is important to find that time. No one [...]]]></description>
