		<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[Since the New Year is coming up, we decided to write a few resolutions for your relationship that can only make for a better, happier New Year and happier YOU. 1. Leave the games to the professional sports players and keep them out of your relationship. Don&#8217;t play them, and stop being played by game players. 2. Let go of a relationship that did not work out. Stop comparing your current (or future) relationship to an old one. Stop letting your fixation on an old relationship prevent you from getting into a new one. Let the past stay in the past where it belongs. 3. Allow your partner, and yourself, the freedom to be yourselves. You do not have to like the all of the same things. Everyone has a habit that can be annoying. That should be ok with us, and our partner, because perfection is an unobtainable goal that keeps us from appreciating the good person we were lucky enough to find. 4. Stop using the same tactics to fix the same problems. If those tactics didn&#8217;t work the first hundred times you tried them, come up with a new plan. If you do not, change will not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When couples break up, the questions we are asked the most is: 1. Can I get him back? 2. Will I get him back? 3. Should I get him back? The first thing you have to look at, before you even think about getting back together, is why you broke up in the first place. If you have broken up several times already, and have always gotten back together, chances are you are in an on/off relationship and will get back together again. However, instead of worrying if you will reunite, you need to focus on why you are in an on/off relationship. An on/off relationship is one where most people are not aware they are even in a relationship. The couple breaks up numerous times and gets back together. For one, it is a game, and they know they will get back together. The other thinks the &#8220;break ups&#8221; are real and goes through emotional hell each time. These relationships get worse over time, never get the chance to grow, and inevitably will end. Focus on how to change your relationship from an on/off relationship first before you even think of getting back together, since you will only repeat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look at all the things you do for your significant other. Look at the way you treat them, speak to them, and all the ways you show them you love them. You clearly show them what you they are worth to you, but now look at how much they value you. Look at how much they seem to value you, and could it be that you set your price too low? No one should be so high maintenance that no one can really &#8220;afford&#8221; them, but the price they pay to have your in their lives and get all you have to offer should not be too low either. Have they put you in the bargain bin, or have you done that to yourself? If you constantly do for others, yet they won&#8217;t lift a finger when you ask for help, then they do not value what you do for them. If they did, they would &#8220;pay you back&#8221;. If they take for granted all that you do, it has no value to them. If they feel entitled to take from you and not be appreciative of it, what you are giving really has no value either. If they keep [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Adult relationships are the most healthy, happy, and have the most longevity. Childish, immature relationships having Drama Queens and Drama Kings, are dysfunctional and will bring more misery than happiness. You may think you have found true love or real love, but if childishness and immaturity plays a big part in your relationship, you are in danger of losing the relationship because it is going to crash and burn. As an adult, in order to communicate properly you have to both listen attentively and know how to speak without resorting to snark, sarcasm, accusations, nagging, and other traits that make someone tune you out. Giving a child a time-out is one thing, but your relationship is NOT a child. Resorting to childish behavior, such as giving the silent treatment for days on end is destructive, not constructive. It is one thing to leave to calm down and return with a cool head but if it takes you days to calm down, you are again behaving like a baby (especially if the issue was no big deal) and causing damage. Without a lot of effort on your part, the damage can be irreparable. So why do it? Why do people act [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a break-up most of you wonder if you will speak with or see your ex again. You wonder what he is doing and want to know what he is up to. You want to know if he misses you, thinks about you, or wants to get back together with you. You think he has not contacted you because he is already involved with someone new. Instead of coming right out and asking him these questions, many people make up excuses to contact an ex. If your ex has passed the third grade he should be able to see right through your lame excuse to initiate communication with him. Sure, you want to hear his voice and find out information about what is going on in his life, but what you really want you won&#8217;t get, because you are not upfront with him about the reasons you are calling him. On the other hand, your ex may be contacting you with lame excuses. What do you think he really wants? He does not really need to know if you got your brakes changed, found their pair of old socks, or had a good weekend. Obviously he does not have closure [...]]]></description>

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[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[Many couples take breaks from their relationships but more times than not, the &#8220;break&#8221; becomes a break up. But does &#8220;taking a break&#8221; always lead to a break up? First let&#8217;s look at the common reasons couples decide to take a break in their relationship: 1. They have a huge blow up and need some space to cool down. These &#8220;breaks&#8221; are usually just for the couple to clear their minds and keep things from escalating. They are usually short-lived. 2. Sometimes people do not want to deal with their partner&#8217;s reaction to a break-up, so instead they slowly pull away.
