… Give you "the silent treatment" and/or tell you to "figure out" why they are mad and what to "figure out" what YOU did wrong.
… Strand you somewhere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Women want to know WHY their boyfriend or husband treats them badly. What could a good reason possibly be? Is there one? Why isn't the answer obvious?  It's really not that difficult to figure out. How many people do you love and respect that you treat like shit 90% of the time? None?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Con artists know that to be effective they have to hide their past. They are smart enough to know that if they come across as "loners", this may raise a red flag with their next victim. They will often go into great detail describing their friends,  family members, co-workers, and experiences they had together. In a way, this makes them (the friends and family) "witnesses" to the lies they are telling you, and give the victim of the con artist a false sense of security. They wouldn't lie about their experiences or who they are if you can easily verify their lie by speaking with their friends and family and associates, right? Wrong. You will NEVER meet these people!  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We all want an apology. We want to know the person that hurt us is sorry, and won't ever do it again. We want them to know how much we hurt and that they never want to make us feel that pain again. Words won't always do the trick, quite often we need to see remorse through the person’s actions and behavior. Forgiveness is not always immediate. Many times we need time to nurse our wounds to optimize healing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If a politician lies to his wife and family, who he loves and cares about, how are we supposed to trust him? If he cares so little about his office and reputation that he will risk scandal for an affair, how can we believe he is taking his position in office seriously? A woman on a talk show said that one of the politicians had a marriage in trouble, and implied that what he was doing wasn't so bad because of the condition of his marriage.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of a relationship we are getting to know the person, to decide if this is someone is right for us, and to see if we are a good match. If one of your pet peeves is tardiness, why are you giving the perpetually late guy a shot? If one of your top needs in a relationship is to spend a lot of time with the man, they why are you giving the workaholic the time of day?]]></description>
