		<description><![CDATA[Signs of Dysfunctional Relationships vs Functional Ones It would surprise many people to learn that they are in a dysfunctional relationship. Most people think their relationship may have a few problems or issues, but the truth is that their relationship is a dysfunctional one. It&#8217;s not complicated, as many like to say, it&#8217;s dysfunctional. So how can you tell if your relationship is dysfunctional, or functional? Here are some signs that your relationship is dysfunctional. 1. Your relationship status changes at the drop of a hat. You break up, get back together, break up again, and get back together again. No one takes your break ups seriously anymore because they happen so frequently. On/off relationships are dysfunctional, and the relationship is no longer sacred because it can be called off at any time. The relationship never matures and evolves,problems are never resolved, and the pattern continues. 2. Too much drama. Everyone has relationship drama now and then. Dysfunctional relationships have drama all the time, and for any little reason or no reason at all. This is unhealthy, and destructive. 3. Disappearing. If you or the one you are in a relationship with goes MIA without warning and for no good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Relationships Require Communication Not Texting Relationships require real communication, and texting just is not enough. If you are in the library, the movie theater, or in the presence of the police while being questioned, then text away. When you cannot or should not talk, text. Does everyone realize that most of the time they can talk? Then why is texting becoming a main part of a couples interaction? Texting is not really communication. If you don&#8217;t believe that, show me a couple that only communicates through instant message. Same shit. Texting should only happen if you can&#8217;t make a phone call or you know the person cannot take your phone call. But again, that is not very often. Aren&#8217;t you worth a phone call rather than a lousy text? Don&#8217;t you think you should hear each others voice, tone of voice, and develop a rapport? Texting should not take the place of calling, it should be used sparingly. You want to just say hi or tell someone to have a good day? CALL THEM. Don&#8217;t text them. Too many things can be misunderstood with the written word, and texting has no real etiquette norms yet. You end a call with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before you let your heart invest in a relationship, you need to make sure the man you choose in emotionally available. Here are some signs of an emotionally unavailable man so you can spot one quickly, before you are in too deep: 1. If he has a girlfriend or wife. If he has not divorced the wife and broken up with the girlfriend, he is emotionally unavailable to you. No ifs, ands or buts about it. If he is separated from his wife or broken-up with the girlfriend, but they still live together for ANY REASON AT ALL, he is emotionally unavailable and off-limits to your heart. 2. Communication &#8211; If he is hard to reach and disappears for days/weeks/months without warning (or explanation) then he is emotionally unavailable. If he wanted to get closer to you, he would keep your communication steady and reliable. You would talk about deeper things than sex, the weather and your jobs. He would use that communication to learn more about you and give you the chance to learn more about him. If trying to get him to talk is like pulling teeth, he is emotionally unavailable. If he is constantly unavailable when you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of our female clients have asked us why men withdraw. Actually, many women wonder why men withdraw, and here are some reasons why: 1. When a couple first meets and feels an overwhelming connection or chemistry, a tendency to want to be with this person 24/7 is commonplace. You are thrilled that he contacts you several times a day and wants to see you all the time. You begin to think you have found something really special. He seems so attentive and interested in everything about you and about your life. Then, suddenly, the does a 360. What happened? Why did he withdraw like this? Did you do something? Did his feelings change? Not necessarily. When a couple first meets, a man may come on very strong to show you how much he likes you. He is also caught up in the newness of it all and really is interested in you and getting to know you. But then all the things he has been avoiding or put on the back burner to put you in the front have caught up with him. It was unrealistic for him to devote that much time, energy and effort and live the [...]]]></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>

		<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[Pride and Ego Can Ruin Your Relationship We should all be proud of ourselves, have pride in our accomplishments and a healthy ego. If we love ourselves, it is easier for others to love us. But in some cases our pride and ego can actually get in the way of our relationships. When someone is talking about themselves do you interject and try and &#8220;one up them?&#8221;. Were they excited to tell you about let&#8217;s say the money they won but when you felt the need to interrupt and talk about the time you won money they withdrew? Allow someone else their moment to shine, to brag, and to feel proud. Be proud of them, but don&#8217;t take away from their experience by making it about you. You don&#8217;t want your partner to feel you are in competition with one another, yet by constantly turning it back to you, you are giving them that very feeling. When you are wrong, can you say you are sorry? If you both had a disagreement, do you always wait for the other person to come to you to work it out? Why can&#8217;t you swallow your pride instead of letting your partner be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Complaining and Criticizing in a Relationship Part 1 No relationship is perfect, and neither are the two people in that relationship. It is hard not to criticize our loved ones even when we try. Sometimes our criticism is constructive, but other times it is the exact opposite &#8211; destructive. Too many complaints and too much criticism can take the romance out of a relationship faster than a speeding bullet. Look at the way you and your partner communicate? Is it mostly in a loving, supportive and uplifting way? When you speak is it one negative thing after the other? If it is the latter, one would assume your sex life is not as good as it could be. It is much more difficult to feel sexy or romantic towards your partner when they have very little good to say about you. Those criticisms and complaints can really hurt your ego, so initiating sex can lead to rejection, so you simply don&#8217;t do it anymore.
