		<description><![CDATA[Now that the relationship is over, should you be friends with your ex? If either of you is hoping for a reconciliation, and believe maintaining a friendship is a good way to keep the door open, then the answer is NO! If you are still having sex with one another (stop that) then the answer is NO! Have neither of you moved on? If not, then it is impossible to be friends. Are there still unresolved feelings? Do either of you think being friends will help you to get closure? Being friends will not give you closure. After you have closure, then see if you would like to be friends with your ex. But not until then. If seeing your ex start a new relationship with someone would cause you pain and ruin your friendship with him, then obviously friendship is not a good idea. If your ex would be hurt be hurt if you began seeing someone else, the same rule applies. If friendship was never a real part of your relationship prior to now, chances are very slim you could really be friends at this point. You both need to have an honest discussion to determine if you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you look up the word friend to find a definition you would could up with something similar to the following: A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. A person whom one knows; an acquaintance. A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade. If you take a look at couples that are in strong, healthy, satisfying relationships, you will see that they fit the definition of a friend as well as a lover. If you take a look at people in unhappy, dysfunctional drama-ridden relationships you will see that they do not fit the definition of friend. What they DO fit is the definition of the word enemy a lot better. The word enemy can be defined as: One who feels hatred toward, intends injury to, or opposes the interests of another; a foe. A hostile power or force Something destructive or injurious in its effects. Which is the person YOU are involved with? Your friend or your enemy? We have all heard that the best relationships start out being friends first, and even though you may not have started out that way with your partner, shouldn&#8217;t you be friends NOW? You have [...]]]></description>

His friend could set his balls on fire, so does that mean your man will as well? No, THAT he wont. He picks and CHOOSES what influence he allows his friends to have on him.]]></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>

They stayed with you on your birthday when he picked a fight and ruined it. They cannot forget the days they heard you complain and cry when we questioned your sanity for being with this pig in the first place.
