Make Your Relationship Work

They say that for every person there is the perfect partner. One person who will mesh with you and complete you. It’s total crap, of course, there are usually dozens of them. The problem is weeding out the idiots, jerks and douchenozzles so you can see them. As always, we aim to assist. Since so…

Is he cheating on you? I don’t know. Probably? It’s better to be safe than sorry, girl. A recent article in a popular woman’s magazine says he is. Who am I to argue with such literature? They use scientific science!  They’d never exploit a common female insecurity and make the lives of millions of men…

It’s a question I get a surprising amount of the time: “My boyfriend is into [X] and I have no idea what [X] even is.  Help!”  It’s good when you want to take an interest in your significant other’s way of spending time that doesn’t involve you…just be warned that it may be a little…

You know, I never see Facebook campaigns about basic civility.  I know, I know, I sound like a grouchy old man, but I hate seeing “repost this if you hate cancer”, because everybody hates cancer: you’re just extorting attention. How about Facebook campaigns about basic manners?  Because, really, that’s something we could actually do something…

While it started out as a place to reconnect with grade school classmates and play Farmville, Facebook has (whether we like it or not) increasingly become a major part of our daily lives. Seeing as how employers and lawyers use Facebook as a way to dig up info on people, it’s safe to say it’s…

One of the most intriguing parts about any relationship discussion is the fact that men and women swear that neither of us understand the other one. We try to explain ourselves, largely to unsuccessful results. Honestly, I think that’s part of the fun of relationships: the journey. Sure it’s great to get to the point…

This is a short one, as I want reader input here. Sometimes talking is good. The blog is a starter seed, the info will hopefully be in the comments. Get a lot of questions in about Mr. Right. How to find him, how to keep him, should you feed him after midnight? The questions come…

Every year new studies about women came out. Some “proving” that women “depend” on social media while men just look up the weather and sports scores, others that women are “biologically” less funny than men.  They are both, of course, ridiculous.  But since way too many people give them credibility, let me explain why you…

I had an interesting discussion the other day about a married man who has been stringing along his mistress for four years. As we all agreed, the guy was clearly never going to leave his wife for her. After four years, it was obvious that his meager emotional breadcrumbs (phone calls, texts, occasionally hanging out with…
