Speak Up: How to Lead in Love

Put Yourself First

Ann from Stoughton, Massachusetts asks:

I need advice. I came here five months ago. My high school sweetheart found me on Facebook, and I thought this would be my last love of my life. But he has done nothing but hurt me and my emotions. I give but I get nothing back. I just want to go back to where I came from and try to put my life back in order if possible. I feel like such a fool coming here and letting him use me like this.

Carmen’s Response:

Dear Ann,

There is no use in crying over spilt milk, so don’t feel like a fool. Bad situations can happen to anyone, regardless of who we are. The defining factor is how we deal with disappointments. So instead of beating yourself up, acknowledge the fact that people can, and usually will change (sometimes for the worse) and move on. See, unless you can build a time machine and go back and change the situation, i.e. get involved with him, there is no use in sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself. All that will do is make things worse and leave you feeling drained, bitter and unhappy. Alas, you cannot change the past! You can, however, change your future! Read the rest of this entry »

Keep Your Long Distance Relationship Alive

March 9, 2012 at 1:00 pm
By Krishna Bill

Is There Actually a Way to Make It Work?

The long distance relationship: Many have tried it, few have succeeded. There just seems to be something about it that always falls apart. But is there actually a way to make it work? Are there steps (beyond, say, moving to the same place) one can take to solidify a long-distance relationship?

The Huffington Post reports:

Eric and I are going on five years this July. Many people’s response when they learn this is to say that I’m two years away from the seven-year itch.
With a long-distance relationship, that itch comes every four months and there was a scratch after two years. In the age of the Internet, I’ve noticed more friends and acquaintances have commented on their LDRs with questions like, “Oh is this right? Why isn’t he communicating with me? Am I asking too much?” I have talked to Eric about a few of these concerns that pop up. Long distance relationships are not for everyone. It is like any other form of relationship or identity… if it fits you then it fits you. If it doesn’t… then really you won’t be happy in the long run. Read the rest of this entry »

6 Annoying Male Habits Explained

March 9, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Eric J. Leech

You Love Him, Except When…

Men are not always easy to deal with. In fact, there are six habits that may very well be the cause of two-thirds of the gray hairs upon your head. An explanation may not be as good as permanent hair dyes, but it will at least give you a good story to talk over with your hairdresser the next time you are in the chair.

1. “He never admits when he’s wrong.”

Guys are stubborn. However, even more than that; guys have a differing view of what is considered to be ill-mannered. Studies show that men are very capable of feeling fault. The problem is: it takes an anvil falling on his head, or I should rather say, your head, before he feels like he owes you an apology. Men are not as aware of your feelings, so hurtful words may seem justified, simply because he meant it while saying them. Men are also always negotiating for power within their relationships, and admitting being wrong may feel like a loss for the team. This is one of those habits that is easier to accept, than it is to break. Trying to squeeze an apology out of him may lead to more grief than it’s worth. Tired of getting into meaningless arguments? Talk to Psychic Kole ext. 5080 who can see what’s underneath the argument. Read the rest of this entry »

Creepy or Just Sad?

A Pennsylvania man has been charged with hiding a listening device under his wife’s bed. Was it to catch her having sex? No, apparently he was OK with that—he just wanted to know when the coast was clear so he’d know when to come back home.

Fox News reports:

Police have charged a Pennsylvania man with hiding a remote listening device under his estranged wife’s bed that he said he used to avoid overhearing her sex life in the house they still shared.
Raccoon Township police said 66-year-old Wayne Comet Cripe’s wife contacted them after finding the transmitter under her bed last month. The Cripes are separated, but still share a home with separate bedrooms. Read the rest of this entry »

Create a Couples Journal

March 8, 2012 at 12:00 am

Remembering Your Milestones to Create Perfect Intimacy

Sex isn’t the only way loving couples can express the intimacy of their relationship. Sharing your dreams, accomplishments, and milestones forges a golden bond strengthened even more when mutual gratitude is in the mix. Writing a private journal, only accessible by the two of you, is one way to put a big red bow on the gift of your love.

Choosing Your Media

Keeping a journal isn’t tough to do. It takes time, but one of your pleasures is spending time together. One lovely thing about starting a journal is choosing the tools to use in the writing. Spend a comfy evening together planning your project and selecting the pleasing things you’ll use. Read the rest of this entry »

How Men Get Over Break-Ups

March 7, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Eric J. Leech

Men Cry, Too

The man’s handbook of getting over a break-up is a short read. It’s about two pages long, and encourages men to be thankful for their freedom, fall into a drunken stupor, and wake up next to a one-night rebound feeling great about themselves. This is the handbook that has been written by such known ladies’ men as Warren Beatty, Tiger Woods and Wilt Chamberlain. However, there is also another handbook hidden in the closet of the average guy. This is the one that gets used the most. Allow me to highlight a couple of pages and clue you in on what men actually go through each time their relationships move south for the millennium.

Stage 1: Ambivalence & The Drunken Stupor

According to an online survey by Men’s Health, over a quarter of men go out on a drinking binge to ease their pain after a break-up. These guys are looking for an easy way to feel better, and since they don’t feel comfortable with showing weakness in front of their friends, they let alcohol do the cheering up for them. Unfortunately, for many men, it is his main squeeze who he shares the majority of his feelings with. When she is no longer around to console him, he may feel like there is nobody else to turn to.
