Reading: “Those Aren’t Fighting Words, Dear,” by By LAURA A. MUNSON
The lovelies over at SE (Social Esquire) posted this piece (Originally posted at NY Times, August 2, 2009) to their site and I just had to share. I think the story is quite unique and I can honestly say that I look at marriage (and divorce) differently after this. This woman’s patience and tenacity is beyond words and I hope it gives you a deeper understanding of the importance of marriage vows. In my opinion, … Read entire article »

Dating: Reality Check
The Power of Positive Thinking…is not real! It’s actually just embarrassing. Yeah, I said it. (Don’t believe me? Prove me wrong.**) If you haven’t noticed by now, a major theme of this blog is this: “It’s not you! You’re not crazy/lazy/stupid/mean/delusional/etc.;” If you’re single, it’s not because you are a bad person or you hate men or you have negative thoughts or you give … Read entire article »
Ms. Terry M.
I am not a big Terry McMillan fan. In fact, I’m not a fan at all. Never was. I’m the first to admit that I’m a bit of a book or literary snob and (what my best (male) friend calls) “You Go Girl” books are simply not my cup of tea (more power to you if they are yours). Anyhow, … Read entire article »

Video: How Facebook Ruins Relationships
I’ve got to give it to these kids. Whoever came up with the concept of this video is pure genius!!! Yeah, I said it! Genius. To be honest, I also belong to the school of thought that Facebook ruins relationships.

Video:: “Snapped!”
Yeah, I totally get why chicks “snap.” Discovering adultery or infidelity is no joke. Been there, done that, not pretty. Do I think people deserve to be killed or maimed for cheating? No. But can I see why a person who has been cheated on and discovered the betrayal could reason that a knife to the jugular is an appropriate … Read entire article »

I’ve said it dozens of times by now: Dating is a competitive sport and if you want to WIN (i.e. get a man/boyfriend, etc.), you’ll have to beat out the other contestants (i.e. the other girls in the game). Unfortunately, dating is a zero-sum game. In order for someone to win, someone else has to lose. That sucks, … Read entire article »
