The Three Stages of Love, Lust, and Happiness...
Relationships are blind... We all want happiness, love, and to want and be wanted... BUT not all of us want it in the same way. Going into a new relationship is scary! Exciting! Also let's be honest the sex isn't always too bad either! I like to think of a good relationship as having three stages or even phases if you will. Stage one there is the puppy dog stage, and this is the new relationship all over can't keep your hands to yourself phase. Then there is stage two. Stage two is the, okay we've met the family we are getting serious and we've been together for a hot minute now. Then finally there is a stage three... Now three is the tricky one, it's the most committed and most important. Stage three is when forever comes in, whether it's marriage or just deciding marriage isn't for you but you are still wanting to commit to this person for life.

Are You Falling in Love with His Potential?
It’s a common wish among women. Some of us even daydream about it. For some lucky women this happens. They find that man or that man finds them, and they ride off in the sunset. For others, you find yourself involved with toads. When you meet them, they look like a prince, but once you kiss them they turn into ugly, green toads and make you wonder where the prince disappeared to that you first met.

When Your Partner Left Someone To Be With You.... Top Story - December 2017.
You've found your soulmate! They are everything you expected them to be, and even more! You two couldn't be happier together and your friends and family are supporting you both — Congratulations! Seriously, finding your other half is a big deal, a wonderful event, and there is no reason why you two shouldn't be happy and thrive together. But let's be honest, some of the best romance stories friends like to hear are ones that are filled with juicy drama, and some of those best stories are about how you and your partner met but were both in different romantic relationships with other people at the time. If you live in a large city, let's say Houston, TX or San Diego, CA, the change of running into your partner's ex-boyfriend or girlfriend are extremely slim. However, if you live in Dartmouth, MA or in Las Cruces, NM, the possibility of seeing their ex increased. Whether you run into each other at the local market, between classes on campus, or see each other at the only cafe that has decent coffee in the entire town... Or even better (ha), happen to have mutual friends, here are some possibilities that the universe might throw your way — and some helpful tips:

9 Things to Do Instead of Cheating
Cheating sucks. To be the cheater sucks pretty badly, I’m sure. As Steve said in the Sex and the City movie, “it’s been killing me.” Yeah Steve, I’m sure it has. You probably feel guilty. You’re feeling regret. You maybe even hate yourself a bit. But remember Miranda’s response? “It’s killing you??” Sorry, Steve. You’re not feeling what she’s feeling. You’re not feeling betrayed. You’re not feeling humiliated. You’re not feeling like someone just cut you open and ripped out every happy feeling you’ve ever felt and left you feeling cold and dark and empty.

Letting Go
As always, here I am sitting in bed watching my little blinking cursor taunt me, knowing I have so much to write about, but cannot find the right words to express how I truly feel. There are so many different topics I want to write about, but for now I really want to focus on something that I recently learned about myself…and maybe it may help you too.

Signs You're Being Abused by Your Partner
One of my more recent exes was abusive to me; I just didn't know it when we were dating. With his unique form of narcissism, he actually had me convinced that it was my insecurity, and my weakness that made me undesirable. When he left me, I was in shambles—and then he dated the girl who'd later become my best friend.

Things Unsaid
When I look back through the many phases of my adolescence I am most reminded of one girl; Kat Robin. Every few days Kat would cycle to another friend and demand their attention and affection. Lord have mercy on the person who didn’t show reciprocity. Per usual, she got her way at the cost of those around her whether she chose to acknowledge that or not. I wonder if Kat even knows the emotional damage she caused me the day she told me, “He could never like someone like you”. Some words will stick with you for life, even when you’d do anything to forget them. Yet, for every shadow cast, there is a source of light that begs to destroy darkness; “If you never try, you’ll never know”.

Warning Signs
I want to preface this by saying that I am writing in the first person to more accurately tell my story. This is also the first time I am telling my story from start to finish. I would not normally tell such a personal story on the internet, but I think it is an important lesson that everybody, young and old, should know. I have learned from my mistakes, and I am happy to have made it through this ordeal, but it very well could have crippled me. This happened during my junior to senior year of high school. I am writing this a year later, now in college. While I have moved on, and my life is exponentially better now with a wonderful, almost saintly new boyfriend, this is a story that will haunt me forever. I know a lot of people have or had it worse than me, but I would rather others not make the same mistakes that I have.

Loving Someone in Prison
Many of us are here looking for support in others going through the same thing if not something similar. We all start with asking the same questions, how are we going to make it without him/her gone. We come to realize that it doesn't matter how long they are gone even if its months, years or even life – we have to all deal with the separation anxiety and that they were ripped out of our everyday life and being placed in a strange and scary place.
