We’ve all been in relationships where we felt (or been told) we’ve been “asking for too much” from our partner. However, the problem with this is deciding whether it’s true or you’re just with someone who disagrees with your point of view. “Asking for too much” is subjective. What you might think isn’t a lot…
Remember when you were younger and had your heart broken and your mom tried to make it better by feeding you terrible, straight-up BS love cliches? It feels like we’ve been told and have repeated this garbage forever, and we bought it all hook, line, and sinker. I’d like to examine these ridiculous phrases and…
We all have our own ideas of what love is, but it’s never really as simple as it’s made out to be. Supposedly, you fall in love and everything magically works out. Okay, so maybe it does in one of those Hallmark romance movies at Christmas, but for the rest of us, it’s a little…
Is there anything more frustrating than someone who either doesn’t know what they’re feeling or who isn’t willing to communicate those feelings when you’re in a relationship? It’s like, come on dude — we’re adults here. We can’t waste time on a non-starter teenage relationship where one of us gets uncomfortable and ghosts the other….
Self-esteem takes a long time to build and a toxic relationship can destroy it all without you even realizing it. If any of these 14 signs sound familiar, you’re with a guy who can ruin you (and quickly). He puts you down. He says things like “you’re too sensitive” or “you worry too much.” These…

While I’m totally happy for all of my friends who are in amazing relationships, I can’t help but cringe when I see people update their profile photos to a couple pic. Here’s why you…
Relationships are all about give and take, and compromise is a necessity if you’re going to stay together long-term. However, there are some things that are non-negotiable and that you should never have to sacrifice. If you end up butting heads about these things and aren’t on the same page, you may be better off…
Where’s this going? Does he see a future? Is he ever going to take the next step? You could sit around pretending everything’s okay and drive yourself nuts wondering what’s next. Or, you could stop waiting for things to happen and take charge of your relationship. I’m pretty sure a relationship involves two people, so…
We’ve all rolled our eyes at couples who have seemingly forgotten each other’s names and tend to refer to one another only as “Boo,” “Baby,” or some other cringe-worthy pet name.
