relationships + lifestyle
We’re not going to like it but we’re going there. It pains me to even have to say in this day and age…but cheating on your partner doesn’t start in the bedroom! I think we all know this – we’re aware of it – yet we’re hell-bent on supporting our imperfectness as human beings…until we … Read more
After thinking long and hard on this, it really dawned on me how we’re all afraid to admit just how much we settle for things in life. I mean, on days we don’t feel like putting in the effort to cook, we settle for something to eat that’s quick and not always nutritious, right? And … Read more
Those who actually read this post are most likely to have an anxious attachment style (not to be confused with the fearful avoidant attachment). Because, alas, I find that it’s the anxiously attached partners who are also more likely to seek out answers and resources. If you aren’t that partner, then I hope this can … Read more
I notice this quite a bit – men who genuinely believe their relationship is *improving* when actually it’s the opposite. She’s moved on, like done-zo – checked out of the relationship. I don’t totally understand men’s logic on this one (granted, women share this, too, just *different*) but I imagine it’s simply because the arguing, … Read more

The key word here is *after* a first date. That means you’ve said your good-byes and parted ways. And if he likes you there are certainly ways he will SHOW you. Fankly, these three are likely ones you’ve already heard before, but maybe my in-depth take will highlight something *new* for you. I believe, after … Read more

It’s no surprise – we’re already quick to label clinginess by its select and stereotypical qualities. But what are some of the brushed-under-the-rug signs of a clingy partner or relationship? You know, the soft spots we’re not really ready to touch on. This isn’t talked about as much, but the damaging effects – IMO – … Read more
I’m not afraid to admit it – as a married woman, relationship-care and self-care are congruently interconnected. Relationship-care is also self-care, yet why is this statement so combative?
