The Barber's Daughter
Nothing pains me more than seeing someone in an abusive relationship. Physical or otherwise. But the absolute worst is seeing someone otherwise innocent sell themselves short and date somebody of no character at all. (Mostly, because you can’t call the cops on an a**hole, just for being an a**hole).

Guess What: It Doesn't Pay to Be a Dick
Sometimes, when I hear about other people’s relationships, I cringe. I haven’t been in that many relationships, but I’ve always had a sense of how you should a treat one. I’ve heard so many people talk about their relationships and think, “That… can’t be healthy… can it?” Even when I was little, I would hear people bashing their significant others and be confused. “If you don’t even like them… then why are you together?” In today’s world, society makes it okay, even encouraged, to drag your partner through the mud.

Do’s and Don’t’s for a Happy, Healthy Relationship
I’m not here to pretend that I’m a relationship expert, not even close. But at age 30, I have had to navigate my way through a series of not nice boyfriends, some abusive (mentally and physically), drug addicts, mama's boys, commitment phobes, total fuckwits, ghosters, alcoholics, and sex addicts, to name a few, and I’ve managed to wind up in a long term, stable, happy relationship with someone I love more than anything, but in a totally calm and non-obsessive way. Someone I want, but don’t need. Someone that I can share anything and everything with and not be afraid they will leave. Someone that lives with me and puts up with my mess, my quirks, my anxiety and my past…. however present it sometimes likes to be… and someone that I am expecting my first child with, and hopefully…. hint hint Tony… a ring at some point?

5 Types of Men Every Woman Should Avoid
Every woman at some point in their life has desired the perfect relationship. We have all allowed the idea of that "fairytale" kind of love to occupy our minds while knowing that it doesn't really exist. The reality, however, is that there are many men out there who are selling the idea of a fairytale, leading you to believe that you've met the man of your dreams. Dreams turn into nightmares and once everything has come to an abrupt end, the "How could I have let this happen?" speech comes into play, racking our brains over and over again.

How to Keep Love Around
So you think you’re in love. It’s that feeling in your chest, right? Those sparks that fly whenever you look at your partner? The need to be with them every single day? Perhaps this is correct. After all, this infatuation is what romance novels describe as love. It’s when you see someone and instantly know that they are the one for you. That’s what we’re taught anyways. Then those feelings begin to fade and you realize that their cute laugh is obnoxious and their messy tendencies are actually slobbish. Everything that made them beautiful is now, well, annoying.

How I Got Over My Breakup
It was really hard in the beginning. I didn’t have a respectful type of breakup where we both spoke honestly. I was cheated on, and I still don’t even know how long it was going on. It was unexpected. It felt like a nightmare and I would wake up, or that it was the end of the world.
