Sleeping in Separate Beds Can Actually Be Good for Couples
OK, don’t go packing your pillow up just yet, but hear me out on this one. Most people assume that couples who sleep in different beds are having relationship issues, whether it be in or out of the bedroom. However, that isn’t always the case and sometimes just sometimes getting a better night’s sleep can do the complete opposite of cause problems, it could actually solve them. How bout them apples?

The Goodbye Letter
I am one of those people. It's not a bad thing to be one of them but it comes with its hardships. We love with all our heart until there is nothing left to give. We expect nothing in return. We are stepped on, forgotten, and replaced and yet we do not change. It is rooted deep within us to be this way.

John and Jane...and Valentine's Day
John and Jane…and Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching which means heart-shaped boxes of chocolate and gooey cards are littering the aisles of our stores and appearing on tables, in mailboxes, and on office desks all across America. (Don’t lie, you’re counting down the days until those boxes of chocolate go on sale, I know I am).

My Worst Date
It was all so innocent, starting out with a mutual right swipe. He had curly hair, which I always love, so I decided to send him a message. The dude seemed nice, and even a little artsy with his picture in front of an old train. He responded after a few hours, and then conversation flowed, things were going OK. We talked for two weeks over text before deciding to meet up. Then the day came, and he suggested we meet at his favorite donut shop, which would have been fine, casual and close to home in case I needed to run. However, his way of starting the date was to tell me how he used to spend a lot of money on his dates, until he started getting less and less second dates so he started spending less and less money on them; the donuts were five dollars all together. Then our conversation (really his because he did most of the talking) started to get grouchy. He went on and on about how he's angry with his NYU advisor, so I started composing a "help me" text to my roommate, who unfortunately didn't have cell service. I didn't know how long I could deal with this; he sounded nothing like he did virtually. How could I not have known? Had he calculated everything he sent before he sent it?

Are We Entering an Era of Acceptance of the ‘Unable to Label’ Relationship?
Much to my mum’s delight, four weeks after moving back home following 12 years away, she had a daughter who had watched around a miniscule 63 hours of TV in 2017, hooked on Celebrity Big Brother; a programme I would normally scoff at for its anger and ego-filled coverage, tinged with sadness as once-celebrated celebrities sell their soul for a fee that will enable them to cover their repayments on a home that now exceeds their current status.

Date from Hell: 06/06/06
I received a call from an ex-lover who was now seeing someone I was friends with from the past. "Freddy, how are you doing?" Hearing her voice conjured memories of sex in the stairwells where we both worked, bathroom sex in restaurants, and rooftop sex in the middle of a rain storm. What the voice did not bring back to mind was the lunacy and evil, wicked scenes we played out in her apartment or on a bench in Central Park when she scratched my face.

Night of the Gargoyle
#MyWorstDate I pulled into the Seaport Diner in my brother's pickup on a Sunday night just after sunset. I would finally be meeting up with the girl I had been talking to online for the better part of the year. I was nervous. Meeting girls from the internet was not something I made a habit of doing, particularly back then. But I felt like she and I had something going on. From day one we just seemed to click whenever we would talk. So as nervous as I was I was also extremely hopeful. The fact that she was gorgeous in every picture I had ever seen of her probably contributed to that hope as well.
