Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word
"It's sad, so sad. It's a sad, sad situation and it's gettin' more and more absurd." - Elton John To all those who never received the apology they so desperately needed, I am sorry. I understand the sentiment is not quite the same from a stranger, but I am sorry. I want you to know I understand how each of these unattended grievances weighs heavy on your soul. I see you, and I am sorry. For those of you who can chalk it up to life experiences and move forward without getting stuck, I envy you and appreciate your ability to compartmentalize.

The Deflection Technique
What It Really Means When Your Partner Deflects During Fights Real talk: fighting with a partner absolutely sucks, no matter how big or how small it sucks. When you are in a relationship with someone, the last thing that you want is to end up arguing, but it does happen, and each time it happens a piece of your heart & soul are taken away. Though fighting is perfectly healthy in a relationship, that isn’t always the case, especially if your partner is not going to have constructive disagreements. Do you ever end up fighting with a partner and feeling like nothing makes sense? I have more times than I can count on my fingers and toes. Deflection is a commonly used technique, that a person can use to distract you from the actual discussion or reason for arguing. When deflection is used you will feel extremely worn out and tired. In this post, we will talk about what it means when your partner does this.

Healthy Communication Is Vital In Our Lives
Even the happiest of relationships, be they personal or professional, experience conflict or disagreement from time to time and, managed correctly, it is a healthy component of any partnership as it allows both parties to air their views and to hopefully reach a solution that will further strengthen the relationship.

How To Escape
How often have you been in a relationship with another where in the beginning it was everything that you had wanted and waited for? Until things started to become an entirely different world. You begin to feel as if all of the attention they gave to you has somehow led you to believe it was a part of their plan to take away who you once were and change you into someone who has lost their mind. They have succeeded and now you have no idea what to do because you believe somehow, someway, and for a reason you are unsure of that you are in love with them. It has begun.

Honeyed Words
I’m here for you, no matter what. You can lean on me. I love you. I’m not going anywhere. The weight of these phrases comes with a price, and before they escape your lips you must ask yourself if you are really and truly ready to pay it. As human beings we are all guilty of saying things we don’t mean; to be clear, I am not here to condemn you for saying them, as I’m sure that at the moment there is an inkling of truth when they are uttered. We all, naturally, have good intentions. But consider this, maybe there was also a part of you that said it for yourself? Maybe you needed the validation of I’m a good person because I say these things; maybe you assumed that who you spoke to, would never actually take your words to heart.

Respect Your Spouse
In your life, you should always work to make sure that the people who are close to you are respected, and you treat them the way you would want to be treated. This, in my opinion, is especially true when it comes to your spouse, significant other, partner, etc. (For this I’m going to use the term spouse, though it is meant for all levels of relationships.) Respecting your spouse is a requirement, YES IT IS A REQUIREMENT, of being in a relationship, and if you can’t maintain that standard, you have no business being in one. Respecting your spouse is not just about your actions, and words. But it is also about the actions of those around you, the people you call, your so called “friends”. In this post, we are going to talk about what respecting your spouse looks like.
