What Love Is like After an Emotionally Abusive Relationship
Emotional abuse is never something you think that you'll be a victim of. You think that you will "know the signs" and "never will deal with that" until you are in a romantic relationship with someone who is. You don't take those red flags as bad; he's just "caring" and "protective of his own." He's not. It's abuse that affects you mentally and physically. Unfortunately, this is extremely common, and when you are in it, you don't realize what is going on.

Are You Abusing Him?
Alright, ladies, it’s time to be perfectly honest…. We aren’t exactly perceived the same way as our male s/o’s in relationships and we know that. After all, we tend to be able to get away with a heck of a lot more than them in some instances. And sometimes those things we can get away with is a lot worse than you think. If you read the title of my article, which you must have if you clicked on it, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

What Moving in With My Boyfriend at 19 Has Taught Me
There’s a lot of stigma that goes around when it comes to relationships these days, about how they should progress, when to appropriately call your relationship “serious,” and when to make big decisions with the person you love. But that’s all a bunch of BS. Here are some of the things I’ve learned since I moved in with my boyfriend at 19-years-old.

How to Be an Introvert
I've been an extrovert for a long time. A really long time. In a world where whispers are yells and opinions are loudly-held, it's hard to think without feeling intruded upon by other people's talk, and impossible to speak quietly and still be heard—so I've adjusted by speaking every single thought that I have and doing it all quite loudly. Naturally, so has everyone else, which leaves us all with a cacophony of mindless words being repeated over and over and over till our eardrums are desensitized and our neurons no longer know of any other path to take.

Is He Falling for You?
People say that men don't have feelings, that is wrong and total bullshit. They have feelings and they usually fall for a woman before the woman falls. They think they can shove the feelings aside, or they are too oblivious to them to even notice what the hell is going on before it's too late.

Player 2 Enter!
What do we look for in the "perfect partner"? What do we search for? What defines the perfect relationship? All questions that orbit around the dating game. A game none of us are really great at playing. I've beaten plenty of games but the dating game always seems to be the hardest. We're all searching for our player 2.

How to Spot a Tourist
Dating tourist is not easy, so after hitting my head on the wall several times, I now master the art of detecting one. The worst is my actual paradoxical realization: dating a tourist is dreadful but they are the best! While dating a tourist sucks due to long distance, dating New Yorkers is nearly impossible!

Knowing Your Worth
Dealing with relationships can be difficult but as humans, we all share the same desire for happiness. A confirmation of this desire for happiness should be an immediate indicator when it comes to knowing when a relationship is good or bad for you. Meaning, if you are dating someone who makes you unhappy, then you should likely not date them. Alternatively, if someone does make you happy, then that is a good omen for your relationship. However, humans are complicated creatures, and it's never that simple.The most important thing to keep in mind when evaluating your relationship is that you come first. You cannot realistically have a healthy relationship with someone if you are not putting your own self first. So what does that even mean? It means you need to regularly stop and think about how you feel and why you feel that way. Translate your feelings into thoughts and then deal with them accordingly. If you do not give yourself the time to process these emotions in a thorough manner you are simply bottling them, and when you bottle your emotions you are trapping yourself.

Why Letting Go Is the Better Option
"Letting go." Two words, a thousand meanings, an unlimited amount of strength and courage. The thing is, people nowadays confuse letting go with losing something. If you've got the option of letting something go, I'm sorry to tell you, you've already lost it. Or, more often than not, it was never yours to lose in the first place.

Today's Topic: Dear Internet, Part 1
The internet is a treasure trove of people seeking advice. I, myself, have spent the past several days googling what exactly to do with an insecure boyfriend. Like all things, one must consider the source. For example: who am I more likely to trust with the sudden changes in my romantic relationship? Cosmo or the Good Men Project? In this case, The Good Men Project. After all, I am dating (I think I still am, anyway), a red-blooded, redheaded man. Not an appletini with better hair products than myself.
