When Fighting for a Broken Relationship Is Worth It

When Fighting for a Broken Relationship Is Worth It When relationships break down, we can often forget how the troubles even started. Emotion has a way of clouding our judgment like this, making logic and reason just a little harder to find. We can even start to doubt our own judgment, turning to friends for advice on our relationship. When it comes to deciding something as important as who you should spend your future with, I think it is essential that you find a way to figure it out on your own terms. Friends and family no doubt want the best for you, but they are unknowingly biased by their own life experiences. For this reason, seeking professional help for a troubled relationship is often hugely beneficial. So when it comes to the crunch about whether or not to fight for a broken relationship, what should you be considering? Here are some important things to keep in mind. When you feel truly valued by your partner In my experience as a trained life coach, and as a h...

7 Things Alpha Women Crave in a Relationship 7 Things Alpha Women Crave in a Relationship

7 Things Alpha Women Crave in a Relationship I like to consider myself an Alpha woman these days, but this was not always the case. I am a reformed people-pleaser too. I used to date guys who would put me down and boss me around, and I used to allow this to happen to myself. As a woman who has been through a great deal of therapy and personal development, I have really found my inner Alpha vibes and I now proudly wear them on the outside for all to see. I used to wonder if being in control of my own destiny meant being single forever, as my previous experiences of relationships had been so much about compromise. But that is really not the case. Alpha women need to be with someone who respects and supports them. Insecure men can be easily threatened by a strong woman and this can oftentimes be a big source of conflict, causing controlling and jealous behavior to creep in. We need to be with a partner who knows their own worth and knows ours too. If you are a single Alpha...

The Unedited Confession About My Most Romantic Valentine’s Day

The Unedited Confession About My Most Romantic Valentine’s Day Would the most romantic Valentine’s Day you could imagine be an explosion of hearts and flowers? Perhaps this would be it, if hearts and flowers were your thing. But what if that is just not your thing? Well, then I believe the most romantic Valentine’s Day would be one that honors who you and your partner really are. We do not need to fit into a prescriptive mold and do what everyone else seems to be doing on February 14th, unless we actually want to be doing that, of course. My most romantic day Personally, I am not very ‘romantic’ in the traditional sense of the word. And luckily, my partner and I have that in common. We are both introverted and neither big drinkers nor big spenders. Our favorite nights out include burgers and sci-fi movies. Come to think of it, our favorite nights in are much the same. My most romantic Valentine’s Day was my last one. I got in from work and was greeted with flowers, as th...

10 Astonishing Benefits of Dating a Vegetarian

10 Astonishing Benefits of Dating a Vegetarian We all know that being a vegetarian has many benefits but did you know that dating a vegetarian can benefit you too? It is true. And you may be pretty surprised at some of them. Take a look through my top ten reasons that you should start looking for your next date in the produce section. 1. They will live forever Studies show that vegetarians are healthier (duh!) and so they have a lower death rate. One of the reasons for this is due to their improved cardiovascular health. So, you do not have to worry about getting attached to them because they will be around for a long time. 2. Vegetarians can take a joke They probably have a good sense of humor. Why? Because they are so often the target of jokes that they have learned to laugh at themselves a little or at least developed a thick skin. 3. They are pretty even-keel They are less prone to mood swings due to their plant-based diets, which is always a good thing. Plus, this me...

10 Things to Do instead of Getting Revenge on Your Ex

It is always hard when you break up with someone, regardless of the reason. Maybe you just were not a good fit or maybe he cheated on you. Those feelings of hurt can run deep and really affect you. You may think the only way to be at peace again is to get revenge on your ex, but I am here to tell you there are much better ways to pick yourself up and move on.

10 Low Cost Yet Super Romantic Valentine’s Day Ideas

10 Low Cost Yet Super Romantic Valentine’s Day Ideas   Valentine’s Day often brings with it a wave of panic and nerves, not to mention high expectations. One thing this otherwise ordinary day in February does not need to do, however, is to break the bank. Whether you have been with your other half for a while and want to spend some quality time together without having to leave the house or you are in a new relationship and are looking to sweep them off their feet with fancy dinner reservations, I write this in hopes of making the day a little less hard on your wallet so you can enjoy the day the way you are supposed to: in each other’s company without stress. 1. Rent a movie It is an oldie but it is a goodie. Our lives are so busy and it is rare that we get the chance to sit down, grab a blanket and watch a movie without distractions. Tell your significant other that they need to turn their phone off and enjoy your favorite movie together. Do not forget candles. Candl...

My Partner Is the Reason I Finally Started Loving My Life

My Partner Is the Reason I Finally Started Loving My Life       Let me start by saying that I do not want this to sound anti-feminist in any way. I truly believe that we should all be able to love life on our own, and on our own terms. And nowadays I do. But I must admit, it took my partner to show me how. I did not get there without a lot of help from him. Sadly, many of us do not learn how to love life ourselves. We are raised in the shadow of our family’s expectations. Society teaches us that we must have it all and do it all. And the beauty industry teaches us that we must be physically flawless. Is it any wonder so many of us struggle to love ourselves and be happy with our lives? Personally, I used to be a people pleaser. My insecurity manifested as doormat-like behavior, where I would sacrifice my own time and energy to do things for other people. In previous romantic relationships, I always took a back seat, never asking for what I wanted out of a fe...

4 True Signs You Are Just His Next Option

4 True Signs You Are Just His Next Option     When it comes to having a love that continuously goes unreciprocated, it feels like you are a victim of a perpetual black hole. You pour your energy in, but nothing ever comes out of it. But then this new person comes along and alters your state of consciousness so you think you might be a priority, when in reality you are just his next option. If you cannot decipher his intentions for you, then here are the true signs you need to look for to tell if you are just an option: 1. Out-of-the-blue appearances Though he may have the decency to ask you over a text message about what your plans are tonight, regardless of how fast you respond, he takes forever. So you are left wondering what is actually happening or if you may wind up spending the evening with him. Instead of just carrying on the day as you would normally, you try to forgo meals (just in case of dinner) and check your phone every 5 minutes. Then, like a bolt ...

How to Make Him Value You Sincerely

How to Make Him Value You Sincerely   Making people value and respect you, especially the guy you have been crushing on, takes a bit more work than jumping up and down, saying, “Pick me! Pick me!” There is a bunch of silly advice out there that involves tricking guys into falling for a version of you that does not exist. If you really want him to see you for who you are and value you immensely, you need to be what he does not know he needs. Sounds difficult, right? Some people call this the “save the day” method. I call shenanigans. Saving people is great and all, but you are not a Wonder Woman. Do not overextend yourself for someone, even when you are trying to make them see what you can deliver. That leads to a bizarre game of give-and-take, where he takes everything and you receive nothing in return. So, if you really want him to respect and value you, do the following: 1. Be comfortable in your own skin Men are attracted to women who not only have confidence but p...

It Is Time to Make Him Realize He Is Losing You

It Is Time to Make Him Realize He Is Losing You  Giving too much and receiving too little reciprocation. Dwelling in the moment only to regret the time spent later on. You used to seek his affection, attention, and love, but now you feel yourself drifting away. Yet, the idea of losing him leaves you with tears in your eyes. So how do you convey these emotions without negatively affecting the relationship? How do you make him realize he is about to lose you? Communicate effectively Sometimes it is as easy as saying, “Hey, you seem distant lately. Is something wrong?” Sometimes he will not or cannot give an answer. That is okay. If he does, then the root of the problem is laid bare. You can then openly discuss how he is losing you. If you feel uncomfortable discussing this with your man, then keep reading. Take a step back from the situation Love goes cold sometimes. Just listen to some songs by Adele if you do not believe me. Sometimes, love dies because the bond betwee...
