Dating advice, love advice, relationship and more!
I hate both giving and receiving dating advice, mostly because it isn’t a one-size-fits-all endeavor. But when a younger lady, wet behind the ears on the dating scene, comes to me and asks questions, I feel obligated to share my hard-learned relationship truthisms. Even if they’re harsh. I’m not going to make it all fluffy […]
I’ve never been fond of being called “nice.” Nice, to me, is a consolation-prize adjective; it’s a lazy descriptor you use for a person who isn’t interesting enough to rate a few more syllables. Nice is for potholders and admirable recycling habits, for neutral weather patterns and cuts of salmon. Even the slightly more enthusiastic, […]
I’m an avid backpacker/compulsive traveler. I’m an overly optimistic dreamer who has quite seriously hypothesized that (a) mermaids exist, and (b) if you run fast enough and cry hard enough, Bradley Cooper just might chase you around a street corner and scream “I love you.” I tend to believe that smiley face emoticons in emails […]
The other night, my boyfriend went home with a stripper, and I was totally cool with it. I’ve known about my boyfriend’s strip club patronage since we first started dating.

Whether you are in a new relationship or are just got a new partner, it is vital to be able to realize when the actions of your partner cause for concern. You might have a feeling that he/she is slowly pulling away or growing distant, but how can you be so sure? The good thing […]
It’s a special night of fun, friends, shenanigans, and sometimes… A wedding is such a special event in a person’s life. You can spend weeks or even months planning the wedding that will only last for a few hours, but it will create memories that will last a lifetime. There’s something about weddings that people […]
I sent my bare boobs to my best friend and, well, yeah. When the term “frexting” started making its rounds a few weeks ago, I did what I usually do when I hear a new (and albeit stupid-sounding) made-up word: I groaned. Frexting? Really? As a woman whose brain is constantly in the gutter, I immediately […]
When the fallback backfires. Everyone has one of those pacts: If we’re both single in 15 years, we’ll get married. It’s nice in theory, but what happens when you actually end up with someone that you would consider to be a fallback? These people very bravely opened up about being in a relationship with someone simply […]
Today is Nick and my 10-year anniversary. TEN YEARS. A decade. One-twentieth of a lifetime if we both live to be 200, which we plan to. I’m not usually super sentimental about anniversaries, if only because I’m like a doofy sitcom husband when it comes to remembering exact dates, but I couldn’t help but get […]
