This Is The Best Love Advice, According To 13 Relationship Expert by Kristine Fellizar in Bustle
Whether you're single and looking, dating around, or are in a committed relationship, getting love advice from people you trust can help put your love dilemmas into perspective. After all, they've been there, they (somewhat) know what you're going through, and they just want whatever is best and will make you happy. Relationships with a romantic partner can be the single greatest thing in the world, as well as the single most frustrating. Because of that, many people have no problem venting out relationship issues to anyone who will listen — at least, that’s what I tend to do anyway. The funny thing is, when it comes to matters of the heart, people around you suddenly turn into love gurus who have no problem giving you their insight — no matter how bad it may be. When we want something to work out so bad, we'll try to receive any form of help necessary to make it work. Read the Full Article in Bustle
7 Things To Consider Before Leaving Your Spouse
If you find yourself struggling to keep it together during the holidays, you should know that you are in really good company. When you feel that you have nothing left to celebrate together, and you dread spending the holidays as a couple, that is a pretty clear indication that it is probably time to part ways. But before you say adieu, here are 7 things to consider: 1. Get legal advice. Beyond asking a friend, who may play a lawyer on tv, you really should consult with an attorney to learn about your rights and obligations; 2. Prepare a budget. You need to understand what it will cost you to be out on your own, so based on your income and/or available savings you can determine what you can afford in rent, etc.; 3. Explore Housing Options. We all need someplace to crash at the end of the day, and do not feel humiliated if you have to move back in with your parents or use a sibling's basement for awhile. Many of my clients have had to do this on a temporary basis, and I have found that they all benefited from the love and support of their relatives during a very trying time. Having a great family network that can spare you from going bankrupt is nothing to be ashamed [...]
Are You Tired Of Bending Over Backwards?
All relationships require effort, but in healthy ones the give and take should feel about equal. If you feel like you are putting in more of an effort than the other, or you don't feel satisfied with the return on your investment of time and/or money on someone, eventually you are bound to hit a wall. This is normal, and when this happens, you will find yourself lacking the same motivation you once had to do or say nice things, plan anything fun, buy thoughtful gifts or even hug. Then what do you do? Hopefully, when you catch yourself losing enthusiasm in a relationship you once held dear, you can have an honest conversation with the other person to try and repair your bond. Together, if you are both committed to working things out, you should be able to come up with strategies to improve your relationship. Unfortunately, however, some people are incapable of receiving critical feedback. Truly, these people are not going to be able to hear you say that they did or said anything wrong. So if you are dealing with one of these people, repair efforts may not be very fruitful, and sooner or later you will realize that instead of being able to connect more with this person, you need to switch gears and start [...]
