It can be very intimidating and an uncomfortable topic to bring up your kids to someone that you have made a commitment to in terms of a relationship. I would suggest that you do this as soon as possible because you do not want him or her to think that you like to hide things for a long time. Then, they may think that you are hiding something else that you do not want to tell them. I would suggest that if you have kids to tell them over a serious dinner so they understand how important your... more

Being separated from your spouse can mean many different things depending on how serious the separation was. Most of the time, when you go through a period of separation, it means that you are no longer dating that person and they are free to do whatever they want as they are now single. There is usually a chance that both of you will get back together after time passes and you date other people, but when you are separated, this usually indicates the end of your relationship. I would suggest that... more

If you feel that your marriage is falling apart there are many things that you can do. First of all, I would ask yourself if this is something that you are overreacting or a major aspect in your relationship that there is no way for you to get over in the future. If you feel that you are stuck and cannot fix this situation by yourself, I would suggest that you either have a talk with your boyfriend or girlfriend or go seek marriage counseling. This will help you to go over the problems that are... more

It can be quite devastating if you have been in love before and are trying to find love again. I have been in this situation and was absolutely head over heels for a girl that I basically gave my life to, but things fell through and did not work out. When this happened, I was just as sad as you probably are right now but the thing that kept me afloat was my friends and family. I feel that it is very important to have a strong foundation with the people that care about you the most so that you... more

It is always difficult to apologize. Apologizing is to admit that you were wrong, are sorry, and wish to make amends. If you are continually hurting someone, that would make the task of apologizing that much harder. Actions speak louder than words. The best thing you can do in this case, is to try your best to stop hurting the other person. Whether intentional or unintentional, hurting another person is wrong and you have to do your best to right that wrong! First, you should examine why you... more

If you are in a relationship with someone and you believe that you are pulling away or not showing the type of effort that the person deserves, I suggest you strongly consider taking some time off from that person until you get yourself in check. One of the worst things that you can do is stay with this person and continues to push them away until they cannot take it anymore and move on to someone else. Try to think about how this person makes you feel and understand the consequences emotionally... more

I have a friend who was recently involved in an affair and it seems like one of the hardest things to deal with in a relationship. I know that if my wife ever cheated on me, it would be very difficult for me to ever trust her again. Trust is the most important aspect of a relationship and when it is lacked, you will always have that feeling of indecision as to what your husband or wife is doing. If you are holding your husband’s affair against him right now, I would suggest trying to give... more

Marriage is an amazing commitment, and you may not feel comfortable with making that promise yet, or deep down, you may not feel like your girlfriend is the right one. After thinking about why you may feel insecure, I recommend sitting down and having a conversation with her, describing your feelings.
Be honest and open, telling her what you are insecure about. Are your fears emotionally, financially, or physically based? Is it something she can help you change? If so, working together will help... more

When you are about to commit yourself to someone for the rest of your life, there are many fears that come into play, most of which are natural. If you are having doubts about getting married, please think about why you are getting married and if this is the decision that you want to make. Most people get cold feet and think about all of the negative things that could happen and are taken away from them once they get married instead of focusing on all of the positive things that come from marriage.... more

When one person gets married and commits their whole life to someone else, the generally conceived notion is that this is the right decision for them. In your situation, there are many key factors to look at to determine if the biggest decision of your life was the correct one. First of all, think about how you feel when you are with that person. Obviously, the initial fire is going to be gone but do you love this person and care for them? If the answer is no to that, you probably should ask... more
