I have never been able to deal with numbers very well. I didn’t get the process or the language. I thought “Calculus” was some Greek God with the power to make men’s brains to explode. Balancing a checkbook is more difficult than balance a VW Beetle on my head. »more»

One of our readers pointed us to an ad Google placed on LifeTwo -- for an infidelity-promoting "married dating" site! »more»

For the past few days, I've been reading Dr. Jed Diamond's newest book, The Irritable Male Syndrome with rapt attention (in advance of interviewing him on my upcoming internet radio program). In my estimation, this book is required reading for anyone in the helping professions. It explores a complex of issues that work together in men to create a raging animal out of concerned and loving person. »more»

When we begin to date someone, nearly always he is a stranger. Even if you meet through friends, work, class, church or other activities, you most likely barely know him. While you want to be open and trusting, you also want to be conscious of inconsistencies that point to him not being who he represents himself to be. »more»

My pal shared his counter-stereotypical challenge: Women tried to seduce him before he felt the relationship merited it. Most of my dating men friends have shared they were ready for sex much sooner than the women they dated. Therefore I knew this pal was a rarity worth studying.

So I probed. »more»

In the carnival Fun House that is life after divorce, there are plenty of terrifying firsts that leap out at you from the darkness.

Dropping your kids off with your former spouse after their first every-other-weekend sleepover. Eating your first meal alone in a crowded restaurant on a Saturday night. Balancing your own checkbook for the first time. There’s one first, though, that far and away brings with it the most petrifying, mind-numbing, inescapable panic of all.

Sex. »more»

When we are fond of a man, we look for signs of his endearment toward us. We seek affirmation that he thinks as dearly about us as we do about him. Sometimes we mistake his natural habits for signs that he is going out of his way to show his affection toward us.

For example, you are on your third date and he: »more»

I've read that one of biggest pitfalls to having kids is that couples tend to forget who they were prior to breeding (though I personally think the the loss of perky breasts is high on the list). As a Gypsy Nester, one who is looking forward to life after kids, I thought I'd share a secret. »more»

I wanted to start this topic because its something I think of often in my line of work as a Licensed Private Investigator.
I have so many clients victims of adultery that are understandably upset over adultery, hurt and betrayed. To the point of domestic violence and even murder.
Betrayal is a horrible emotion and its so painful and hurtful in so many ways. »more»

The most popular topic on Oprah.com lately has been about the two most recent visits by Dr. M. Gary Neuman, author of “The Truth About Cheating”. Women by the millions tuned in both days to find out the answer to this most frustrating, devastating and destructive subject, only to find out that, in a nut shell, it was primarily their fault. »more»

[The probability of someone cheating during the course of a relationship] is very high," says Geneviève Beaulieu-Pelletier, PhD student at the Université de Montréal's Department of Psychology. Dr. Geneviève Beaulieu-Pelletier is the author of a new study about infidelity. »more»

A past beau called the little chores he did for me around my house “honey dues” and implied they were the dues men paid to make their woman happy. »more»

To be fair, all those Internet dating sites do what they do well. But then again, so do nuclear warheads, and I don’t think I’d have much luck around them either.

I realize what heresy it is to say something like that in this particular time at this particular place. Dating websites are everywhere. Match.com. eHarmony. True. Chemistry. Lavalife. JDate. Matchmaker. Seriously, there are more sites devoted to dating than the number of women I’ve dated in my entire life. And each one of them promises that you’ll find your soulmate, if you’ll just sign up for a nominal monthly fee. Who says you can’t put a price on love?

Far be it from me to be cynical (okay, maybe it’s not that far) about these places. I know two people who met and married their spouse via an online matchmaker. Still, I while it may work for some people, Internet dating is also a torture Satan thought up after a few shots of Jack Daniels. »more»

Ever been so pissed off at your partner that you took it out on them with an impulsive purchase? »more»

Back when I was young, we were taught to be very coy with members of the opposite sex - you never, ever told a boy/man you "liked them." New research reveals that telling someone "I really like you," could make him or her find you more attractive. According to Aberdeen University psychologist Dr. Ben Jones, making eye contact and smiling has a similar effect. »more»
