Some relationships just aren’t meant to be. Sad but true. Some couples don’t belong together and some friendships are flawed in some way and they may eventually fizzle out. Breaking up is hard to do but holding on to something that is gone may be even harder. How does the person left behind cope?

Mothers have been depicted over the years in many ways - good, evil, self-serving, self-sacrificing, etc. No matter how you feel about your own mother on Mothers Day it's not a bad idea to acknowledge that you owe some of who you are, what you do, how you behave and who you become to your mother.

It’s a safe assumption that most people like to have a priority position in the lives of people they believe they are involved with in a significant way. That being said it raises a question in my mind. Why do so many people allow others to treat them as if they were just afterthoughts?

There are many emotions involved in relationships between two people - not only love; but love seems to get all of the attention most of the time. Do you love me? Why don’t you tell me you love me? Will he run if I use the L word? Are you sure you love him or are you in love with being IN LOVE?

Can you or someone you know be referred to as coldhearted with a heart as cold as ice? How can you tell if someone is coldhearted like the Care Bears Villain appropriately named Coldheart? Do cold hands mean you have a warm heart? How can you tell if someone you care about is a coldhearted fool?

Can you be logical with illogical people? Can you make them see things your way? Should you try or should you take a different approach? Sometimes you can make progress if the person is just stubborn but sometimes you’re just fighting a losing battle. What to do is entirely up to you.

Someone recently told me that he knew how to be a real man and to admit when he was wrong. That was a good start but being a real man is much more. A real man does not blame others for problems he creates. Only a fool would try to fly a kite in a hurricane and then blame the wind for stealing it...

When Michael Jackson’s song BAD made the word BAD synonymous with the word COOL, that was pretty COOl – bizarre but COOL. But sometime since then the word BAD as in – BAD BOY and BAD GIRL has actually reverted to its original definition - the word BAD actually means BAD, which is, in reality, UNCOOL

Do you know a Cheating Monster? It seems there is an Epidemic of Cheating In Progress. Cheating Monsters are men who claim they are in committed relationships until they choose to pretend they’re not and women who think that it’s perfectly acceptable to hit on someone else's boyfriend or husband.
