When I started dating again after my last breakup, I was purposefully looking for my next big relationship. Unfortunately, this meant I often jumped into things too quickly with guys just because I wanted to be with someone. Needless to say, that always ends in disaster. Settling for a guy who didn’t deserve me didn’t…
When I was younger, I experimented with polyamorous relationships. Time after time, those relationships were special, and to a point, they were life-changing. However, they all seemed to be fundamentally flawed. As great as the perks of being in a polyamorous relationship were, I had to admit they weren’t for me. I hesitate to say…
Relationships are built on trust, respect, and communication. You need all three to have a successful relationship, and they should come naturally if you’re with the right guy. However, if one of those things collapses, the rest will follow pretty soon after. If he doesn’t respect you enough to be open, how can you trust…
