Infidelity prevention is often overlooked in relationships. Sure, we expect our partners to be faithful, and we’re upset when they’re not, but what did we ever do about it? Some people think that there is an onus on each partner to trust the other and to have the necessary emotional fortitude and maturity for fidelity, but its that sort of hippy rubbish that got us into Iraq.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a husband. Unfortunately, the trouble is that all too often, men are dashed problematic when it comes to marriage, often developing severe commitment phobias and running off to Vegas to drown their sorrows in drink and loose women…
Choosing a husband can be the most difficult thing a woman will ever do. There are so many factors to think about. Do you want a big one or a small one? Do you want a rich one, or one who will stay home with the kids? Do you want one that will take out the trash when its full, or do you want a flying unicorn named Otis (the last two are about as likely as the other to happen.)
There are a great deal of single women in the world at any one time bemoaning the fact that they have no man to love them and hold them, and whisper sweet romantic nothings in their ear all night long. For those women I have some good news, and some bad news. The good news is that any woman with the appropriate genital configuration can get a man…
Sometimes being single is a blessing, and at other times it is a total curse. It’s a blessing when you get to chose what movie to watch without having to consider the feelings of a partner who doesn’t like romance/blood and gore, or when you want to read in bed without worrying about having to turn the light out because he ‘can’t sleep with that damn light on.’ It’s also nice not to have to constantly put the toilet seat down, or explain why wet towels don’t live on the floor, or why its not okay that he just spent your last $40.00 on a lava lamp and a bag of onions, or that you hope she has a nice recipe for leather, because those shoes she just bought on your credit card used up the last of your disposable grocery money.
There’s a lot been written in generally whiny tones by so called nice guys who believe that they always finish last. These guys are always respectful to women, lavishing them with attention, looking after their every need, being there for them when they are sad or upset, and then standing in the dust as she runs off after some jerk who doesn’t deserve her.
The notion of a soul mate is a beautiful one. The theory goes that a soul mate is another person, (or persons) with whom you have had a relationship with on a soul level before this life time, and will continue to have relations with when this lifetime is over…
Loneliness is some of the greatest pain that a human being can undergo. Ironically, it seems that the more people that are born into this world, and the more connected we become, still the more loneliness afflicts us. Though many of us spend each and every day surrounded by people (generally annoying people, let’s face it), a hollow gnawing feeling of loneliness persists, occasionally flaring up into a void in which it is easy to become lost. The world seems dark and empty, and it seems as if just existing is a painful experience.
The break up can be one of the hardest parts of a relationship. Many people just don’t know how to break up with a partner gracefully, or even effectively. A break up is always painful, but it can also be annoying, or plain old dangerous. A good break up should be a clean break, without restraining orders, or jail time, or the typical lingering ex.
True love is elusive, but at some point in life, almost everyone is seized with a desire to find it. True Love is the blush on a maiden’s cheeks, it is the sparkle if stars on a clear night, it is the heat that drives the leaping flame, the inherent instability that creates a nuclear reaction. You get my drift.
