Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you.Wayne Dyer, Author & Speaker

The “WE” Couple
Why is it that certain, or shall I say, A LOT, of couples all of a sudden turn into a “we.” Last time I checked, I am a person. There is just one of me. I have my own thoughts and my own opinions. Last time I checked, so did my boyfriend. We don’t share the same opinion or dreams or ideas, even if sometimes they align. I understand using it is sometimes necessary - but I do not think it is ok to completely merge into one person just because you are in a serious, committed relationship.
I was with a couple the other night and the entire time I was getting “WE’d.” It was extremely annoying and it got me thinking. Why is it that when a relationship all of the sudden becomes “serious,” the couple decides they no longer are singulars. Everything is a “we” this and “we” that. I am all for joining forces in a relationship, but I will never understand why certain couples feel the need to merge themselves completely. If I am going to dinner or hanging out with another couple - I would like to get to know them individually. What are YOU interested. What do YOU think.
Maybe I’m a cynic or maybe I’m not really truly enough in love to feel the need to merge my brain with another human being, but I am perfectly OK with that. As long as I can continue being a “ME” the rest of my life and enjoy that life with someone else - I think I will have done OK. Or maybe these “we” couples are just so insecure they need to push their coupleyness onto you, just so you know how committed they are. SO committed in fact, that they now are a WE instead of a ME.

10 Signs Your Marriage is Heading for Divorce
First of all, I LOVE that they use “red flag” as I think everyone should be aware of them at all times while in a relationship. I even think you should possibly write them down as you recognize them in order to assess the situation before it gets out of hand down the road.
My favorite in this article though is this:
RED FLAG #6: If your spouse is secretive with his or her cell phone, you may be headed for divorce. In today’s society it is very easy for one individual to maintain one persona to his or her spouse and another to others. Cell phone and computer use does not make it any easier. Many of my clients felt their marriages unravel when their spouse began to be overly secretive with cell phone usage.

Ah, the drunk text. I am Queen of drunk texts and usually regret about 99.9% of them, along with the conversations I had the previous night, but that’s a different story.
Last weekend a friend texted me while he was out partying asking for someone’s number. Now, I knew they shouldn’t be texting this certain someone and they knew it too - hence why the number was originally deleted.
I know you may think it’s a great idea to get back in contact with someone when you are drunk, but chances are, it’s just a bad, bad idea and you can add it to your list of drunken mishaps that are now regrets if you do it.
To my good friend, you are welcome for not giving you the number.
Kids, here is a little lesson from your good friend Cupid, don’t drink and text and God forbid, don’t drink and dial. If you want to regret something in the morning I can give you a long list of things you can do that are WAY more fun.
Have a great day.

Are you in a long distance relationship or does your significant other constantly want to share your love through texts and Facebook? If so…this video is for you.
Here is a tip though - you shouldn’t need social media to profess your love for one another. Sure, it’s sweet and cute every now and then, but if you are breaking up and making up on Facebook and only communicating through a phone (while not long distance) you may want to stop, drop and move on.
RED FLAG!

A Girl’s Dream
Everyone thinks that a girl’s dream is to find a perfect guy. They are wrong because a girl`s only dream is to eat a lot without getting fat.

Ian: I know how to talk to a woman in a romantic way. You just have to look at her and make her feel like she’s the only woman in the room.

Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.Karl – age 5
