Introduction Do you ever feel like we constantly have to update our lists of rules? Between fashion, etiquette, food and work, there seems to be an unending amount of guidelines to follow, and it’s pretty exhausting. Sometimes, we all need to eat spaghetti bolognese and not wear a bra. Anyone who feels this way might
Let me first say that this post might appear a bit darker than what I usually post or talk about, but this subject is close to my heart and very well worth exploring. So please, bear with me till the end. True intimacy always comes with a lot of risks. This is a paradox:
Introduction The world doesn’t always end with a bang, sometimes things go out with a whimper. Sure, some relationships end because of cheating or betrayal or huge fights, but I’ve seen many fizzle out because of an endless supply of little arguments which sap the life of significant others. The death by a thousand cuts,
Introduction There’s a tendency I’ve seen with people who are struggling with their mental health. They get introspective, which is great, but to a level that becomes troubling.

Introduction It’s an annoyingly persistent stereotype which suggests that everyone hates their in-laws. The holiday period in particular may bring these tensions up, and winter in general isn’t the best time for many people’s mental health. Add an argument about whether saying “happy holidays” or “merry Christmas” is better, and a fair amount of alcohol,
Introduction Online dating. Loved by some, loathed by others. Apps like Tinder, Grindr, Bumble and Zoosk changed the way people meet and relate and moved romance in a very different direction. We might not want to tell our grandchildren that we met online, but if we want to have grandchildren it may be necessary. One
After a long time together, it can be normal to have less sex with your partner. But if you’ve become sexless in your relationship, it might have more to do with the relationship than the sex. In many cases, sexless relationships are symptoms, not the underlying cause. There are so many reasons why a relationship
Sometimes, dating apps do weird things to try and attract new users. Remember finding matches by reviewing memes, or additions on your profile where you could talk about your favourite Friends episode for two minutes?
