My husband called me “an un-supportive wife.” He said I didn’t support him in his pursuit of his dream career. We’ve had many arguments in our 10+ year relationship, but this comment insulted and hurt me more than anything he’s ever said to me. All I do is support him. I couldn’t believe he just uttered those words. I was shocked to silence when he first spat that out at me. I looked around in disbelief that he could actually feel that way. I looked around at the janky old apartment in Jersey City (above my mother in law, mind you) that I agreed to move into…

Enough Already: If You Can’t Afford To Date Then Just Don’t Date
Y’all really intending on this never-ending debate about $200 dates and plane tickets, aren’t you?

On almost every level I cannot understand why we’re having this conversation. I…

Well I had a date last night that proved that women usually aren’t the one tallying the tab, but men are. The guy here, I’ve been patient with for a couple of months now. Only because he is…

Guest Post – LESSON ON LOVE: I WANT THAT OLD THING BACK…OR DO I?
“When it comes to love, we are both the victim and the perpetrator of the crime.” – Loveology, John Mark Comer. Last week I had the pleasure of attending the live broadcast of “This Date Is Over Radio Show“, an internet radio show about dating and relationships. The topic of the show was “Losing Attraction” i.e. what to do when your mate is losing interest. Having experienced this a few times out in the dating field, it sparked some reflection. Everybody fears being vulnerable and that’s why in relationships we take on the dual roles of “victim” and “perpetrator” or defender and protector. Not only do we not…
