Sometimes Love Is Not Enough & The Road Gets Tough
Yes, in the gracious and holy words of Lana Del Rey why is it that love sometimes can become unfulfilling? It’s a hard and painful realisation but there comes a point where relationships don’t feel the same anymore. You and your partner don’t share happiness the way you used to, the way you would like it to be. You are wrapped up and confused in all emotions and in a whirlwind of desperation. How can it be fixed, is it worth saving, is the love there anymore, why are things not the same?

Intimate Ways Women Want To Be Touched (That Have Nothing To Do With Sex)
Sex is a strange thing. As someone who has spent a large chunk of their life doing it for a living, I can safely say that some of the most intimate, sexual and satisfying things for me don’t involve a penis entering me.
Samantha BentleyPublished 6 years ago in Humans No Matter What He Did, Forgive Him
Let's be honest. Woman to woman. Single mum to single mum. More often than not he did you wrong. He hurt you in ways that you could only imagine a person could be hurt. Maybe you hurt him, too. Maybe you spent a decade or more hurting each other. Maybe he hurt you because he left. Maybe he cheated on you when he promised you were the only one for him. Maybe he was abusive. Maybe he took your identity and ripped it to shreds. This story is for anyone who's been abused, this story is for anyone who sits alone at night filled with resentment.
Eve TawfickPublished 6 years ago in HumansDating Advice is A Fraud, Here's Why
When many of us are young we tend to be drawn towards dating advice online. We usually end up taking magazine quizzes, and of course advice from our closest, most trustworthy friends. Playing games and listening to the "three day rule" only makes dating and love a big game. Of course, you do it to win over the one you are interested in and it makes dating fun. However, taking dating advice from others makes you put on this facade of someone you are not. It only wastes your precious time and effort, or you can take it as experience.
Don't Fall in Love With the Illusion!
It's been quite a while since I have dated—about two years, in fact. In my experience, dating men who are immature is hard. And it's even harder when you have people down your throat supporting your (poor) decision.

Katie BerkenpasPublished 6 years ago in HumansJealousy in Polyamory
Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of friends. I remember being so possessive of the friends I did have that I would get upset if they hung out with anyone else. I’ve always been that jealous person. I thought it was just a normal character flaw a lot of people had, and that’s true; a lot of people do deal with jealousy and possessiveness, particularly in the polyamorous community. Recently though, I’ve come to realize that I’m not “just a jealous person,” but an insecure human being who can change.

I remember the time a book saved my life. It was called, My First 2,000 Men, by Liz Renay. At the time, I was in an abusive relationship with someone who would slut-shame me for having lovers in my past. Today, I would have gotten up and left. Since I was only 18, I didn't know any better.
Mackenzie Z. KennedyPublished 6 years ago in HumansDating Cleanse
One of my biggest wake ups I had recently is that I noticed dating is no longer exciting to me. It’s become extremely difficult to develop feelings for anyone! I would go on a date, have some good laughs and drinks, say goodbye… or hookup… and then I would lose interest by the next morning. At first, I thought “maybe I just need to stick it out longer, and then my feelings will grow for them,” (like I did with my first long term relationship) but that didn’t work… Instead I grew more annoyed with each guy and didn’t care for them at all.

This is a tale that tells about the single most social thing that has happened to me whilst traveling at 18. On an about five or six hour bus ride, a girl just randomly asked me for boy advice. Here's some context:
Calder Amos-WoodPublished 6 years ago in HumansHow To Get Past the Fake It Till You Make It Phase
We’ve all heard it before. “Fake it till you make it!” Most success, dating, and life coaches I know believe (or at least pretend to believe) in the "fake it till you make it" approach. As a result of that, most guys on various dating forums believe that they just have to fake being an awesome guy in order to become one.
