Let’s face the facts — the guy or gal you’re with has probably had sex with someone else. Perhaps more than you’d like. Perhaps in crazy ways which you presumed happened only in the most exclusive S&M clubs of cities. Nonetheless, if you want to be with your partner, it’s your moral imperative to get over it. No one’s going to say that it’s easy to deal with your…

Regardless of how long you’re seeing someone, when they end things with you out of the blue, it can be seriously tough. It’s even worse when the old cracker of a chestnut ‘I’m just not ready to commit to something’ is pulled out of the bag. You end up inevitably asking yourself all these questions: What changed? Did I do…

What is a healthy relationship? With the only depiction most people getting being from television, films or relationships close to them, many of us are perplexed as to what a healthy relationship actually looks like.

You decided that day where to meet and what time, and together have picked out a nice restaurant with lush food to eat.

Women and men have been doing it for centuries: literally doing whatever it takes to hold onto a relationship until we reach the point of hating, hurting and hardly speaking, all because love is supposed to conquer all.

With the gradual influx of dating websites and apps, it is becoming increasingly apparent that we are slowly losing the ability to actually meet people in the real world.
