Hi Eve, I cheated on my boyfriend of four years and we are trying to reconcile. I then found out that earlier on in the relationship he “cheated” on me whilst attending happy ending massages. He really is a good person and has so many great qualities – at the end of the day we’re all human beings. But the…
Valentine’s Day is nearly upon us… and so the last minute gift buying begins. However, whether you’re single or in a relationship, there is a sex toy for you. Whether it be to spice up your Valentine’s night with your partner, or to experience bed-shaking pleasure with some solo-sex (cause who needs a man when you have a rabbit, right?),…
This post was written by an anonymous contributor. I came out as a lesbian in 2010, at 15 years old. After couple of years of hiding who I was from everyone I knew, I had the gut feeling that being authentic with the people in my life was something I really believed in. Now, almost 10 years later, I am…
Do you have a partner on the back-burner in case it all goes wrong in your current relationship? Ever been guilty of keeping a potential partner waiting in the wings while in a relationship with someone else? Well, turns out, you’re not alone. If you’re like the average young adult, chances are you’ve been keeping in contact with other potential…
Did you know, on average Brits will meet “the one” by the age of 28, and typically date 6 people before settling down? We live in a world with more than 7 billion other people. Seven billion. Despite being so many, every day, people find the person they want to be with for the rest of their lives. Two people, finding each other…
Dear Eve, I’ve been with my boyfriend for nearly 10 years, we’ve grown up together and I honestly love him more than words can begin to describe. We’re getting married in April next year and I can’t wait to begin our lives together. I’ve been with 2 other guys, when we were on a break 6 years ago, and thats…
It’s that time of year again where us bloggers sit patiently, nail-bitingly nervous as we await our fates… Blogging is, for a lot of us, a massive part of our lives. It keeps us ticking, it’s a purpose that runs through our veins. Those who blog for the genuine love of writing, helping, seeking out new ideas and enjoying being…
Moving in together. The never-ending sleepover with your best friend. It’s a big step. It’s actually pretty scary, you’ve gone from living in your own places, having your own spaces, to now… everything is shared. But before you run for the door and change your mind… fear not! If you’re ready for it, then it can be the absolute best…
I have romantically Loved three people in my life. The first: I learnt a lot about myself and it set me up to know how to be in a relationship, I broke his heart by falling out of Love. The second, I Loved and he would not Love me back. The third has been a rollercoaster, but has proved that…
Most of us would like to be in a relationship where we are happy. A healthy, happy relationship. But how do we know when we have a good relationship, or not? How do we recognise that we have a keeper? To sustain a long term relationship takes work, but there are few things which if you can wholly say “yes,…
Cheating… There are two schools of thought on this one. The first: it’s abominable. It’s the worst thing you can do to someone if in a relationship. The second: It’s exciting, you’re not happy and why not have some fun. Before I continue, this post is for those in the second camp. Those who think… “hey, why not, they’ll never find…
Nothing cools the heat of heartbreak quite like the rebound relationship. They are a fantastic distraction, a new lease of life, a chance for us to think “wow this is different!”…. but they can be totally toxic and incredibly unfair on the new partner you’ve found yourself with. They can be super helpful for us, but to drag someone through…
Post written by Thomas Dockerill – The Nice Guy Writes ‘Treat others as you would like to be treated’ – a great philosophy in principle. I’d like to challenge this philosophy in the context of relationships, after all, our generation has a duty to challenge. I think that there’s a distinct lack of focus and limelight on celebrating guys who are…
Hi Eve, I’ve been in a long term relationship with my girlfriend for several years, and she means a lot to me. But sometimes I’m not actually sure if I am in love with her anymore. I feel pretty hopeless sometimes and it’s nothing that she’s done, I just think that our relationship can be a bit boring and I’m…

Hello Stranger, a new dating show with a twist, gives couples the opportunity to meet each other again for the very first time. In the first episode of the programme, we see my favs The Juicy…
It’s a question most easily answered by those happily content in their relationships, and one which causes great pain to those who have lost it. Love is one of the most powerful forces, and it’s both amazing and terrifying because we cannot see it there. Different love There are all sorts of different loves, our first can’t-live-without, obsessive infatuation love,…
If you want it to last, don’t treat your relationship like its disposable The recent Channel 4 Series ‘Seven Year Switch’ highlighted how long term relationships all have their own problems. No relationship is perfect and they’re certainly not smooth sailing. Throughout the series, we followed the relationships of four couples who were stuck for different reasons and couldn’t find…

When you’re in a relationship or have been dating someone for a while, it can be really easy to become super complacent in your happiness. You’re quite content, comfortable almost, in where you are. You think, “I don’t need to make the effort like I did in the beginning”. You think, “my partner likes the way I am, just how…
Does The Only Way Is Essex normalise abusive behaviour? Where does entertainment cross the line into something much darker and more troubling? The Only Way is Essex is one of my guilty pleasures, and I have been addicted since series one, with Amy Childs, Mark Wright and Sam Faiers. Over eight years, it has kept viewers hooked with its glossy brand of real-life…
