One thing I love more than anything else, is writing about relationships, dating and sex. In fact, it’s not just writing, I love reading journals, books, magazines, watching psychology videos and talking about all of it. There’s one problem with this. Google my name, and thanks to my good SEO and high rankings (and my unusual name), Never Settle pops…
Written by an anonymous contributor. I would like to preface this by emphasising that I am neither a doctor, nor was I professionally diagnosed with an eating disorder. However, I wanted to share my experiences regarding my self-image and related obsessive behaviours and thought processes, an issue that many people struggle with at one time or another. You may be…
Everyone is different, and so are their ideas of pleasure. We all deserve to feel amazing, and enjoying sex shouldn’t be a taboo or something we feel ashamed about or judged for. PLSRx makes you feel empowered, and I love that it breaks down convention to help us all discover our own pleasure… What is PLSR? Well, it’s simply whatever you…
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…
There are some serious issues with what we’ve seen on this year’s Love Island so far. Manipulation, blame, validation, possessiveness and selfishness. Toxic behaviour. But it’s just a game, isn’t it? You can see the cries on social media – Adam “is just doing what boys do!” VS “Adam’s a snake“, or “It’s just a game” VS “these are real…
A break up is possibly one of the hardest emotional roller-coasters you will ever go through. Sometimes your heart is shattered, sometimes it’s your decision, sometimes it hurts so much it feels like you can’t eat, sleep or breathe. Regardless of the situation, you always need some serious TLC! Me and the gorgeous Jess, a fellow blogger at Fierce & Fabulous…
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…

There’s been something I’ve been meaning to write about as soon as poss… the UK Blog Awards 2018! So FINALLY here it is, over a month on! On the 20th April 2018, butterflies were fluttering in my tummy as I prepared to get ready for the UK Blog Awards, held at the beautiful Marriott at Grosvenor Square, London. Nails were…
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,…
For the last few years, the term “Ghosting” has lurked on the dating scene. Although it was happening long before with not calling back and not showing up, Ghosting was only defined when added to the Urban Dictionary back in 2006. However, we are in the midst of a dating phenomenon that could only occur in the age of social media.…
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…
Insecurity is responsible for the large majority of problems in relationships. Knowing how to stop being insecure in a relationship can save it. Insecurity is the feeling inside of uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence and feeling inadequate. Believe me, we’ve all felt it at one time or another. But while it’s pretty normal to have moments of doubting…
In a world full of endless (and I mean endless) dating apps, all attempting to rival the top dogs Tinder and Bumble, for a single person, it can feel a little bit like drowning in an endless pit of monotonous conversations and meaningless swiping. It’s the same old same old, we swipe and swipe and swipe, have to come up…
The great thing about growing up: we learn more about ourselves, become independent, learn to be comfortable with who we are. But one thing we generally get worse at with age, is our ability to make new friends. The topic of how to meet new people as an adult has come up many times recently in conversations I’ve had. It…
