Two friends discuss relationships and other mysteries of life.

When asked what the most important thing is in a relationship, the number one answer is surprising. From what I have seen, “love” seems to be number one. Trust appears to be coming in at a close second. Honesty is another heavy hitter in the “Things we want” list but it still won’t [...]

There’s been quite a bit of discussion on our Facebook fan page this week about monogamy and whether or not humans are really built to make it work. The discussion is getting a little heated, so we thought we’d put it to a vote:

Tiffany once told me that physical intimacy is like a placebo, an illusion of real intimacy. I’ll be the first to admit that I immediately thought she was wrong and just being…girlie. How much more intimate can you be than being “intimate”? However, my obsessive brain and habitual recreational thinking lead me [...]

When it comes to playing games, numbers don’t lie. I’d like to say that I am all for the honest and direct approach but I’ve seen the statistics and games have a higher success rate. I’ve talked about this before when I wrote a response to the book “he’s just not that into you”. [...]

The truth is, everything is a relationship. It’s always troubled me a bit that “relationship” has been co-opted to apply to long-term romantic relationships when in fact every human interaction is a relationship of some sort. We have relationships with the people we work with, family, friends, even the UPS guy who stops in every [...]

We have gotten some comments implying that Tiffany and I are in a relationship. The truth is that we have never actually even met. To clear things up, I thought I might take some time to tell the story of how it all began. At least, my version of the story. Tiffany may [...]

Probably in response to my “Know What You Want” post, Mike aptly pointed out that many people…just don’t. I definitely can’t disagree with that. I think that very few of us are clear on exactly what we want all of the time, and it’s certainly subject to change. For example, when I was in my twenties I [...]

It’s true. I tell Mike to cut his losses all the time. It might seem a bit contradictory, because I’m not a fan of the modern mentality that says as soon as the roller coaster passion dies down for five minutes, you should start shopping around for someone more exciting. In theory, I don’t even [...]

“Rebounding”, possibly the most commonly practiced method of dealing with a break up. What causes it? Well, I once heard that you get out of a relationship what you put in. And a relationship is exactly that, a give and receive type deal. While you’re in a relationship, you are used [...]

I would assume that over fifty percent of all relationships end. I base this assumption on the divorce rate and the fact that not all relationships lead to marriage. So, at some point, someone decides that they want out. This is a tough area for me with my “I can make it work” [...]
