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 [...]

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” [...]

It’s true that most of us drift along in traffic, not really noting the specifics of most of the cars around us. I’m as guilty of that as Mike apparently is. I can’t agree, though, about those stand-out cars. The cars that “pop” for me on the road aren’t beat up or noisy; the cars [...]

Of course, she just wasn’t that into me. But, the reason for that is what I think is the more interesting part. I wasn’t what she was used to. She wasn’t used to being around someone who didn’t “need” her for something. She didn’t know what to do with that. How do you feel [...]

Oh, please, Mike. It’s true that most women don’t ask the questions you mention, but it isn’t because they’re too quick to write a guy off. It’s because they’re too quick to make excuses for him. There’s a reason that He’s Just Not That Into You was the literary version of a shot heard ’round [...]

This morning, I was talking to Mike about a logistic issue with blogging, and I remembered something I used to tell my students during the many years in which I taught standardized test preparation classes: don’t get married to a problem. That is, don’t get caught up in that feeling that you’ve “come this far” [...]
