I suspect that if you ask five different people what a “long-term” relationship is, you’ll get five different answers. And I’m sure it does vary. Some people would probably say that it is a life-long commitment. Others might say that a relationship is long-term if you manage to sit through dinner without sneaking out the bathroom window [...]

Tiffany and I received another question from one of our readers. This question tackles the important issue of “when do I change my Facebook status to in a relationship?” My immediate response was, “Before the effects of alcohol wear off”.

A while ago I think I was in a relationship with a women. I say, “I think” because I’m not entirely certain. You see, she was a little flippant with regards to being considered “in a relationship” and would mysteriously dump me at random intervals. We seemed to be perfect for each other. [...]

Let’s face it, for many reasons, cheating sucks. Maybe not as much for the cheater as the one who is being cheated on but it still sucks. Cheating is a violation of trust and intimacy. It can leave the other partner feeling betrayed and, in some cases, inadequate.
I’ve heard it said that, “If [...]

Okay, Mike, let’s say for a minute that I buy your rationale. I don’t–I think that the vast majority of the time the reason a man (or woman) holds back is that he (or she) doesn’t want to commit. Maybe that’s because of where he/she is in life and maybe it’s the specific person in [...]
