		<description><![CDATA[I suspect that if you ask five different people what a &#8220;long-term&#8221; relationship is, you&#8217;ll get five different answers.  And I&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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”.  I still stand by that response but I felt like I should [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while ago I think I was in a relationship with a women. I say, “I think” because I&#8217;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.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a process that happened over a few weeks time.  After ten years of marriage, she slowly began pulling away.  Little by little, she crept away from a life that she had built with her husband and withdrew into her own private life.  He could sense it.   That presence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s true.  I tell Mike to cut his losses all the time.  It might seem a bit contradictory, because I&#8217;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&#8217;t even [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;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&#8217;ve heard it said that, “If [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, Mike, let&#8217;s say for a minute that I buy your rationale.  I don&#8217;t&#8211;I think that the vast majority of the time the reason a man (or woman) holds back is that he (or she) doesn&#8217;t want to commit.  Maybe that&#8217;s because of where he/she is in life and maybe it&#8217;s the specific person in [...]]]></description>
