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:

In his last post, Mike said, “But, if you are simply filling a void with fantasy it makes no sense to me that the fantasy has to be a real person.” I guess he’s right, but that’s a big conditional. I think what his statement really means is that he and I differ about something [...]

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.

In her recent post, Tiffany points out that the “friend zone” is a mythical place. Personally, I don’t think that the “friend zone” is a zone at all. I think it’s more of a place in time. It’s a page or even a chapter in our lives where we are simply not open to romantic [...]

Recently, I entered into a bit of debate with my sister on my personal blog about the value of romantic delusions. Of course, “delusions” is my construction; she wasn’t actually arguing that delusions were valuable, but that what I termed “delusions” sometimes came true, if only for a moment. Even if girls who lived in [...]

As I was driving home today, it occurred to me that there must be thousands of other cars that I come across in a day but none of them really stand out. There’s traffic in my lane, oncoming traffic and traffic down the side streets that I pay little attention to. There [...]
