Relationship Status-Not Feeling The Love

Are you confused about you relationship status? If you are asking this question you probably already know the answer. It doesn't really matter what the reasons are, if you do not feel the love anymore it may be time to move on down the road.

Every couple will have a different reason for breaking up. Maybe you just don't communicate effectively. Maybe there are too many things the other one does that bug you and you find yourselves fighting all the time. If you can't stand to be in the same room with each other, this may be a sign that the two of you should be done.

Even though I said that it doesn't matter what the reasons are, let me give you some examples of reasons someone would want to know what their relationship status was anyway, ok?

Look out for behavior changes. Does your partner come home and do anything they can to stay away from you or not talk to you? How about making eye contact? Nope? Well, there may be something really wrong and you can try to ask them what it is. Be prepared for what you might get as an answer.

If they find excuse after excuse why they can't go here or there with you there could be a problem. Assess the situation and see if you can come up with a reasonable explanation. Maybe they don't feel good or something is wrong at work. Or, maybe they just do not want to be in the relationship any more and don't know how not to hurt you.

If you try to initiate an intimacy and they are not interested, you may have to investigate the possibility that they have something going on with someone else. All too often when one partner loses interest in being intimate it's because they have found someone new and are getting their needs met by someone else.

Have you noticed they are trying to hide when they are having conversations on the phone?Are they talking on the phone in the bathroom with the water running? Are they trying to hide what they are doing on the computer. Could be they are having a cyber-affair. If you notice that they have files on the computer that are suddenly password protected then you can bet they are keeping secrets and going behind your back.

If you do notice any of these behaviors then you should be the one to confront them and end the relationship. There is no use in prolonging the agony and ignoring the situation. The relationship is over and you have known it for a long time. When you do get down to the brass tacks and have your talk each of you will probably be so relieved you will wonder why you waited so long.

Life is too short to spend your time with someone you don't love and who doesn't love you back. The best thing you can do at this point is to admit what your relationship status really is and be all done with the whole thing..

Close Relationships-Keeping In Touch With Loved Ones

Close relationships are very important in life. They can help keep you feeling loved and have confidence in yourself. Having the support of your loved ones is probably one of the most important factors in your life. It may be easier when everyone is living at home but there are still ways to remain close when everyone moves out on their own.

The first and best way is to keep in touch as best you can. These days with the social networks, email and texting, keeping in touch is a whole lot easier than it ever used to be. I have a sibling that lives in Arizona and the social networks is exactly how we keep in touch. Being able to post pictures of each other's family to keep tabs on how everyone is growing is a big plus. We can watch each other's children grow up and even though we still miss stuff we do not feel so detached.

We decided to keep close relationships by contributing some of our favorite photos that we have taken throughout the year and sending them to each other in alternate years to put together a new photo album each year. That way when the holidays come around everyone can enjoy the new album along with the older editions.

Scrapbooking is huge with us, too. Each child has his or her own scrap book for different things that have occurred in our lives or our children's lives. Then, just like the photo albums we bring them along to holiday or other family gatherings for everyone to enjoy.

Now, of course, not every relationship can be all sunshine and roses all the time. To keep our relationships close we know how to handle those times when someone has a problem and is not realizing that they are snapping at everyone that gets in their way.

The best way to handle this type of problem is to really show that you care and ask what the problem is and offer to help any way you can. This shows the family member that you are concerned and willing to help if needed. When people come outside themselves and put themselves out there to help a loved one this helps the relationship stay close.

Confidence and self-assurance is also key to healthy relationships with other people. If you know who you are and are comfortable in your own skin then other relationships come easy, especially if the other person in the relationship is confident and self-assured. too.

Learn to listen to what others are saying. If you listen closely then you will hear and be able to decipher the signals they are sending out. You will be able to pick up on the nuances and subtleties of their speech and body language to discern their meanings.

Commit yourself to a daily ritual of learning to reflect upon yourself and your feelings. This may take some time to accomplish but do not give up. The better you get at it then you will be able to do the same with all your other close relationships.

Relationship Support-Tips To Revive Your Relationship

If you need relationship support and you do not know where to turn, take a minute and read this article. I will give you some tips on how to improve a stagnant relationship.

How do you spice up a boring relationship? First things first, the two of you need to have a serious talk. Set a time when you will both be home and have no other obligations. Make an appointment if you have to. Make sure the distractions are kept to a minimum so you can work this all out. If you have kids, send them over to grandma's house for the night.

Get some paper and a pen, start out by listing what is good about your relationship and what is bad or needs work. Make this list as complete as possible. Beside each item on the list under the heading "needs work", come up with ways to make each one better or go away if necessary. Be creative with your ideas, if you both end up laughing during this session so much the better, some things may be fixed just by having fun together doing this exercise.

Vow to make a commitment to each other that you will both strive to make things better. Start working together as your own relationship support and soon you will be happier than you have been in a long time.

Start doing little things for each other. When was the last time you bought him a card for no reason? Or you told her she was the best thing that has ever happened to you? Were you really just going to let this relationship die without fighting for it? That would have been a terrible shame. If the love is still there, then there is hope for the two of you to salvage your relationship.

Make yourselves a date night and stick to it, every single week. Do not let anything get in the way. Pick a favorite place to go or choose a different place each week, it doesn't matter as long as you keep the relationship fresh and exciting. A nice dinner and a movie or maybe a show at a dinner theater. Heck, even a local hockey game or high school football game would be fun. Any way to just spend some quality time together.

In addition to these suggestions, it wouldn't hurt to go see someone knowledgeable in helping couples stay together or putting their relationship back together if it has crumbled. sometimes you just can't do it on your own. So if you need a little boost while you are working on your relationship or there are issues that the two of you cannot work out this is your best option to make things better. A good counselor will work with you to come up with a compromise that is acceptable for both of you.

If communication is the biggest issue in your relationship the counselor can show you better ways to communicate with each other and give you homework so you can practice. No one is born knowing how to communicate effectively, it is a learned behavior. So do not feel badly if you have to ask for relationship support for the health of your relationship, feel good about it.

Define Your Relationship-Take Time Dont Push

When you meet that one person in the world meant for you and the two of you start a relationship, the best thing you should do first is to define the relationship. Some would say that you should not put much energy into a relationship right at the start, you should just go with the flow but, if the relationship is to be a successful one you should shape it and mold it right from the start. That way you can see early on out what kind of a relationship it is and what kind it is going to be.

Successful relationships do not just happen. They are successful because they are built on several key factors. Mutual respect is a very important factor. Mutual respect for each other tends to lead to trust which is also so important in a relationship. Love is fickle but if you have the love, respect and trust you are on your way to having a successful relationship. Relationships that have all these things just make it look easy.

Another way to help define your relationship is to get to know each other so well that you know how the other will react to any given situation at any given moment. Remember the old Newlywed Game? I always liked that show because you could really tell the couples who knew each other and the ones who had a lot of work to do to get to know each other. I would get a really good feeling about the ones who answered all their questions correctly, you just knew they had a good foundation.

Knowing what the other is thinking doesn't necessarily mean you have good communication skills. Although it does help, good communication skills take some time and effort to acquire. You are not just born with them. Having and using effective communication skills means you are able to take the other person's feelings and opinions into consideration without getting angry and lashing out.

Being able to make small decisions well makes it easier when having to make the bigger decisions down the road. A truly good relationship will start with how good each individual is. I don't mean good versus bad, I mean how mature, responsible, good communication skills. If each person brings those attributes to the relationship then the overall relationship will be better more often than not.

You hear all the time that good relationships are made up of good communication skills, but what the heck does that mean? Does it mean you know how to talk circles around your partner? No, of course not. It means that you can listen to each other with respect, you don't jump on every little thing that they say and that you learn how to accurately communicate your point without belittling your partner. Learn to do that and the two of you are on your way to having a good relationship.

We are definitely a society that needs for things to be spelled out and defined. It just seems to make people more comfortable when things are very clearly spelled out. when it comes to your relationship it's important to make sure that you each know what you want and what you don't want, figuring that out is how you best define your relationship.

Office Relationships-Not Always What They Are Cracked Up To Be

Office relationships are not all they're cracked up to be. Sneaking around, trying not to be seen by anyone you work with, lying and trying to keep all the lies straight is not an easy task. You start trying to justify what you are doing by trying to convince yourself that you found the one and your relationship is better than any other you have ever had. You must be very careful or you will most assuredly get caught.

When you first started working together, you didn't even really like each other but with the close proximity of working together you became fond of each other and one thing led to another. Now you want to work together for your future. Things were good before you met your secret lover. Now they are phenomenal. Some where along the line you decided it was ok to be a little selfish and start thinking only of yourself and what you want.

You deliberately push thoughts of your boss and coworkers and how they will feel when they discover your indiscretion(s) away and willingly enter into office relationships. At first you may feel the exhilaration that comes along with the danger of what you are doing and that feeling may keep you going back for more. The stolen moments are just that, stolen. your behavior at work has probably changed and the boss and coworkers know something is going on. You really are not hiding anything despite what you may think.

The hurt you can cause in a situation like this will only increase exponentially when you do get caught. The trust your boss and coworkers did have for you will be completely destroyed and you will most likely be fired. If you care about your job, or your lover's job, at all you will rethink continuing this relationship. Do not make your boss regret having hired you.

You and your secret lover are jeopardizing your current relationships, your livelihood and even that of your children, if you have some. Think about how they will feel when what you are doing results in you losing your job. Your coworkers may even feel betrayed but mostly you will become a couple of laughing stocks when this gets out.

Stop right now and think about what you are doing. Ask yourself if you really want to be responsible for destroying the lives of everyone involved. If you truly can say that you do not care about anyone but yourselves then go ahead with your plans. Just prepare yourself for the consequences because you will probably lose everything that was ever important to you and have to rebuild it all.

People who enter willingly into office relationships do it without concern for the other people in their lives and think of nothing but their own gratification. Doing this will cause you and everyone concerned nothing but trouble. You could probably make things work though if one of you quit and went to another company to work. Of course in this economy you may have trouble finding another job.

Relationship After Cheating-Kick Him To The Curb

You just found out that your spouse is cheating. What happens to your relationship after cheating is pretty much up to you at this point? Do you forgive and forget or do you kick him to the curb? Frankly, if it were me, I would kick him to the curb. You could never trust him again and, seriously, why would you ever want to try?

I don't like being played for a fool, he would be gone so fast he would not know what hit him. But then what? Where would you be then? All alone with no one to talk to? If you were really in love then the hurt would be completely devastating and it would take a lot of time to get over him. It would be difficult to enter into another relationship after cheating.

When you make the decision to kick him to the curb you automatically take control from him. You get you back and you get to start making the rules. No more passivity, no more depending on him for your happiness. Tell him that it is over and done then absolutely refuse to have any contact with him whatsoever. He is no longer worth your time. If he wants to talk to you he should do it through your lawyer.

Let the anger you feel be your guide, for now. Do not let it consume you because it will literally eat you up inside and you will not be good to anyone, especially yourself. So, use the anger effectively to get through the divorce and then learn to let it go. See someone to help if you need to but find a way to let it go.

One good way to vent your anger and other feelings is to start a daily journal. This is a way to track how you are dealing with the wrong that was done to you. You can vent all you like and say anything you want when you put it in a journal. Journal writing can be very cleansing, not to mention healing. It is there for you only to get your feelings out, no one can take that away from you.

You may feel some depression over the loss of the relationship and this is completely normal. If it doesn't feel like ti will ever get better then see your doctor or find a counselor to talk things out with. There are medications you can take short term to help with situational depression and so you can cope with the stress of daily life. Don't be afraid to take these medications they can and do help lots of people deal with depression. You can take them until you start to feel better then wean your doctor can help you wean off of them. Do not ever do it your self, always follow doctor's orders.

Eventually you will get to a good place both in your head and in your life where you can be happy and start looking for another relationship. This will take some time though so do not rush things. Stay connected to your feelings by continuing to write in your journal every night before you go to bed. Occasionally read back when you first started the journal and see how you have changed and progressed. You should see a natural progression of feelings and coping mechanisms that get you to where you can handle your relationship after cheating.

Powerful Relationships-Keep Them In One Piece

If you have powerful relationships that make you feel good about yourself then that is a great thing. A good relationship always makes you feel like you are on top of the world. I think that all relationships are powerful in their own way, especially in the beginning. Where would the attraction be otherwise?

Powerful relationships can be the best thing that ever happened to you or, frankly, the worst thing, too. Depends on the people involved. If the two of you are strong enough to let the other lead on occasion and one of you does not monopolize every situation then you probably have a pretty good relationship.

But, if one of you rides roughshod over the other and never lets up then that person will tire of the whole thing at some point and let the relationship go. I think that is why most of those dating services work as well as they do, because they use specific criteria to match people up together. Finding someone you are compatible with is a hard thing to do. Then learning to live together can be just as hard.

Too many people think they can fall in love and that will always make everything all alright. Love is a grand thing but if you live together, the honeymoon soon ends and reality moves in right behind you and will bite you in the butt. Soon you each are wondering what the heck were you thinking? Know why? Because no one ever takes the time to learn to live together. It is not an automatic thing. You have to teach yourselves how to be together.

This can be done separately but I would suggest you do it together. That way you will both be on the same page when it comes to how you handle things. Try this, one evening soon after you have moved in together, sit down and each of you write down what you expect of the other one in the relationship. This can be as small as who will be the one to take out the garbage to who will pay what bill. You could just pool your money and then pay the bills, keeping out what you both need to make it through the week.

I am not just talking about just living together, this should be done right after you get married, too. People are not born knowing how to live together but if you work together to accomplish this then the outcome will be worth the happiness you share together. Tell each other frequently that you love them, but more importantly than that, tell them that you like them and enjoy being around them.

Depending on the amount of time you have been together, you may already have the feeling of familiarity. This feeling of familiarity is made by the things you do together and the quality of that time spent in each other's company. Special moments spent together help create this history and a major sense of intimacy and helps keep powerful relationships in one piece.

Are Your Relationships Needs Being Met

A relationship has a much better chance of being happy and lasting long term if both parties’ relationships needs are being met. If your needs aren't being met then there is a much higher chance that the relationship won’t last. If your relationship has ended and you are trying to get back together and make it work, it is important to work on having relationships needs met for both partners.

To be able to get your needs met your partner must know what your needs are. They cannot try to meet your needs if they have no idea what they are. Good communication is essential for a happy relationship. Your partner will want to meet your needs but you must tell them what they are so they can do so.

Just as you need to tell your partner what your relationships needs are you also need to encourage your partner to tell you what their needs are. If you have never asked your partner about his needs before you may actually be surprised by what their needs are.

If you have the need to be told by your partner that they love you and you like to be told this often then you might assume that they have the same need. You may tell them often that you love them but in actual fact they may not have that need at all. I'm sure he enjoys being told that you love him but it might not be his need and his needs may be completely different and still not being met. Perhaps he prefers to be shown that you love him rather than being told.

A relationship can really be strengthened just by having this simple discussion and talking about your needs. You will find it so much easier to make each other happy when you know what the other person wants. You may feel a little uncomfortable talking about your needs but you should try to do it anyway, it really can help improve your relationship.

Your needs may be that you need your partner to help around the house a little more. Maybe you wish that he would help vacuum or tidy up but you don't like to ask for his help so you do it on your own. You may begin to feel some resentment toward him for not helping when in actual fact he has no idea that you would like his help around the house. It is very simple to ask for his help and he may be quite willing to do it. There is no point getting angry with him for not helping out or meeting your needs if you have never told him what your needs are.

If you stomp around vacuuming or slamming things around as you are tidying up then you are using passive aggressive behavior which is very common in relationships. Many people use this type of behavior when they become angry that their needs aren't being met when in actual fact it wouldn't be necessary if they just talked about their needs.

Talking about your needs instead of using passive aggressive behavior will make the relationship a much happier one and you won't be so angry and resentful.

If you use passive aggressive behavior he will just think you are acting like a spoilt brat and will only feel guilted into helping. If you talk to him and explain your needs then he will be much happier to help you.

Your needs could be varied and are not restricted to housework, it could be showing affection or feeling respected. People have many needs and you really should discuss your relationships needs to have a long and happy relationship.

Are You Suffering Relationships Depression

Relationships depression is not uncommon in those who are in bad relationships or those who have recently experienced a relationship breakup and then got back together. When you get back together after a breakup you may expect to feel happy that you are back together but often you can actually feel depressed because you know that the relationship does have its problems.

Most relationships will go through difficult patches from time to time and if you have had your share of problems but are still together then you should be happy right? If you are still together then there is no reason why you would suffer from relationships depression, so why do you?

When you are going through a difficult patch in a relationship you may experience all sorts of emotions. The reason for the difficult patch could be something that is hard to get over or forget. For example, if you were cheated on then even if you and your partner are still together you probably haven't forgotten about the cheating. It will take time to get over infidelity and regain some trust in your partner and for a long time you may worry about getting hurt again. It's completely understandable that you might feel depressed.

If you were the one who cheated in the relationship then you may become depression with the guilt of hurting your partner. You are happy that they forgave you but you may still feel an enormous guilt for the pain you caused them. You will also feel that your partner no longer trusts you and is suspicious of everything you do.

Even in a relationship when there is no cheating involved there may be other issues that can begin to depress you. If you and your partner reached a point of breaking up or almost breaking up, then there must be some issues that have caused the relationship to reach that point.

Even though you and your partner are still together you may wonder if they really do want to be with you and if a break up will occur in the future. You may become quite insecure about the relationship.

When a relationship is at a point of breaking up or almost breaking up then you do go through a rollercoaster of emotions. You may be living in fear of the relationship reaching that point again.

You may find yourself constantly thinking about anything that is wrong in the relationship and you may constantly worry about breaking up. This constant worry and negative thinking can lead to depression.

It is difficult living with someone when there is a lot of tension between you. Even if you get back together after a breakup you may feel that there are some issues that haven't been dealt with and until they are dealt with then there will always be a certain amount of tension.

It is great to save a relationship and stop a potential break up and it is great to get back together and save a relationship after a break up. However, the issues that caused the relationship to reach that point must be dealt with otherwise the relationship will not continue on a happy path and you can find yourself suffering from relationships depression.

Great Advice From Relationships Experts

A lot of what relationships experts will tell you is basic common sense. Although we often already know what they tell us, we don't really put it into perspective in our lives until we hear someone else say it. Relationships experts know how to communicate and they can help to explain to us what we already know, but in a way that we can understand and relate to.

Sometimes you just don't see the whole picture when you are stuck in the middle of things and a relationships expert can help you to see the whole picture. They can make you 'get it' when you are having trouble understanding. A relationships expert can help you to understand what to give and what to expect in a relationship, something that some people just don't 'get'.

Relationships often reach a point, after the honeymoon period is over, where couples may begin to take each other for granted. We stop all those romantic gestures and sometimes begin to just expect things, instead of appreciating them.

Often couples don't realize that they are taking each other for granted or not showing appreciation until the relationship comes to an end. If your relationship is showing signs of trouble then it might be beneficial to take advice from relationships experts to see where you can improve and fix what is going wrong.

To save a relationship that is in trouble, relationships experts may suggest to start doing small gestures that your partner will appreciate. Doing things that your partner will appreciate is really common sense but it is something we often forget to do. You can do these small gestures at any time, whether your relationship is in trouble or not.

Always try to show your partner that you care about what they like and what they do. You should always value and respect the other person's opinions even if you don't agree with them. You should have good communication and when you don't agree on issues then you need to try and reach a compromise that will keep both parties happy.

Tell your partner that you love him or show him that you love him by using romantic gestures. We all use romantic gestures when we first start dating but soon they get forgotten, so to get the spark back into your relationship you can start being romantic again and you might be surprised that he too will begin to be more romantic to you.

One more lesson the relationships experts will teach is to always have respect for your partner. Never take your partner for granted and always respect their beliefs, opinions and their interests. Don't make fun of them because you don't like a particular interest that they like. You don't have to like everything that they like but you do need to respect their interests.

It is too easy to become too relaxed in a relationship and lose that spark and with it we might lose appreciation of one another. Always try to appreciate your partner and treat them with respect and you should have a long and happy relationship.

How To Prevent Needing A Relationship Rescue Service

Have you found yourself wondering whether you need a relationship rescue service? Is your love life showing signs of trouble? Has your relationship gone stale? Do you find that you don't spend much quality time with your partner and there are no signs of affection between you anymore? Do you sometimes feel that your partner would rather be somewhere else instead of being with you?

There are many reasons why relationships go cold and quite often it can be saved. If you're partner isn't showing you any attention or affection it could be because she has other things on her mind. She may be worrying about health issues, about money or about her job. She may be feeling stressed and run down and just wants to relax when she gets home. Lack of attention and affection doesn't necessarily mean that she doesn't love you.

In any relationship communication is very important to work through these tough times. The book "The Magic of Making Up" by T Jackson is great at explaining how to improve communication in a relationship. He explains how most relationships actually break up as a result of a lack of communication than for any other reason. If a couple will not talk to one another then they have no hope of working through any problems they face.

If you have any worries or concerns about your relationship then they will only become worse if you cannot openly discuss them. Problems can seem much worse than they are and can become worse in your mind when they are not discussed and solved. If your partner doesn't know about your worries or concerns then they cannot do anything to help solve those issues. The longer problems go on without being dealt with the worse they become and then they are much harder to deal with.

If you have any issues in your relationship it is best to find a quiet time to talk together and discuss your feelings. You need to explain how you feel because you're partner isn't a mind reader and can't help you if you don't tell her. You also need to listen when she wants to talk and try to understand her feelings. When you both listen to each other and try to understand the other person’s feelings then it is much easier to work through any issues that arise.

A relationship takes hard work and communication is vital to success. You need to have trust and respect to be able to keep love alive and the relationship running smoothly. When you have good communication then you generally have trust and respect for one another.

Communicating with your partner is the best way to solve any issues and to keep your relationship happy and strong. If your relationship seems to be going stale then you need to talk about the problem and what you can do together to fix it. If you feel the relationship is going stale then there is a good chance that your partner feels the same way. If neither of you talk about it then it will continue to get worse until the relationship is beyond rescuing. But if you talk about the relationship and work through it together then you won't need a relationship rescue service, you will save the relationship together.

When You Need Space In A Relationship

Do you find that you need more space than you are getting in a relationship? Is your partner asking for more space in a relationship? There is no set space amount allocated to couples in a relationship as each couple is different and different people require different amount of space. Some couples are happy the most when they are constantly together while others find that they do need some time to themselves.

The most difficult part is finding a compromise so that both partners in the relationship are happy with the amount of space they have. It can become quite difficult if each partner has a different idea of how much space they need. One person may like a lot of time to themselves while the other may like to be together much more. You need to try and reach a point somewhere in between that you can both be happy with.

Some people just don't like to be alone and can become depressed when they get lonely. They like to always be spending time with someone whether it is their friends, family or their partner.

Some people just like to have a little bit of time alone each day to relax and relieve the stress of the day. They like some 'alone' time to have that solitude when they can be themselves and just completely relax.

Some people don't like being tied down to one person and like a lot of freedom. They like to go out with their friends whenever they want to and not have someone stop them. They might like to go to the gym or for a ride just to get some alone time. They really enjoy being able to do the things they love on their own.

These are three different levels of how much space a person wants and it is good to find a balance somewhere in the middle. It is good to have some time alone to relax and recharge and it is good to spend time with your partner also.

If both parties in a relationship fall into the middle range of how much space they need then that will work out really well. Or even if you both fall into the same category of needing lots of space or not needing much space at all, as long as you are both on the same level then it is easy to work it out.

Problems can occur when the two partners have completely different ideas of how much space a person should have. If one loves to spend lots of time alone while the other doesn't like to be alone, then it can be difficult to reach a compromise. If you really love one another then you need to try to understand the other person’s point of view and try to compromise.

If you can't reach a compromise then the person that doesn't like to be alone will feel neglected and lonely when the other partner often goes out on their own. At the same time, if a person likes to have lots of space they can feel smothered when the other partner is hanging around them constantly.

You need to communicate with one another and be honest about how you feel about how much space you need. If you don't communicate about how much space you both need then that may lead to problems if one feels neglected or smothered, so it's best to talk about it and reach some sort of agreement of the amount of space needed in your relationship.

Is Your Relationships Ready For The Next Level

Before you make any big changes in a relationship you always need to evaluate the current relationship. When you have been dating for a little while and are considering taking it to the next level in becoming intimate, you need to consider where you are and whether you are ready for that move. Also if you have been dating for quite a while and are considering marriage you will also need to carefully evaluate the relationship to make sure you are ready to take things to that level.

Although becoming intimate and getting married may seem like the next obvious step in your relationship, it isn't always as easy as it seems. Here are a couple of reasons why you should always carefully evaluate your relationship before moving to that next level.

1. If you don't take a good look at your relationship you could end up waiting too long and be in too deep to be objective in your evaluation. When you have fallen badly for this person you see the relationship through rose colored glasses and you may choose to ignore the small, annoying things. You may ignore any problems that you know are there but you just don't want to see.

If you know there are problems and are choosing to ignore them for now then you probably shouldn't be moving further into the relationship. You should try to recognize any problems and work through them or realize the relationship isn't meant to be and leave before it gets any more serious.

2. Sometimes early in a relationship people don't act like themselves and any negative habits or traits may be hidden or guarded carefully. If this is happening then it can be easy to move to the next level when you think everything is great, but when you get to that next level your partner may begin to show their true colors and you may feel like you've made a mistake.

With both of these situations it can be difficult to evaluate the relationship correctly and decide whether you really should move on to the next level.

Before moving on to the next level, whether it be getting intimate or getting married, you need to know your partner well and take a long, good, honest look at the relationship and where it is heading.

You should take your time when making the decision to move to the next level. Take your time so that you can see any warning signs if there are any, if you rush into things then you might miss the warning signs.

To have a successful relationship you need to be confident and happy within yourself so it is always important to make sure that you are happy and are confident before taking a relationship to the next level.

If you're partner is mistreating you in any way, don't fool yourself into thinking that they will stop doing this if you take the relationship to the next level. If anything, they will probably treat you worse, so if you are being mistreated now then it's best to end the relationship rather than move on to the next level.

If you evaluate your relationship and see that you are happy and truly in love then you can happily move forward to the next level with confidence knowing that you made the decision carefully. Those who don't take the time to evaluate often find themselves in unhappy, maybe even abusive, relationships.

Forget About Studying Relationship Psychology

If you are having trouble in your relationship and you and your partner just don't seem to be getting on very well lately then you may find yourself studying relationship psychology trying to work out what has gone wrong. You could end up driving yourself crazy in your attempt to find out what the problem is and there are better options that will benefit you more.

There are so many different books available about relationship psychology and they will all tell you something different, so how do you know which one is giving you the correct information? You really don't know who is giving you good information and the information that you need may also depend on your situation. Relationships can become trouble for various reasons so no one piece of advice will cover all relationship problems. There is a lot of theory behind relationships and different behaviors but whether those theories can help you is another story. Even trained counselors and relationship experts will often give the same advice to different couples when these different couples actually require different advice depending on their particular problems.

There are just so many different reasons why relationships have problems. Some couples will argue a lot over money, child raising opinions, sex or other reasons. Even when couples have similar problems, the way that people deal with those problems can vary quite a bit.

This doesn't mean that you can't find help to improve your relationship; you just don't need to study relationship psychology to get help. There is a great book available called 'The Magic of Making Up' that gives a lot of advice and much of what is discussed in this book can help with various relationship problems. It is a great self help course that will teach you to communicate better with your partner which can drastically increase the chance of improving your relationship.

Not all relationships can be saved and whether your relationship is salvageable or not may depend on the problems that have led to the current state. If a relationship is salvageable then this is the book that can help you save it. This book will help you to make that decision on whether it is worth saving your relationship and if so how to do it.

Too many couples will continue along in an unhappy relationship being in denial and not wanting to admit there is anything wrong. The longer a couple continues this way the bigger the problems will become. If there are problems in the relationship they won't disappear on their own, they need to be dealt with so you can move on and be happy together.

If you love your partner and want to save your relationship then forget about studying relationship psychology and focus on saving the relationship and making each other happy again.

Is There A Right Time To End A Relationship

If you are in a relationship that is having trouble you may find yourself wondering if there is a right time to end a relationship. Just how do you know when to make that decision that there is no future for you and your partner? If you have spent months or even years with this person it can be a very difficult decision to end that relationship.

Some people will find that they still love their partner but they know deep down that the relationship is going nowhere and they don't have a future together. But when you still love a person you don't want to let that relationship go. You will consider all the options including staying with the person hoping that your love will be enough to save the relationship.

There are other couples who think that their relationship is too difficult and just give up without really thinking it through and discovering whether there is a future or not. The problem with this is that often these couples are meant to be together and if they work at improving their relationship they could have a happy future together.

Then there are the people who are in a terrible relationship but they stay together and keep on trying to make it work. Their friends and family tell them they are wasting their time and they should break up but they continue in their failing relationship. Even when infidelity is involved, they stay together in the hope that the cheating partner won't do it again and everything will work out. In this scenario it is usually best to end the relationship but they just can't seem to make that decision and this is often because they are more scared of being alone than they are of staying in the relationship.

It can be very difficult to know when to end a relationship and you don't want to rush into making such a big decision. There are situations where it should be obvious such as an abusive relationship, but even in these cases many people still stay in the relationship. There is no excuse for abuse and if you are being abused then you should make that decision immediately to end the relationship. There are no second chances and there is no point telling yourself that it will get better because it rarely does in this type of situation.

If you're partner has cheated on you then it can be difficult to make the decision to leave. If he has only cheated once there is a good chance it may never happen again and you can work through it. If he has been cheating for a long time or has cheated on more than one occasion then it isn't likely that he'll change and you really should consider moving on.

There is no easy way to know the right time to end a relationship and it will all depend on each individual situation. Sometimes it is helpful to take a break for a couple of days on your own so you can clear your head and have a good think about the situation. Take a good look at the relationship and what has been happening and then decide whether this is the person you really want to spend the rest of your life with. Then you can decide whether the relationship is worth saving or whether you should end it now.

What Is The Secret To Relationships-Common Sense

I'm sure if there were secrets to relationships someone would be making millions of dollars selling that secret. Although there is no secret as such there are many things that you can do to help keep your relationship strong and happy. Relationship secrets are really just common sense but they are things that over time we forget to do.

1. Love. Obviously a relationship needs love to survive and being in love is not enough if your partner doesn't know that you love them. You need to show each other that you love one another and you need to feel comfortable telling your partner that you love them.

2. Secondly you need to have respect in your relationship. If you don't respect one another then there really isn't much hope for a long and happy relationship. There is no point to being with someone that you don't respect and no point being with someone that doesn't respect you.

3. Always treat your partner with kindness. I'm sure you don't like it when people are nasty to you and your partner also wouldn't like it if they are treated nastily. Sometimes we take one another for granted and can be sarcastic and a bit nasty without meaning to be. We often treat strangers more kindly than we treat family so make a point to be kind to your partner.

4. Be thoughtful of your partners needs and do little things now and then to make him happy. It is amazing how much small gestures can make someone happy and improve a relationship.

5. Always be honest in a relationship. You cannot build a relationship on lies or when the truth does come out everything will fall apart. Always be honest and build your relationship on honesty and trust.

Although these are not secrets they are important to a relationship and they are what relationships need to survive and be happy. When you haven't been doing these things it can be difficult to get back into the habit of them but it is worth putting in that effort.

These are not hard things to do and they are things that you should do with someone that you love. Kindness, honesty and respect will go a long way to making a relationship happy and strong.

There is more to a relationship than just existing with one another. You need to show each other that you love one another and this can be done with simple little expressions of love such as giving him a hug when he gets home from work or cooking his favorite meal and eating it by candlelight.

Sometimes relationships can take a bit of work to make them strong and happy but over time these things will become natural and you will both be much happier with one another. If you can do these small, common sense things then you have found the secret to relationships.

Do You Wonder Why Women Leave Men

If you are getting worried about your relationship and have concerns that your girlfriend or wife is going to leave you then you may be wondering what some of the reasons are that women leave men. There is no one reason that suits all situations, there are a number of different reasons why women leave men.

In a relationship there can sometimes be little things that one person might not like but they have tolerated it for a while. But after a while that little thing becomes really annoying and they don't want to tolerate it anymore. Then every time this thing happens they can get angry and that little thing can seem like one big annoying thing.

Then there are other little frustrations and hurts that can occur and even though they may be small little incidents, they can add up over time. When little frustrations build up over time they can end up being one big frustration and at some point the woman will have had enough and will just leave. It is important to know the warning signs of trouble in a relationship so that your relationship doesn't reach that point.

If you think you know what women want you may need to think again. Many men have the wrong idea of what women want, they think they are needy and high maintenance and this is usually completely wrong. You should stop thinking of your wife or girlfriend as a woman but instead think of her as a person. Treat her the same way that you like to be treated, the same way that all people like to be treated.

Some men will put their woman on a pedestal and treat her like a porcelain doll and worship her. Some men will treat their woman like a whore or even like a surrogate mother. Neither of these approaches is good for a relationship, you should treat a woman like a human being, like an equal, like an individual who wants to be treated with respect.

You also need to understand that all women are different so don't expect your wife or girlfriend to act a certain way or like certain things just because your last girlfriend did or because your mother does. You need to treat the woman as an individual because that's exactly what she is, she will have her own likes and dislikes and will act the way she acts.

When a woman leaves a man it is often because she is unsatisfied in some way. She may not be getting her needs met, she may not be treated with respect; she may want more from the relationship.

Your wife or girlfriend should be your best friend. You should talk to her like you would talk to your best friend, treat her like she's important and treat her with respect. Show her affection and know that you are still attracted to her even after all this time.

If you are asking yourself why women leave men, well it could be for any number of reasons, but generally because they are not being treated with the respect they deserve.

How To Get Love Back Just Think It Through

Have you broken up from a relationship and wondering how to get love back? Being in love is such an amazing feeling but it can be absolutely devastating if that love ends. The ending of a relationship can be the worst feeling in the world.

If you find yourself in this situation and want to know what you can do to make amends and get love back then why not try the following steps.

Firstly you need to have a really good think about the relationship and work out if it is definitely over. Is it possible that you are 'just taking a break' or is it really over for good? Some couples do decide to take a break and spend some time apart with the possibility of getting back together and making it work. Others do break up with the intention of not getting back together but over time realize they were wrong and they get back together again. Then there are those relationships that are just not meant to work and those relationships are not worth trying to save.

If you think that your relationship is one that is worth saving and your ex is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with then you can take steps to try and work things out. If you hurt your ex in any way then you need to make it clear that you are sorry for what you did. If you have changed as a person and she doesn't love that new person then you may need to consider going back to the person you once were - the person she fell in love with.

You shouldn't rush her into coming back to you, if she is hurt or angry then she might need some time to herself to think things through and workout what she wants to do with this relationship. Remember that you cannot force someone to love you and if she just doesn't love you anymore then it may be time to move on.

When you are trying to get love back, don't appear desperate as this will be a big turn off for your ex. You need to act mature and show her that you have changed and that you are prepared to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work. Don't go calling her every five minutes or sending her hundreds of text messages. Give her the space that she needs right now to calm down and think things through.

After a week or so then give her a call and perhaps ask her to meet you to talk things through. Don't beg her to come back to you, but just apologize again for hurting her and let her know that you still love her. Tell her that you really want the relationship to work and that you want to talk things through and work on the problems within the relationship. An apology on its own is not enough to convince a woman that you have changed and that you will really put an effort into the relationship, you need to talk to her, listen to what she says and show her that you care about her feelings and opinions and want to work together to build this relationship.

Getting over love can be very difficult but remember that if she really doesn't want to get back with you then you need to accept that and move on. However, if you can sit and talk to her maturely and she decides that she does still love you and would like to give it another go, then don't go straight back to what you were doing before you broke up, you need to change and remember everything she talked about and really make an effort to make it work.

Lost Love And How To Deal With It

You can be on top of the world when you are in love and then feel like a sinking ship when it ends. If you have lost love and have found yourself alone then you may be struggling to deal with it. When I lost love I told myself to put it down to experience and you can learn from your experiences. By using your lost love to learn from you can then move on with your life with a much better understanding of love.

I remember one love in my life that I thought was 'the one'. He broke my heart and I thought I would never get over it, I believed that we were meant to be together and that there had to be some way to get him back. I didn't think I would ever fall in love again and really didn't want to; all I could think about was this one lost love.

That is when someone said to me 'put it all down to experience' and I took that on board and kept reminding myself of that. I would remind myself that this relationship had just been part of my life experience in the incredible journey of life. It was an experience that I had to have to move on and become the better person that I am today. It was because of this lost love and how I used it to learn from that I was able to move on and find a much better and stronger love.

You will find happiness again after losing love but it may take some time to get there. A broken heart doesn't heal overnight and those memories will remain in your mind for a long time. But as time passes they become more distant and you will begin to forget your ex and that love you felt for him. He may always have a special place in your heart, but make that special place one that you accept as being in the past so you can move on and give your heart to someone else.

You can think back and analyse your relationship and see what went wrong. Did you do something wrong? Were you too possessive? Were you too clingy? Didn't you trust him? Did you flirt with other guys? There can be a number of reasons why a relationship ends and they may or may not be due to something you did. Sometimes people just fall out of love.

If you do find that there was something you may have done to cause the relationship to end, then this is your opportunity to learn from that and avoid it happening again in the future. If you were possessive and didn't trust him then this is something you could work on to improve your own self confidence and learn to trust.

No matter how heartbreaking it is when a relationship ends, you will get over it at some point and you can walk away from the relationship with some good memories. You can also walk away from the relationship with new skills that you can learn and grow from and a whole new attitude to life.

Any negative circumstance in life can be used to learn from and then start again with a new, more positive approach. Try to see the positive aspect of any situation, even though that might seem difficult at first, and you can grow from the experience.

Lost love is heartbreaking, but learn from it and grow and you will find love again, a much stronger love and you will be much happier.

I Just Want Him To Love Me Again

Women all over the world feel unloved and just want their man to love them again. When a relationship loses it spark and there is no intimacy left then a woman is often left saying to her close friends 'I want him to love me again'.

Some women may be on the bad end of a divorce or breakup but just can't seem to get over their ex and think of nothing else but wanting to get back that man and his love. Some women may be the instigator of the divorce or breakup due to a lack of intimacy in the relationship, but later feel they have made a mistake and hope that there is some chance of rekindling the relationship. There are women worldwide facing similar situations and the one thing that they have in common is that they all want that love back.

If you are in a position where you want to win back the love of your man you need to look at the relationship you had and wonder if there was anything missing in that relationship. What do men need? Men need attention and they like to know that you still find them attractive and that you admire him.

While you may know that you love him, admire him and want him, it might not be so obvious to him so it doesn't hurt to tell him now and then how much you love him. Don't just tell him but show him that you love him, flirt with him a little and bring back the spark into the relationship. When a relationship goes on a woman will put less effort into the relationship, and so do men to some degree. A woman may start to dress more casually and just wear sweats around the house and forget about wearing make-up or sexy clothes, but men still like to see you looking nice. Just because they live with you doesn't mean they don't want to see you looking good.

Did your husband or boyfriend leave you for another woman? Or do you lack trust in him and have convinced yourself that he has been seeing another woman? Women can sometimes become a little paranoid about their men looking at other women and then perhaps taking that even further. A woman always think that if their man has left them for another woman that it would be a beautiful woman when that isn't always the case. If their ex is dating an average looking woman then the wife will wonder what he sees in her. You should know that looks are not what your man is looking for, but it is respect and admiration that he wants from a woman.

When you are your ex were together did you nag him all the time? Was he always complaining about your nagging? Is it possible that you nagged him because you weren't happy with him the way he was? A man wants his woman to be satisfied with him for who he is, not for who she wants him to be. If you were constantly nagging him then he most likely felt that you weren't happy with him the way he is.

All relationships move past the initial honeymoon stage where admiration and flirting are constant, but unfortunately some of them lose the spark completely. You don't need to get back to that honeymoon stage because no relationship can stay at that stage forever, but there needs to be a happy medium. If you love your man and are proud of him and respect him then you need to let him know. You need to show him your love so he doesn't feel like you take him for granted.

If you have been saying to yourself "I want him to love me again" then consider what might have gone wrong in your relationship and what you can do to make it right again.

How To Get Over Someone You Love

Going through a break up is never an enjoyable experience. Even if the two of you split up on friendly terms, there will be some negative feelings. You will feel hurt, angry, guilty and confused. Such emotions are to be expected, but there is one feeling that may be harder to deal with, and that is how to get over someone you love. Don't worry, all of this is completely normal.

Before you start trying to get over your ex, you need to make sure that's what you really want to do. Your emotions will be running high after a break up, and it's easy to confuse one feeling for another. So, it's very possible that the reason you can't get over them is because you don't want to...you just think you do.

Yes, it can be confusing, so you need to calm down first. You need to let the dust of the broken relationship settle for a while before you make any permanent decisions. There is always a chance that you will realize that you want to try to work things out. However, for the rest of this article, we will assume that you have already thought it through and now you need to know how to get over someone you love.

Getting your ex out of your mind can be tricky, but it is possible. A lot of amateurs in giving out relationship advice will tell you to focus on all of the bad stuff your ex did. The thinking here is that hating them will erase them from your memory, but the opposite is true. It will only amplify their memory and it's not fair to your ex.

A better way is to forgive your ex for all of the bad stuff they may have done. This will take away any of the power they still seem to have over you. It will also allow you to start moving forward with your own life, which takes us to the next step.

While you won't be able to completely erase the memory of your ex from your mind, you can overpower it for a while. The way to do this is to go out and life your life to the fullest extent possible. The more things you have to occupy your time, and occupy your mind, the less space there will be for you to think about your former partner.

Finally, when it comes to how to get over someone you love you need to be realistic. It isn't about forgetting about them 100%. After all, if you had good memories together, you should be able to look back on those in the future. But, you need to be able to move forward, so it's important to get them out of your mind, especially right after the break up. Then, after a bit of time goes by you can start to think about them in a healthy, well-adjusted manner; without it making you feel upset.
