While going through rough patches here and there in a relationship is normal, you should never feel completely and utterly mentally or physically exhausted — especially if you’re the only one feeling that way. Not feeling emotionally supported by your partner in your relationship can lead to mental health issues and it can affect other parts of your life such as losing focus at work or becoming distant from family and friends....
Not only are there much worse things that can and do happen every single day, but acne on the butt is also a thing, and woe betide those of us who it suddenly decides to plague.

You’ll wake up one morning, open your curtains, and feel the light pass through your skin. You will feel warmth. The rays of sunlight won’t burn your flesh. Instead, they will nourish you. You will feel alive. You will have suddenly regained the strength to stand on your own feet again without breaking apart. You will embrace the sound of your feet walking away from the things that aren’t meant for you....
Do you feel that despite all the dysfunctional patterns, you know how to love with no conditions? They just haven’t learned to appreciate it yet? All of us are called to grow in love, both giving and receiving it, healing that within ourselves which prevents us from loving unconditionally. In a certain sense, our soul journey is a Ph.D. in love. Unconditional love is the highest expression of the divine, of the essence of our own soul....
Receiving a text with a simple “I miss you” can brighten your day and show you that they care. Unfortunately, it can be hard to know when a Taurus man misses you when you aren’t together. Sometimes they may need a little help along the way. Taurus men are stubborn signs who will not admit they miss you easily. They are not forthcoming with their feelings and it takes a while to get them to talk about their emotions....
Whatever the case may be, if you could know how people are feeling and what they’re thinking, would you want to? Fortunately, you can learn how to read people’s energy and vibrations, channeling this powerful skill. What is energy reading?

“Marriage is like the lottery,” says James Sexton, “you’re probably not going to win, but if you win, what you win is so good that it’s worth buying a ticket.” Sexton is a New York-area divorce lawyer and the author of the book If You’re In My Office, Its Already Too Late. In his two decades on the job, Sexton’s led more than 1,000 couples through divorce. His bluntness stems from his keen understanding that wedded-bliss can easily go bust....
People with commitment issues may be full of fear, experiencing a near constant state of emotional conflict caused by their negative, often irrational beliefs about love and relationships. In relationships, they may create significant confusion, havoc, pain, and anguish as their behaviors are often insensitive, unpredictable and bizarre. If you think someone you’re dating has commitment issues, even if that person is you, there are certain behaviors you can watch out for....
Most self-help books suggest we can change behavior in 21 days. Spiritual writings suggest 40 days. But they forget to mention “flip-flopping” time. That’s when you start on days 1 and 2 with new behavior, but then on day 3, you are back in your old behavior and old negative self-talk. Frequently, we spend the first five-eight days flip-flopping and then give up. And when you revert to your old behavior, you tend to beat yourself up....

She is the one who will hide from the world and play quietly in the corner, hoping to remain in the shadows, unnoticed. This child always returns when life becomes too much. In the past, she has held the space for long enough periods to enable previously constructed foundations to crumble and rot. And I have let her. I didn’t give her the attention she required and just let her get on and do whatever she pleased — which was pretty much nothing....
I couldn’t call off my wedding. Everyone who knew us thought marrying Ryan was a no-brainer. We’d been dating since our sophomore year of college. We met at a Halloween party at a mutual friend’s apartment; he was a yeti, I was a big-game hunter, and the minute he took off his shaggy head I fell in love with his big brown eyes. We sat on the fire escape until two in the morning trying to top each other with all the exotic places we dreamed of traveling to....
“How’s everybody doing out there tonight? Dave Dubois* here, getting ready to kick off another commercial-free hour right after these messages.” I pick up the phone and dial. “Mix 106,” says Dave’s voice on the other end. “Hey,” I say, careful to speak softly so I don’t wake up my parents in the next room.

I was 15 when I met him. It was at a friend’s birthday party, and he was from another school, a friend of a friend or a cousin of a friend. We played ping-pong and pool, and he said he liked that I was not one of those girls who sat and watched the boys play, hoping the boys would notice them. He was tall and strong looking, handsome and clean cut with a quick wit and ready smile....
But sometimes we keep secrets because we may feel like we will be harshly judged and don’t want to invite the criticism that may follow. Often, we just simply don’t know who we can trust with sensitive information because it might illicit unwanted gossip. For example, you would never know I have an “open” marriage. I’m not the lady in the 4-inch heels at school pick-up that wears skin-tight jeans or has DD implants....
RELATED: Groom Exposes Cheating Wife At Wedding By Playing Video Of Her Affair With Brother-In-Law As if jumping into fast forward, another streaming video loop of everything I want to eat tomorrow, how I want to fit in every possible moment of exercise, and how the activities of my day might interfere with either of those things won’t stop playing in my head. I roll to the other side, my overtaxed body as uncomfortable as my overtaxed mind, and I try to relax once again....
Some of them dating sites. Some of them porn. All of them gay. There had been some changes to his behavior since finding out I was pregnant, and I’d chalked them up to feeling the pressures of the American man to “provide” or whatever. The night I found out I was pregnant, he hadn’t come home. A few other nights he also hadn’t come home. These kinds of uncharacteristic rebellions became semi-normal, but never comforting....
My parents were Mormon, my grandparents were Mormon, my cousins were Mormon, and my brothers and sisters were Mormon. Even my closest friends were Mormon. And I was Mormon. Like most religions, there are different types of Mormons. There are Mormons who no longer want to be Mormon, Mormons who aren’t active Mormons but still consider themselves to be Mormon, and Mormons who try to live Mormonism to its fullest....
Add to that what a teacher of mine described as a “mature face” and I’ve basically looked 25 since I was 14. (At this rate, I can’t wait to turn 30 and have people ask if I’ve written my last will and testament yet.) Combined with the fact that most of my friends in high school were in college or older already, it’s not insane that most new people — and guys — I met assumed I could at least buy booze legally, if not rent a car, before I even had my learner’s permit....
With another war being waged by men against a women’s right to choose, the Idaho House voted 51-14, with no Democratic support, to pass an abortion bill that would allow potential family members to sue any doctor who performs an abortion during a pregnancy longer than six weeks. Idaho’s abortion ban will give rapists’ families more power over women’s bodies than women themselves. The bill would allow the potential father, grandparents, siblings, aunts, and uncles of a fetus to sue an abortion provider for a minimum of $20,000 in damages within four years of the procedure....
