There are two fears that constantly appear over and over again when it comes to people in failing relationships. The first one is the fear of abandonment. This is the overwhelming worry that anyone that gets close to you will leave. You become clingy, needy and demanding and will do anything to keep this person [...]

We All Want The Same Thing.
As human beings, we all want the same things; to find someone who will love and respect us for life. To be cared for. To feel happy and safe every day. So in knowing that we all want the same thing why are there people out there still playing the stupid pathetic mind games? The [...]
Stop Calling Us Crazy
The majority of the time when a guy has gone through a recent break up you’ll hear him describe his ex as “Crazy” or a “Psycho bitch”. Was she really crazy though? Did she try to kill you in your sleep? She did she have multiple personalities and you never knew what you were coming [...]
Break-Ups Aren’t Rocket Science
Relationships are the biggest part of our lives and when we are ancient and going through the memories of our lives, we aren’t going to be thinking about the little things. We won’t be thinking about our grades or our studies or how much chocolate we did or didn’t eat. We are going to be [...]
Are Break Ups More Difficult Nowadays?
Dating in the age of social media is becoming more difficult. And so is breaking up. Whilst social media platforms help you connect with people they don’t necessarily help you disconnect from people you never want to see again. In the 90s, it was easier.

Why We Don’t Date Anymore
When people say the word dating I think of; candlelit dinners in fancy restaurants or a romantic comedy in the cinema or even going bowling. I’d class those three events as possible date locations. Whatever it is the couple plan on doing as their date, I always believe a date involves you leaving your house. [...]
The Friend Zone Doesn’t Exist
For those who don’t know, the Friend Zone is where someone gets rejected as a romantic partner but the two people involved are still happily friends. However, the one who gets rejected continuously tries to get into the other persons’ pants. Or they continuously moan to their mates about being stuck in the “Friend Zone”. [...]
Valentine’s Day is Pretty Pointless.
When you’re younger you are taught that Valentine’s Day is this special day set aside for you and your other half to spend time together, spoiling one another. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve realised if the relationship is real enough you shouldn’t even need to celebrate Valentine’s Day. On Valentine’s Day, back when I [...]
