Dumped!
by Chloe

Incorporating Your Values into Your Relationships
by Chloe
For all of us, our values come from different places. Some of us are taught deep, long-lasting values by our parents. Others learn their deepest and most important values in their place of worship. Still others find their values along the way, looking at the lives and values of great people and using them to create a clear view of how life should be. How to live your life, what is right or wrong, what is evil or good... all of us have opinions on these subjects that are deep and unshakeable.

Patching Things Up: 4 Steps for Reuniting with Your Ex
by Chloe
All relationships hit rough patches. Some relationships sail right on through, while others break apart on the waves. Just because a relationship ended doesn't mean that the feelings you had for that person are gone, or vice versa. And just because things didn't work out the first time doesn't mean that the relationship isn't meant to be. To press the nautical metaphor, sometimes you can repair that broken old boat and push it right back out to sea.

She’s not ready. When a man is ready to be part of a committed relationship, he’s generally pretty gung-ho about it-- sometimes a lot sooner than he should be. And while that’s very sweet, it can also be a bit off-putting to a woman who needs more time.

Did you ever want something so much that you wouldn't listen to those around you or even to yourself? Being in love is a powerful intoxication even when the door is opened for a second "kick at the cat".
