Finding Your Mate: From “The Right One” to “A Good One”

Couple celebrates finding their soulmate in one another
Singles come to me to help them find love. One of the things I commonly hear is, “I want to find Mr./Mrs. Right” or “I want to find ‘The One.’” Even clients who are in a relationship ask me, “How do I know if the person I’m with is ‘The One’?” One of the common criteria I hear that people use to determine if their partner is a good fit is whether there are problems while dating or in a relationship. “Anita, if you’re with the right person, you’ll rarely experience conflict.

How do I get my boyfriend back?

I’m going to be honest with you because, well, because I don’t know any other way to be. It probably ain’t going to happen. Break ups happen because they’re supposed to happen.

3 Ways To Fix His Porn Addiction

Man addicted to watching online porn
It’s a situation most women have nightmares about! One night you’re feeling a little tired so you go up to bed before your man. He has some “work” to finish off, so you go upstairs and let him get on with it. Instead of turning your light out right away, you decide to read a few pages of that new book you downloaded. You get a little thirsty so you head back downstairs to grab some water. It’s when you’re about half way down your stairs that you see it… The man you love is sitting in front of the computer, his headset on, penis in hand, and a naked woman gyrating on the monitor with a man between her legs. There’s no mistaking it. You stand for a couple of minutes just to prove you’re not seeing things.  But no, your man is definitely pleasuring himself watching porn. Read more
