Today I have very basic, yet powerful advice for you ladies. Men and women think VERY differently. Men don’t read into everything like women do. If you get a text message from us that says, “Shall we meet up later?” we actually do mean, “Shall we meet later?”
If we say, “I’m tied up today. Can we do tomorrow?” We really mean, “I’m tied up today. Can we do tomorrow?”
There’s not any hidden agenda or underlying secret. 99% of the time, we mean what we say. You don’t always need to analyze what we’ve said, or try to second-guess what we’re thinking. Don’t waste hours thinking, “Hmmm, what does he mean by, he’s tied up today? Does that mean he’s seeing another woman? What’s he thinking? Does he want me to chase him?” Read more

In my last blog I wrote about common myths about cheating. Research indicates that infidelity is on the rise, with more relationships being affected by it. If good people are cheating, how can you tell if your partner (who I’m pretty sure you think is a good person) is cheating on you? It’s not easy to detect given that most affairs are not discovered.
Although people can be very effective at compartmentalizing their lives that their affairs are never discovered, there are a few things to consider if you have any suspicions. You can’t tell if your partner is cheating based on just one piece of evidence, but you can look for a pattern of behavior that’s different from the norm in your relationship. Read more
All men put up that burly, manly act. They act like the only thing that can get them emotional is their favorite team winning (or losing) in overtime. But, here’s the truth: Men are humans.
