Poop buddies: here’s what happens to couples who poop with the door open “Did I just hear a plop?” Just like with the first fart, this moment is pivotal in determining the next stage of your life as a couple.
When you first begin dating someone, you attempt to pull off an Oscar-worthy acting performance by pretending you’re the easiest person to be around, because you have no flaws. Those flaws include not worrying about money when going out on a date, being down for anything just to impress this person and being devoid of normal bodily functions. The latter of which is surprisingly one of the toughest benchmarks to overcome in your attempt at turning this whole thing from dating into a real, long-lasting relationship. You see, at some point the other person is going to understand that you don’t have the finances for fancy Italian dinners where the…

When I was younger, Allison (not her real name) was a coworker (not our real relationship) from Boston (not her real hometown) who I got to know after working on a project together at our job over a few months at a company that hired us when we were freshman in college. During our sophomore year, she quit about a month after she started going out with her new boyfriend. She moved into the dorms at school, but didn’t show up to any of the classes we had together outside of exams. With a brand new iPhone and car keys instead of the student discounted bus pass, it was pretty…

Life is full of liars. It’s a sad sad fact. Whether it’s your bank manager, your boyfriend, or your next-door neighbor telling you that he definitely didn’t scratch your car, people lie.

10 questions to ask before saying “I do” He's about the pop the question—but first you need to ask a few of your own.
He’s about to pop the question, but first you need to ask a few of your own. In 1001 Questions to Ask Before You Get Married, author Monica Mendez Leahy hopes couples will probe into their partners’ psyches before they say “I do.” Some may seem silly: “Are you a light or heavy packer?” Or simple: “Do you consider yourself a morning or night person?” but they all provide insight into your mate’s habits and characteristics you’ll be living with, well, forever. And though Leahy stresses the importance of each question, we asked her to pick her top ten most important questions to ask before hitching up. Let’s roll them…

Let’s talk about sex… But how? You both know what you want in bed. Now find out how to ask for it!
It’s the classic sex act every woman hopes she’s never asked to perform. “Tonight, I’d like to pretend we’re strangers—you’ll be wearing a gigantic raccoon costume answering to the name ‘Mayuka,’ and I’ll be in a studded leather diaper—we’ll meet at a boarding school for kid wizards and spank each other with stiletto heels while Teletubbies plays in the background. And let’s film it!” OK, so your partner has never approached you with a bedroom request quite that elaborate…at least, one would hope he hasn’t. But chances are, at some point, he’ll reveal a desire to you that at best catches you off guard, and at worst makes you wonder…

15 signs you’re in danger of cheating on your partner These gateways to cheating will lead to biting the forbidden apple—or at the very least, a breakdown of trust.
Sometimes what you may think is innocent behavior is anything but. While these seemingly meaningless acts don’t need to be preformed out of spite — or even a desire to be unfaithful — they can be gateways to cheating or show that your mind really isn’t all that focused on monogamy, as well as break down your trust in each other. Sharing intimate secrets When you start confiding in a member of the opposite sex about deep, dark secrets — your hopes and dreams in life, your rough childhood — instead of your spouse, you start going down a slippery slope of creating an intimate connection with the wrong person.…

The art of the introduction The art of a great introduction will time and time again lead you to a world of opportunities. Here's everything you need to know.
We talk a great deal about how important first impressions are in business, but suggestions are almost universally spelled out for our own self-improvement, leaving out how we affect the first impressions that others make through our introductions. A bad introduction can cripple a conversation, and sour relationships, whereas a good one can make a conversation not only informative, but useful, as it can lead you and people around you to a world of opportunities down the line. I attended a conference with a friend recently. Overwhelmed by seeing so many colleagues and friends, she became engaged in conversation with everyone we met, often forgetting to introduce me.

The no-BS way to find Mr. Right: date hundreds of men If you are looking for a job, would you apply for one job and then sit home waiting for that one call? No!
Two of my girlfriends and I were having dinner last week and the question about their dating life came up along with a lot of groans. Victoria bellowed, “does the dating BS ever end?” We all laughed, but then I very seriously said “Yes, of course it does.” We are all in our late 40′s and until a year ago were all single. I broke the dysfunctional dating cycle and got married. For the past year, I have been writing about my dysfunctional dating scenarios and how I finally figured out the formula to finding a life partner. I truly meant it when I told Victoria that “yes,” ending the…

Shields up! 3 ways to defend your brain against complaining children Neuroscience says whiney children not only annoy us—they actually impair our brain function. We have countermeasures.
We all know it’s not fun to listen to people complain—whether they’re coworkers, friends, or even, or perhaps especially, your own children. But did you know that neuroscience now says their negative complaining energy can actually impair your brain function? According to Inc., you should take steps to defend your brain from excessive complaining. The article profiles entrepreneur Trevor Blake’s book Three Simple Steps: A Map to Success in Business and Life, which examines data from neuroscientific studies.

The Bedroom is THE most important room in the home. It is important that it be a restful, inspiring and sensual place that we love being in. If we can’t truly rest there, everything in our lives is impacted, including our love life, our ability to make money, health and family relationships and the way we feel about ourselves. This is the place that we interact with our significant other in the most intimate way.
