Ouch! Sounds like a sour note to end on but don’t get too discouraged. It’s just as important to recognize what you do not want in a potential date, as much as knowing the qualities you desire. Maybe he had an extra helping of spring fever or he wen…
Ok....so I went out with the before mentioned guy and it started out great. I was having a fantastic time until the end of the night came and he was trying to take things way too far...far past my comfort level for a first date. I mean come on...can…
Hey Jeff, I have heard of this... what a great solution!
It is grief. Think of it as the death of something very important to you. An idea or dream that defined who you were and you are still attached to it. It's gone, but I know what it's like. It's hard to get over it when you are visited by the "ghost"…
My two kids split a room in the house I am renting. Luckily it's a long skinny room. My sister helped me come up with a cool way to divide the space. I installed a rod across the room and strung a series of long curtains across the rod. It can be pu…
I doubt I can offer much, 'cause I'm a guy and I don't really care about my bedroom. It's for sleeping & storing stuff.
I share the smaller of 2 bedrooms with my kids, who are with me on alternating weekends. When my older boys are there, too, ther…
I think we do build walls around ourselves to protect us...I know I am very guilty of that! And it is hard to break out of that. But if you don't try, you will never know, and you will just have to wonder..for the rest of your life! Listen to your i…
Hey Vanessa,
I think it is great you are able to save some money this way. Here are my tips: Hobby Lobby has a cute chest that doubles as a bench. You could use it to store toys and divide space. It would be very functional. I have also heard of us…
My son and I share a room (he is 11 months old.) I don't think my room is quite that big, but I have most of his toys in the front room. On one wall I have put up his decorations...where the wild things are decorations, books, stuffed animals, and h…
So because of my current financial situation, my son and I will be moving into a new apartment with a friend of mine and I will need to share a room with my son...which I don't mind at all. He's only 2 so I think it will work out just fine. It will…
I will definitely keep you posted as to what happens and how things go. Thank you for the feedback!
well i hv been single for abt 4 yrs now and always finding it difficult to go into dating, i guessi hv kind of built a wall around my feelings. the last date i got into was just not it for me, though the guyis really wonderful, i just could not conn…
Once we have been hurt, that dreadful fight or flight reaction can kick in. Do you think this is a possibility? Take your time... enjoy yourself. If you feel comfortable with this guy, then go for it. If you hit the same wall again, try to figure ou…

I have never done this before but it was a long weekend and I need to vent
Well maybe I better start by filling you in on my background....long story short, I was with my ex for 3 years off and on. He now lives in Montana and is going to school, working, and partying. When we were together before I had never been happier. He wasn't exactly the most perfect guy (there's no such thing) but I knew he was perfect for me. At one point in our relationship we had talked about getting married and then one day it was like a switch was flipped and he did a 180. He wasn't ready t… Continue

Hi Kim... I truly think that it's important to forgive. My husband died a year and a half after our divorce and I was able to forgive him and talk to him before he left. I think that was the key to my closure. On the other hand, his parents have don…
