Anyone else out there as obsessed with Orange is the New Black as I am? I swear if David didn’t pull me away from my Netflix and force me to live a normal human life, I’d have watched all 13 episodes in one sitting without showering, eating or even bathroom breaks. It’s so effing good! I don’t want to give anything away, even anything from season 1, but I will say that Piper and Larry’s relationship is so interesting. For anyone who’s living under a rock, the show is about Piper Chapman, who gets sent to a women’s prison for a decade old crime, leaving her fiancé out in the free world. Needless to say, this complicates their relationship. It got me thinking about couples where it feels like each partner is on a different planet. This separate world feeling doesn’t have to come from something as extreme as a prison sentence. It can happen when one person stays at home and the other works or when you’re in a long distance relationship or even when one person is extremely into a hobby (sports, video games or, um, Netflix!) and the other person is really not. Here’s how to bridge a gap between two worlds. Read more

Your man has suddenly gone off sex. The alarm bells are ringing in your head. It’s time to panic! Or is it?
Do you want to know the REAL reason men “go off” sex?
I’ll tell you in a minute, but first let’s look at how women normally react to this situation. In my two decades of coaching women, I see two reactions from women. The first thing that happens is you’ll ask your friends what they think, and most the time they’ll ask if you think he’s cheating. Now you have a seed of doubt in your mind and you’re worried.

Let’s get serious for a second and talk about deal breakers. There are superficial things, like chewing with his mouth open, using too much hair product or using the word “literally” to actually mean “figuratively.” When it comes to deal breakers like those, I say get over them and get over yourself. Literally, and I actually mean literally, no one out there is perfect. You’re going to have to accept some flaws if you want to find a life partner. That being said, there are some deal breakers that simply can’t be gotten over. And the kiddie question is one of them. Here’s how to deal if you’re dating a man who doesn’t want kids and you do.

As a man and a dating coach, I know men can be confusing to you ladies. I read all your emails, and I know you hate trying to figure out what we’re thinking, or trying to understand why we go cold sometimes. I know that sometimes men can feel like an unsolvable mystery, and there’s nowhere near enough room in this post for me to explain all our quirks (although in my program, “What Men Desire” I reveal exactly how men think and feel) but in this post I want to reveal 3 things men DESPERATELY want women to understand about us…
Are you sitting comfortably?

Oh, honey. I’m so sorry. If you clicked into this, you’re hoping to turn an ex-boyfriend into a current boyfriend. 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. Think about the words “break up.” It’s called that because your relationship is broken…in a Humpty Dumpty kind of way. Meaning, it’s never going to be put back together again. But, if you think you’re one of the few couples that can break up and then get back together and live happily ever after, here’s how you should go about it. It’s going to be hard, ugly and ultimately might not even be worth it, though. So, don’t say I didn’t warn you, k? Read more
