What happens when you love someone but your habits of living are not compatible? How can this be so? Here are a few common examples of this problem. The incompatible habits of living tend to be in the areas of eating, sleeping, and of course, bathroom habits. Another common area of difference involves social habits.…
I just came out of a love relationship. Sometimes I see my old lover in you. Don’t break my heart. You’re not the kind of person I usually fall in love with. I fall hard when I fall in love. Don’t break my heart. It takes me a long time to heal. Will you hurt…
If you’re asking this question (Am I too old to be in love?), you’re probably nervous about being able to ‘handle’ being in love at ‘your age.’ Handle of course means ‘control’ the effects of love.

You start to realize that you and your…
If you love a ‘workaholic’ you’ll need to think about a few things. An addiction to ‘work’ is like an addiction to eating or sex, we all need to have it but in the right proportions. Not enough and there is a problem. Excessive amounts and there is also a problem. Workaholics on the surface…
Love can only thrive if there is trust. If you’ve imposed limits on what can and cannot be known about you, a love relationship will be difficult to say the least. When two people are in love they are united. If privacy is important to maintain your ‘boundaries’ as a person, love will feel like…
You fell in love and your lover started asking for money. You’ve given money to him or her and he or she never pays you back. He or she keeps asking for more money. It feels like it has become a condition of your relationship. You start to worry, but you don’t say anything about…
Being alone is difficult enough, never mind being alone on the holidays. It’s important that you have a psychological ‘strategy’ in mind to cope with the experience.
