It’s official: Your wife is a control freak.
She needs to control everything — and she becomes near impossible to live with when she can’t.
Fortunately, there are things you can do to help your controlling wife address the fears behind her behavior.
She needs you to love and accept her as she is while also helping her become the person she wants to be.
If you’re both willing to do the work, there’s reason to hope for better days ahead.
The distance may be temporary, but its effects on your relationship can be long-lasting and lethal.
While separation can strengthen love if handled with care, thoughtless actions easily turn into vicious relationship killers that sabotage intimacy.
Before indifference set in and emotional anchors pull away, stop and reflect: are you cherishing each moment together or taking your partner for granted?
Make the miles melt away with consistent contact and constant affection.
If you avoid these hidden traps, your love can thrive across any distance.
The way people treat you is taking a toll on your health, not to mention your self-esteem.
You feel devalued — as if the whole universe is telling you that nothing you’ve accomplished in your life matters.
How do you tell someone to treat you better if you’re not sure you even deserve it?
Or if you are sure, how do you get other people to see more than your usefulness to them?
To begin, you need to understand how you’ve already taught others to treat you — and what you can do to teach them differently.
Infidelity can feel like the ultimate betrayal, shaking even the strongest foundations of love and trust.
Statistics from the General Social Survey show that 13% of wives and 20% of husbands admit to having an extramarital affair at some point.
When those sacred bonds are broken, it's common to experience disillusionment and heartbreak in the aftermath.
The hurt can be deep, calling into question everything you once believed.
While some relationships can recover with time and effort, many others slowly deteriorate.
Falling out of love is often an insidious process, one marked by subtle emotional shifts and growing ambivalence.
You notice your boyfriend lighting up when he gets a text from his female “friend.”
He laughs more with her than you and seems to share things he doesn't with you.
You start to wonder if his close friendship with her is threatening your relationship.
If you're unsure about the status of their friendship and worry he may have romantic feelings for her, you're not alone.
Some friendships morph into emotional infidelity without partners realizing it.
Pay attention to those uncomfortable gut instincts and recognize the subtle signs he may like his friend as more than a friend.
This doesn't mean he's cheating, but it could signify your relationship needs a checkup.
