Friends Don't Always Like Your Partner

December 17th 2008 01:35

Sometimes friendships and relationships do not mix. Even friendships and friendships do not always gel. Human relations are meshes of complex and simple elements, and sometimes can’t be melted down to bind.

What is mine is yours, and yours is mine - is it not?

July 30th 2008 06:49

Most people have different attitudes about money. So, when two people get into a relationship, the money aspect can get a little more complex than anticipated. It’s probably fine, when you don’t live together (yet) and one can’t quite see how the other spends the money – but boy, can it be a big surprise for some when they start a household together

Fair-weather friends?

June 18th 2008 01:58

We have (and have had) friendships – and probably realise that friendships come in a variety of shapes, sizes and dynamics. What makes some friendship last (a long time), and what makes some friendship slowly fizzle away

The breaking-point

December 11th 2007 10:19

I recently had the unpleasant experience of seeing a couple who’ve been together for over 20 years separate, and it appears that it is irreconcilable and a divorce is in the works.

At what price $$$

November 4th 2007 07:32

At the mention of weddings, eyes light up - no, not only the would-be bride...but also the florist, caterer, dressmaker and the rest of the cast of a typical wedding. Weddings can costs from just hundreds of dollars to millions! It doesn’t have to cost that much, but it usually does.

Is it ever too BIG?

November 1st 2007 01:54

It all began years ago when gold rings were traded as currency, and later evolved into a piece of jewellery and the all important symbol of a man’s love, affection and intention. These days before you out the cash for that piece of *bling*, you’re expected to know or rather be aware of the four Cs – color, clarity, cut, and carat weight.

The proposal...

October 24th 2007 08:02

I guess there are many ways to propose – from the usual romantic to some left-field ideas like adventurous, humorous or just plain unusual, you just need to tap into the creative left reserve of your brain. Just make sure your soon-to-be wife or husband is on the same wavelength as you, and would be wow-ed by your efforts.

Who does the asking?

October 22nd 2007 09:28

*It* is going well…and you’ve realised you can’t spend the rest of your lives without each other. It is THE time to ask but who does the asking? Traditionally, the would-be groom asked the would-be bride’s father for permission before asking the would-be bride. However, times have changed, and majority do not particularly go through those traditions.

Single, Attached...is there a greener side?

September 27th 2007 21:44

Typically singles would like to be coupled-up. The idea of a good constant companion and someone to grow grey with, along with the white picket fence has been the picture perfect scenario exploited to the max by corporations selling from insurance to food. So why isn’t singlehood celebrated as such?

Can the bar be too HIGH?

Past relationships can shape how we feel and what we look for in future relationships. Good or bad, past relationships imprint on our minds (and hearts) with various thoughts and feelings. While it may not be obvious, it probably is tucked away in some part of our brain - all ready to be drawn out when a similar experience/feeling presents itself.

To Tell or NOT to tell?

What kind of friend...?

June 28th 2007 00:55

Friends... the extension of one's family. The all important link to social networks for one's sanity -- weaving one into the social fabric so that one is considered *normal* as one has friends, because otherwise...one is a recluse or even a social outcast.
