Stay Connected In A Long Distance Relationship

Long distance relationships can be filled with challenges that couples around the block from each other never face. On the other hand, the creative ways that you find to stay connected while you are living apart will increase your creativity when you are living together. It's incredibly easy to take another person for granted. You take for granted that they will always be there or will always love you... just because they always have. But when you live apart for a long period of time, you can draw on those memories to bring you closer together when you finally do live together. This is a bonus that other couples only experience if they purposefully take the time to be creative about connecting. So, while it is a challenge to stay connected, learning these skills now makes your relationshi...

Do You Need A Relationship Reboot

I call BS! And I'm not ashamed to admit that I have had to call BS on myself from time to time. Far too many men are not acting like men. This isn't about judgement. This is about intimacy in its highest form. Let us suspend talking about what we are not getting from our significant other. We have no control over that. But what we do have control of is how we treat out partners. And how we treat them speaks to how we really feel about ourselves. If you need all the conditions to be right to treat your lady like a lady, you're not acting a man. If you need for all of your needs to be met before you treat your wife or girlfriend like a lady, that is not an act of intimacy. That is an act of doing business. Conditions of equality in a relationship are not based on what have you done for me l...

How Jealous Are You?

How jealous would you be if your spouse or partner was regularly car-sharing with a much younger, good-looking business colleague, or exchanging texts with them into the evening? Modern life often involves travel, greater accessibility and flexible hours but those requirements can bring an undercurrent of unease with them. I was recently chatting with an attractive lady who was feeling jealous of her husband's relationship with his female co-worker. She was half of a successful, professional couple whose children had recently left home to go to university. She regarded herself as fit, possibly slightly overweight, but smart, well-dressed, up-to-date and interesting. However, she was aware that both she and her husband were leading increasingly separate lives and intimacy had pretty much dw...

When To Let Go Of Your Home Boys

Growing up you always had your home boys. Your friends usually had more influence over you then your parent(s). As we grew up bonds became tighter and you thought you had friends for life. However as you get older you start to understand that friendships by itself are more than likely not worth the time to entertain. The reason for that is because now you have responsibilities like bills, work, maybe children and maybe a wife or girlfriend. It is hard to squeeze male friendships into a grown man life and most of the times it is not even worth trying. Some of our home boys grow up to be bums and time wasters. Despite the connection you might have sometimes you have to let your friends go in order to not get sucked back down to their level. Here are 5 signs that you need to cut a friendship...

Young Minds And Social Media

Social media rewires young minds – here’s how. That satisfying feeling after doomscrolling through endless TikTok videos or impulsively shopping online mimics the relief of scratching an itch. This is dopamine at work — a brain chemical (neurotransmitter) responsible for feelings of reward and accomplishment. Whether indulging in viral videos or engaging in new hobbies, dopamine creates a sense of achievement that keeps us coming back for more. However, reliance on these dopamine hits can lead to lasting brain changes, particularly in teenagers and young adults. This is what my team and I at London Southbank University study. We investigated which brain regions and connections change due to increased social media engagement — or “dopa-mining”, as we call it. Using social media lights ...

Is Your Long-Term Relationship Turning Into A Roommate Syndrome Situation?

Long-term relationships often evolve, shifting and changing as partners grow and experience life together. However, sometimes this evolution can lead to a concerning dynamic: the "roommate syndrome." This isn't about shared living spaces, but rather a subtle erosion of intimacy and connection that can leave partners feeling more like housemates than lovers. Recognizing the signs is crucial for regaining the spark and preventing a drift into mere cohabitation. One of the first indicators of a roommate relationship is a noticeable decline in physical affection. While the initial stages of romance are often filled with spontaneous touches and expressions of love, maintaining that level of physicality might wane. When it dwindles to infrequent hugs or obligatory pecks, it's a red flag. Beyond...
