How Colleges Are Supporting Students Leaving Abusive Relationships

Relationship violence threatens not only students’ physical safety and emotional well-being, but also their academic prospects. Some campuses are finding solutions to help keep survivors in school. Ana Blanco looked up from her hospital bed at the police officer. Her legs were bandaged, and they stung with pain. She tried to focus on what he was saying. Did she want to file a restraining order against her husband? Blanco had just told the officer how, on the way home from her college psychology class, her husband had ordered her out of the truck and then begun driving away as she tried to remove her school bag. She had been dragged about 20 feet, broken her toe and torn the skin from her legs. “You could have died,” Blanco remembers the officer saying. Blanco recovered from her injurie...

Why Do Some People Fall Apart When A Relationship Comes To An End?

If one has just gone through a break up, they may find that it is hard for them to focus on other areas of their life. Due to how much pain they are in, everything else could fade into the background. Perhaps they were with someone for a long time and they may have even had a strong connection with them. Therefore, now that the relationship has come to an end, it is going to be normal for them to be in pain. Death â What they are going through can be very similar to what they would go through if another person had passed on. Their ex won't have passed on but what they had to together will no longer exist. This shows that it doesn't matter if another person has passed on or if they have just gone from one's life; it is still going to be experienced as a loss. In both cases, their life ...

The Secret To Flirting Through Text

While guys might not hang to every word that a girl says through text, the opposite holds true for the opposite sex. Aside from hanging onto every word, girls also save various text messages like they were treasures and even show them to their girl friends sometimes. Flirting through text may not be easy in the beginning, but if you do things right, you could end up with your own ringtone in her mobile phone in no time - believe it. The secret to flirting through text is to figure out which emotional buttons to push in a girl. The easiest ways to do this would be through teasing and playful messages. As sweet as texting a girl "good morning, gorgeous" every morning might be, messages like that simply won't cut it anymore. You have to be funny, light and sarcastic all at the same time, as ...

Leaving Home To Be With Someone You Love

We have all been in love once or twice in our lives. And we all felt like moving in and living with the other person forever. Some relationships worked out, some have not. Despite that, we all had that rush feeling of leaving home for love. But is it the right thing to do? Are we rational when we take a decision that is tied with love or are we acting on an irrational base? When should anyone move out from their house and with their current boyfriend or girlfriend? What should you consider before moving out? Here is what you should take into consideration before leaving home for love: Age - before you even consider leaving home, you should ask yourself if you are not too young to do so. 16, 17 and even 18 can be considered too young to move out and be with the person they l...

How to Prevent Break-Up or Divorce

As a Marriage & Family Therapist for over 40 years, I have counseled many couples. With the goal of improving their relationships, I helped them understand themselves and each other, practice constructive communication, express their resentments, make positive agreements, and create win-win solutions. Then I ask them to forgive themselves and each other for anything they did or said that was not loving. I tell them that they both did the best they could with the information they had, and now they know better. I believe that most people struggle with their partners, because love is not enough, and they lack the necessary insights and solutions. "It is like you want to build a house," I tell them, "but you have no manual or tools to succeed. Then you wonder why your relationship is stru...

Your Partner’s Annoying Quirks

"And that's when I shot her, your Honor" my husband says when he's annoyed with me, or had it with one of the many quirks I have that drive him crazy. That punch line never fails to make us laugh, and diffuse the situation. Why does the person you love most get on your nerves so badly? It's not that men are from Mars, or women are from Venus; it's more like we all grew up on different planets-and when planets collide, watch out! It seems logical that like would attract like, but in my private counseling practice, it's obvious that people are often drawn to their opposites. In a new relationship, it's adorable and exciting. It's not until partners become comfortable and more relaxed with each other, that all those new and exciting quirks become old and irritating. Familiarity makes those ...

Why Does Love Feel Magical? It’s An Evolutionary Advantage

In this age of science, many people see supernatural forces as illusions rooted in wishful thinking. But love remains a profound exception to humanity’s trend toward rationality. Evolutionary psychology may explain why magical thinking is so central to love. Viva Luna Studios via Unsplash, CC BY People are used to seeing romantic love presented as it is on the reality show “The Bachelor” – as a force cosmically bound to one’s destiny. It’s an idea that is at once laughable and uncannily relatable for anyone who has been in love and felt their pairing compellingly “meant to be.” Our research suggests that magical notions of fated love and soulmates are very common and deeply felt. As psychology researchers interested in why human beings think, feel and behave in the ways they do, we ask a...
